ARCOSYSS : Genesis
Modern structural construction adopts 3 time-tested technologies such as RCC, Steel & Prefab. However, each of these technologies has its own advantages and disadvantages.
RCC structures are strong, sturdy & durable but they are bulky, labour intensive and not ductile.
Steel structures are sleek, ductile & have high strength to weight ratio but they are costly, have a tendency to buckle & are prone to corrosion.
Prefab structures are quality proof, sustainable and cost-effective but they are equipment intensive, prone to leakages at joints and need considerable lead time.
ARCOSYSS is the net result of synergies between 3 time-tested construction technologies such as RCC, Steel & Prefab and 3 time-tested construction materials such as Concrete, TMT & GISS ; resulting in a partial prefab composite construction system which yields the best of all while also mitigating their limitations.
