The TRUSSDECK™ Ultimate Building Block System and Process

TRUSSDECK™ Building Block Systems is a science and engineering group dedicated to delivering the latest technologies in materials science and chemical technology to the building and construction industries. Our research laboratory continually develops new innovative high performance materials which range from ballistic catching polymer materials to extreme longevity polymer coatings to sustain lifetime wear in harsh environments. Please read our Science-Technology web page as we discuss developing our advanced technologies. In this section, we want you to learn about how we utilize this technology to bring about high performance safety building structures for use in the protection of our homes and workplaces where we live our lives. It has become apparent that residential homes and other safety building structures for people everywhere in today's volatile world must be addressed by the use of today's technology. As the age of depleting our oxygen supplying tree resources is coming to an end and people's safety becoming a priority in this world while also in the light of protecting our families we must now turn to creating these energy efficient safety structures economically. Implementation of these advanced materials within an economical forum is the now the global theme where we must all contribute to the world in which we our lives and for the generations of lives to come on this planet.

Research, development and engineering groups all over the world produce our world's technological developments which include these necessary high performance materials for our future. These types of materials are the key to building the new generation of safety energy efficient building structures we are in need of today. The required physical properties of these materials are now in high demand in every aspect of our lives. Our science and engineering groups at Trussdeck USA have worked in collaboration with numerous others to produce these much more economical extreme property materials (Video clip Right). These new extreme property materials include being fire retardant, waterproof, hurricane & tornadic wind resilient, high impact resistant, solar heat cooling, insect proof, thermally energy efficient, acoustically quiet, surge water resilient and earthquake seismic wave isolating. Trussdeck structural safety building assemblies deliver the inherent extreme performance, longevity and maintenance free attributes we are all demanding. Our future home investment should be out with the old and in the new. The value of these new home and other safety building structures with last over time. Trussdeck Building Block Systems are creating these assemblies for all people around the globe, licensing the technology to countries to set up their own factories and employ their own people to construct safety structures. 

Trussdeck™ Structures: The first understanding is to know what are Trussdeck™ Safety Building Structures... where are they best used ...and what are their limitations. Trussdeck's are structural high performance building blocks used in the construction of structural safety assemblies such as residential homes, school houses, activity centers, small to medium sized business buildings, storefronts, fast-assembly military and nursing buildings, environmental safety shelters, protective enclosures and other types of structures where protection is needed for people to live and work. The individual Trussdeck Building Blocks become unitized into a structural bonded and bolted energy handling assembly. Trussdeck buildings may be designed in just about any geometrical configuration. Limitations of the Trussdeck Building system are to the point where concrete and steel take over such as for larger building structures. Limitations also exist depending on the level of protection regarding high levels of ballistic and explosion performance. Trussdeck possesses the composite technology to integrate these extreme protective features into a Trussdeck assembly but the economics become skyrocketing. For these high levels of protection it is best to utilize steel reinforced blast shield protected concrete structures.

The Trussdeck™ Building Process Start to Finish -- Step 1: Determine all desired interior and exterior design requirements as normally created in a full set of building plans. List the degree of structural loading forces exerted from mother nature's environmental conditions. List any areas of the floor plan where heavier than normal weight loads may occur such as walk in freezers, large body of water, heavier equipment and weight rooms. These combined building requirements are termed the Trussdeck Assembly Criteria (TAC). Next, our central engineering group develops the structural computer model of the specific design. After the model has been created the Analytical Group takes over. The engineer's model is subjected to the realistic physical static and dynamic loading conditions as prescribed in the TAC. As an example, let's say the TAC dictates the building is located in a tropical wind CAT 4 environment, 110F temperature environment and susceptible to low surge water flooding. These combined loading conditions are given boundary conditions which then are numerically computed to generate a dynamic simulation showing the level of strength and weakness values of the structural assembly. Trussdeck engineering works directly with the analysis group to finally optimize the structural design. After completion, engineering complies the materials build list which is then will be forwarded to manufacturing. Every new Trussdeck building design given its own TAC set is analyzed in this method. After engineering closure, the set of building plans The construction assembly is forwarded to the destination's local building Inspection engineer for agreement on construction.

Trussdeck™ Manufacturing -- Step 2: After all is confirmed the Trussdeck components are manufactured. All Trussdeck components are double-checked for dimensional accuracy as so all in accordance to the design build GD&T tolerances. All Trussdecks are then series marked and color-coded with its own individual structural and positioning designations. All Trussdecks are then checked carefully by plant engineering to align within the correct "Material Build Stack" (MBS) and assure all parts are properly marked prior to shipping. All assembly materials, assembly fixtures, special components and required tools for the particular Trussdeck Structural Build Unit (TBU) are checked and forwarded to the supervisor of the Installation Team. All members of the installation team are factory certified with cross-functionality training.

 Trussdeck Installation -- Step 3: All Installation Teams (ITs) are notified with a prior 2 week assembly notice for every TBU in which they are responsible. Prior to the Trussdeck™ Building Blocks and Installation team arrival, the Foundation Building Team (FTs) prepares the site with the complete foundation installation. The IT supervisor is also responsible for the FT work. He is normally the focal point of contact for the entire TBU to the customer and the local building inspectors. FT and IT supervisors must both sign off with each other in accordance with the job's design engineer specification. Any on-site change must be submitted with full documentation as per Trussdeck ISO standards to central engineering. Once the FT and IT nd approval from the local building inspection department is signed off only then will ground breaking commence. The foundation build is the most important and critical build stage for the construction of the TBU. Normally, Trussdeck installations are completed within 1-2 weeks*. All Trussdeck™ Building Blocks are bonded and bolted to each outer creating a unified body assembly which permits imparting transient forces to be transferred efficiently throughout the structure.
