The Speedwall Building System offers a radically innovative yet entirely simple response to the challenge of building housing in the 21st Century. There is a desperate shortage of low cost housing across the developing world due in part to the failure of traditional and inadequate construction methods. The scientific community has long recognised the potential represented by panel based systems.
The Speedwall Building System consists of site produced wall, floor and roof panels which can be quickly located and fixed in position before being sprayed with a concrete sand / cement render. This method of construction though the use of panels has long been recognised by the scientific community.
The patented Speedwall panels consist of two sheets of welded wire mesh reinforcement enclosing a core of fire retardant insulating material. The layers of mesh are linked at regular intervals with a wire truss, spot welded to each face. A wall, floor or roof is then completed by applying render to both sides with a mortar pump.
One of the main attractions of the Speedwall Building System is the efficiency it brings to the building process. The use of steel reinforcement greatly reduces the need for materials whilst greatly increasing strength.
The Speedwall Building System uses hot dipped galvanized steel wire which proves to be faster, stronger and more versatile and economical than the use of wooden frames or concrete blocks, or any other wall panel system.
