SPECIFICATION 1.3.3 EXAM PRACTICE STANLEY MODULAR \"ll. '95 IITEW T lT'lnl M l-I-l. F" The construction sector generates millions of tonnes of waste every year in most countries. This includes building materials. such as nails. electrical wire. steel and waste from site preparation such as tree stumps and the remains of demoiished structures. Some construction waste can be dangerous. as it can contain lead. asbestos or other dangerous substances. and this sort of waste needs to be disposed of carefully. Construction companies have come under increasrng pressure to reduce this waste. A construction firm in New Zealand. Stanley Modular. is committed to reducmg waste and has come up With some effective designs. Stanley constructs schools and homes in New Zealand using a limited set of standard components. Wall. ceiling and floor panes are constructed in a factory and then transported to the budding site. Almost all of the work is done in the factory. with just a small proportion done on site. Constructing the panels in a factory Cuts down the amount of waste on site. and the management of waste and materials becomes easier as they are all in one place. making it easier to oollect and sort the waste. Almost all the materials used by Stanley Modular end up In their completed buildings. because the parts of each building are created to fit the exact size of the nished structure. The small amount of excess is mostly recycled. with a tiny proportion discarded. Keeping the amunt of waste to these levels requires more empIOyees to actively work on waste management. as the factory environment has to be strictly controlled to ensure that waste is kept to a minimum. Waste is minimised in a wide range of areas. a Transportation.

More complex parts of the building process requrre more trips. but far fewer than would be required on a traditional building site. - Materials. in a typical build. 1200 kg of wood is wasted Stanley Modular only waste around 10 per cent of this. Reductions in waste have been found when all gun nails use standard nail strips. which prevents Operators from mixing up nail types. resulting in rework. The use of computer numerical control [CNC] machinery maximises the usable material from pieces of wood and metal. a Time wastage. Stanley Modular save a lot of time in their operations. They estimate that modular budding is up to a third faster than traditional construction. The use of CNC machinery is also 50 per cent faster than machinery controlled by hand. Stanley Modular continually explore ways to decrease the impact of construction on the environment. Their projects show how a well-designed prefabricated burlding system can minimise waste. improve productivity and speed up construction projects.
