ARCOSYSS : Genesis
Modern building construction adopts 3 proven construction technologies such as RCC, STELL & 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.
What happens when we INNOVATE & BLEND these 3 proven construction technologies?
It results in a SYNERGY called ARCOSYSS TECHNOLOGY - a composite construction technology that combines the advantages of the 3 proven construction technologies such as RCC, STEEL & PREFAB.
It results in a SYNERGY called ARCOSYSS TECHNOLOGY – a composite construction technology that combines the advantages of the 3 proven construction technologies such as RCC, STEEL & PREFAB.
