A system and method for a portable digital pod is provided. Generally, the system comprises a collapsible pod having a framework that can be expanded and collapsed using a hydraulic/pneumatic pack. The system may also comprise a computing device and display, wherein a user interface of the computing device may be manipulated by a user in a way that causes data of the system to be transmitted to said display and presented in a display user interface of said display. Security devices/methods of the system may be used to prevent unwanted access to the system and the data contained therein.

A system for securing modular building units to each other and a method for assembling structures using said method is disclosed. The disclosed system allows for modules to be connected to each other from an external position, without a person having to enter the modules to fasten components internally. The system and method may be used to build structures using prefabricated modules, avoiding significant amounts of onsite labor and drastically reducing the time required to erect structures.

A multi-sided structure, constructed from a plurality of prefabricated components consisting of fewer than 12 different prefabricated structural components, includes a floor assembly; a roof assembly; and a side assembly connected to the floor assembly and the roof assembly and extending between the floor assembly and the roof assembly. The floor assembly includes a plurality of the floor panels, each floor panel in direct structural connection with at least one other floor panel. The roof assembly includes a plurality of the roof panels, each roof panel in direct structural connection at least one other roof panel. The side assembly includes a plurality of the wall panels, each wall panel in direct structural connection with at least one floor panel and at least one roof panel.

Block construction of prefabricated buildings is disclosed. A building is constructed by the following steps. A plurality of structural units are assembled into a plurality of volumetric blocks. The structural units fabricated separately prior to assembly into the volumetric blocks. The volumetric blocks are assembled into a building frame. At least one non-structural module is inserted into the building frame. The non-structural module is affixed to one or more of the volumetric blocks.

The present application relates to a volumetric module constructed from a module chassis, an exterior wall attached to at least a portion of the module chassis, a floor assembly attached to at least a portion of the module chassis, and a faade adjustably attached to at least a portion of the module chassis. The volumetric module may be configured to interface with a separate accommodation module.

The invention provides a method of forming a concrete floor of a multistorey building, the method including: installing a first building module having a first precast concrete floor slab adjacently spaced from a second building module having a second precast concrete floor slab, at least the first precast concrete floor slab supporting an upstanding support member for supporting an upper floor; forming a channel between the spaced first and second precast concrete floor slabs by providing supporting formwork between the floor slabs for supporting poured concrete; and pouring concrete into the channel to form a concrete connection between the first and second precast slabs, thereby forming a concrete floor of a building.

An underground networking tunnel may be installed at a data center construction site prior to completion of a data center being constructed at the data center construction site. Networking equipment in the underground networking tunnel may be configured and commissioned concurrently with construction of the data center. Also data center power and cooling systems may service the underground networking subsequent to construction of a data center above the underground networking tunnel.

A module for a modular construction having a plurality of pre-fabricated panels including a faade panel, a rear panel, opposing side wall panels, a floor, and a ceiling. The drainage system for each module includes a gabled roof which supports a drainpipe for the module. Each roof portion has a slope in the range of approximately 0.1% to 5.0%. Opposing side panels have an extended height so as to provide a footed base to the module when assembled wherein the footed base provides a space below the floor of the module. A plurality of modules are assembled and connected to vertically and horizontally adjacent modules to form a modular construction. The drainage system for each module and the modular construction direct the drainage at angle away from the interior of the module and construction and out through the faade.

A habitation block including habitation levels that are arranged on top of each other, wherein at least one of the habitation levels includes adjacent habitation units including an outer shell formed from a cuboid container that includes a placement surface, a cover, up to two lateral walls and up to two face walls, a cuboid interior space which has an edge length of at least 2 m, a walkable base with step soundproofing, a room ceiling, and room walls, wherein the room walls are dry walls with an intermediary space formed between the cover and the up to four lateral walls and between the room ceiling and the room walls, and a monolithic thermal insulation in the intermediary space, wherein the thermal insulation fills the intermediary space completely and is glued together with the room ceiling and with the room walls.
