HOUSINGBUILDINGSYSTEM

FASTSTRONGSIMPLE

Founded in 1976, BPDL® works with architects,

contractors, and developers to build major archi-

tectural and structural precast concrete projects

in America. Headquartered in Canada with a sub-

sidiary in São Paulo, Brazil (Stamp Pré-fabricados

Arquitetônicos), the company has built a solid

experience in precasting, technology transfer, and

R&D. For several years, BPDL® has been working

to provide a building solution to current housing

needs by designing a concrete based building

system. BPDL® CASA * is the fruit of this labour.

Significant reduction of construction time frame

Superior thermall mass & insulation

Outstanding quality & durability

Resilience to natural disasters

Flexible design possibilities

Contributes to sustainability requirements

Ease of installation

* Patent pending

Innovative concept of masonry, based on

the assembly of small dry precast concrete

elements held in position by the action of

compression steel rods.

Tests have shown only a superficial external damage with no danger

related to structural integrity when submit-ted to an earthquake of magnitude 7.

Adaptation to local conditions is done through threaded rods re-sizing.

Polyurethane foam does not constitute a source of food to termites or other insects.

Tests realized on a wall of 3,7 m x 3,7 m.

Resistance to water penetration under a dy-namic pressure difference.

Tests realized on prototype have revealed no water penetration at 720 Pa.

The system shows high resistance after being subjected to the impact of medium caliber pro-jectiles.

Tests were provided with a caliber 12 projectile fired from a distance of 7,5 m.

Both thickness of con-crete and polyurethane foam guarantee an inside-outside propaga-tion sound barrier.

CONTRIBUTION TO

SUSTAINABILITY

The ISLAND project is a residential development focused around small houses built with the BPDL® CASA sys-

tem. It was designed and developed according to the principles underlying sustainability, ie : durability of

materials, energy saving, preservation of natural habitat and a housing solution appeal that is

fast and doesn’t generate waste or distur-bance of the area.

Manufacturing requires little energy

Plant designed with a waste water processing and recovery system

Minimal sound pollution on site

Dry-process building system eliminates water requirements on site

Minimum waste

Limited surrounding disturbance

Important potential contribution to LEED® certification

Possibility to use local labour for construction

FINISHINGDISTINGUISHED

RESIDENTIAL HOMES

READY FOR OCCUPANCY IN

10 DAYS

The walls may be customised without affecting the envelope’s intrinsic qualities. But it is not necessary to treat

the original concrete finish, which features enviable longevity and bare-minimum maintenance. Sandblasting,

staining, painting, or installing siding are possible options. Once construction is complete, the building is ready

to be lived in since walls, ceilings, and divisions have a uniform and aesthetical finish.
