Sika Has the Solutions for New Trends in Construction – Modular Building

Construction sites are changing and modular building is one of the predominant trends in modern construction. Instead of building work being carried out entirely on site, structural modules are increasingly being prefabricated using automated processes and assembled at the construction site. Sika adds value to this trend. With the company’s experience construction processes can be industrialized, efficiency enhanced and standards raised.

Cities Are Going Vertical - And Sika Plays a Major Role

The architectural engineering practice of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill has designed the tallest residence building in the large-scale Hudson Yards development. The company’s Associate Director of Structural Engineering, Preetam Biswas, talks about the challenges of high-density construction, and the role played by concrete and leading suppliers of specialty chemicals like Sika in high-rise construction.

Increased Concrete Performance with Sika's Reinforcing Fibers

Urban construction requires high-strength concrete and reinforcement solution for demanding projects like highrise buildings or infrastructure projects where the concrete has to withstand high pressures. In recent years, Sika has expanded its presence in the fast-growing concrete reinforcing fiber market, with several acquisitions and investments in new production lines.

SolaRoof®: Becoming Energy self-sufficient

The importance of rooftop solar applications was recognized early by Sika, because its Solar Reflective (SR) membranes can increase the performance of Photovoltaic (PV) panels.

PASTE VOLUME OPTIMIZED CONCRETE WITH Sika® ViscoCrete®

Based on existing concrete recipes for all type of Argos concrete types the target was to optimize costs of concrete recipes, to improve quality of hardened concret and to increase the concrete recipe in terms of sustainability.

Nanjing Metro Company

Tunnel Segment Production with SikaRapid®

Due to the large numbers required and heavy weight, tunnel segments are almost always produced close to the tunnel portal in specially installed precasting facilities. They have to meet high accuracy specifications. Heavy steel formwork is therefore the norm. Because striking takes place after only 5 – 6 hours and the concrete must already have a compressive strength of >15 N/mm², accelerated strength development is essential. There are several methods for this. In the autoclave (heat backflow) process, the concrete is heated to 28 – 30 °C during mixing (with hot water or steam), placed in the form and finished.

Gypsum Biard Wall

Optimizing Gypsum Wallboard Fabrication

Sika provides the gypsum industry with tailor-made additive solutions for a cost-effective wallboard production based on innovative technologies like ViscoCrete® and Retardan®.
