Strata 3D Spray Panels - SCIP
The Strata 3D Spray Panel - commonly referred to as a Structural Concrete Insulated Panel or "SCIP" - is suitable for countless applications in construction and mining.
Strata 3D Spray Panels are two layers of galvanized steel-mesh on either side of an expanded polystyrene core. The panels are designed and welded for rigid strength and flexibility and can be easily cut to size and fastened together for a variety of applications. Sprayed with a concrete coating, the final structures are strong, air-tight and fire resistant. The polystyrene core maximizes insulation for construction use and flexion to absorb overpressure in mining.
The Strata 3D panels can be used for construction of residential, commercial, and industrial structures. Construction with the 3D panels is uniquely different from traditional methods and offers numerous benefits. This “formless” technique is easy to learn and does not require teams of highly skilled laborers.
The panels are lightweight and can be sized, handled, and positioned by hand. They are joined or clipped together with mesh at the seams and corners to form architectural structures that are then coated with structural concrete and multiple finishing techniques.
- Strata 3D Spray Panels are lightweight and strong
- They require minimal bracing to hold in place
- Secured to the foundation with rebar dowels
- They can be cut and shaped using off-the-shelf tools
- They allow for quick installation of utility wiring and piping
- They eliminate the need for additional insulation products
Ventilation is one of mining’s most essential components and an effective, long-term method of ventilation construction is imperative to mine safety and efficiency.
Strata 3D Spray Panels provide a fast, low cost and highly versatile method of building ventilation structures that will last and will maintain their airtight integrity.
3D panels are lightweight and easy to handle, significantly reducing the labor time, crew members and overall materials handling involved in construction.
