fab-tek®: A Construction System that Combines Quality, Speed, and Economy, Without the Need for Plaster or Paint

fab-tek® Construction System is a building technology developed by Yapı Merkezi, specially designed to bring quality, speed, and economy to building construction. The system’s main components are a combination of YAPIBLOK® and KİLİTLİBLOK® modular concrete wall elements, along with PANELTON® prestressed hollow-core concrete floor elements. This system provides equivalent strength and durability to reinforced concrete shear walls through its reinforced masonry load-bearing walls.

In 1999, fab-tek® was shortlisted for the TÜBİTAK-TTGV-TÜSİAD Technology Grand Award, drawing attention for its innovative approach to the construction sector.

fab-tek® offers flexibility across all stages of residential projects.

Key Advantages:

  • Structural Durability: fab-tek® Construction System creates a structure with high resistance to earthquakes, impact, and wind forces. It provides equivalent strength to reinforced concrete shear walls.
  • Aesthetic Design Flexibility: The self-colored and textured concrete blocks offer an aesthetically pleasing appearance for both interior and exterior spaces. Additionally, the exterior requires no maintenance, such as plastering or painting.
  • Insulation and Fire Safety: It provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. The system also offers fire resistance for 5.5 hours in walls and 3.5 hours in floors.
  • Economic Benefits: fab-tek® offers significantly lower operational and maintenance costs compared to conventional systems. The industrialized construction process also contributes to cost savings by reducing labor errors.
  • Flexibility and Compatibility: The multi-layered building envelope provides flexibility in architectural designs and is adaptable to various ground conditions and structural systems.

Applications:

  • Residential Projects: fab-tek® adapts to different ground conditions and climatic features, creating comfortable and durable living spaces.
  • Office and Commercial Buildings: The system’s high durability and aesthetic flexibility make it ideal for commercial projects.
  • Industrial Structures: With its robust structural features, fab-tek® is perfect for safe, long-lasting industrial buildings.
  • Mass Housing and High-Rise Buildings: fab-tek® is suitable for various types of buildings, including medium-rise constructions, especially those in earthquake-prone areas.
