Modular construction

模块化建筑

‘Modular construction’ is a term used to describe the use of factory-produced pre-engineered building units that are delivered to site and assembled as large volumetric components or as substantial elements of a building. The modular units may form complete rooms, parts of rooms, or separate highly serviced units such as toilets or lifts. The collection of discrete modular units usually forms a self-supporting structure in its own right or, for tall buildings, may rely on an independent structural framework.

“模块化建筑”是一个术语，用于描述使用工厂生产的预制建筑单元，这些单元被交付到现场，并作为大体积组件或建筑的实质性元素进行组装。模块化单元可以组成完整的房间，房间的一部分，或独立的高服务单元，如厕所或电梯。离散的模块单元的集合通常形成一个独立的支撑结构，或者，对于高层建筑，可以依赖一个独立的结构框架。

The main sectors of application of modular construction are:

模块化构建应用的主要领域有:

• Private housing私人房屋

• Social housing公共房屋

• Apartments and mixed use buildings公寓和混合用途建筑

• Educational sector and student residences教育部门和学生宿舍

• Key worker accommodation and sheltered housing主要工作人员住宿和庇护住房

• Public sector buildings, such as prisons and MoD buildings公共部门建筑，如监狱和国防部大楼

• Health sector buildings卫生部门的建筑

• Hotels酒店

Thousands of modules are manufactured annually in the UK. The largest markets for modular construction are in student residences, military accommodation and hotels, but the health sector is significant as it requires highly complex services and medical installations that can be commissioned and tested off-site.

英国每年生产数千个模块。模块化建筑的最大市场是在学生宿舍、军事宿舍和酒店，但卫生部门的重要性很大，因为它需要高度复杂的服务和医疗设施，可以在场外委托和测试。
