Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Sanitary or bathroom pods, as prefabricated, pre-finished elements, are a common application of volumetric precast concrete elements often used in residential or hotel build- ing projects. In Asia, the term PBU (Prefabricated Bathroom Unit), is commonly used to describe such elements. One of the main advantages of this system is the completion of architectural fit-out and MEP works in a controlled environment, resulting in better productivity and consistent quality. This results in an increase of complexity in the coordination and preparation of element drawings - making the level of detailing very crucial.
