A box-type structure (12) is arranged distally from the intruding section (11) and comprising a closed or partly open construction. The building system further comprises a connecting element (4), having a cross-section basically a shape of a U-profile. The connecting element (4) is arranged on sub-frames (7a, 7b) of two adjacent elements (1).

A system for assembling prefabricated walls, said system comprising: at least one prefabricated wall having an anchor pathway extending therethrough along a height thereof and between a bottom opening and a top opening; a first anchoring element; a second anchoring element configured to be coupled to the first anchoring element, and to be slidingly received and extend along within the anchor pathway; and a coupler configured to couple the second anchoring element to the first anchoring element, said bottom opening being configured for slidably receiving the first anchoring element, the coupler and at least a first end of the second anchoring element coupled to the first anchoring element.

A modular partition system comprises a plurality of panels and at least one connecting strip. Each of the plurality of panels comprises two support members extending generally perpendicularly to a plane of the modular partition system and a central panel extending between said two support panels. The plurality of panels are arranged such that the central panels of each of the plurality of panels are generally mutually parallel and one support member of each of the plurality of panels is adjacent to a support member of an adjacent panel. The at least one connecting strip cooperates with a support member from each of two of the plurality of adjacent panels so as to connect said two of the plurality of adjacent panels.

A wastewater evaporative separation system can include an evaporation panel assembly having a plurality of individual evaporation panels laterally and releasably joined together, the evaporation panel assembly configured for receiving wastewater from a body of wastewater and evaporating water therefrom as the wastewater cascades down the evaporation panel assembly and contaminants become more concentrated. The system also includes a wastewater delivery system fluidly associated with the body of wastewater with a fluid directing assembly delivering the wastewater from the body of wastewater to an upper portion of the evaporation panel assembly.

The present disclosure evaporation panel systems including plurality of evaporation panels, wherein a first evaporation panel and a second evaporation panel of the plurality of evaporation panels each include evaporation shelves and support columns to support and separate to the evaporation shelves. At least a portion of the support columns include evaporation fins so that wastewater is loadable along the support column. The first evaporation panel and the second evaporation panel in this example are releasably connectable to one another to form a sub-assembly.

A snap lock system for connecting adjoining countertops comprises: a first locking unit comprising a first surface and an opposite second surface, the second surface being attachable to a first countertop, wherein the second surface has a profile comprising a projection, a first recess, and a second recess; a second locking unit comprising a first surface and an opposite second surface, the second surface being attachable to a second countertop, wherein the first surface has a profile comprising a projection and a recess; the second surface comprises a recess; and a third locking unit comprising a resilient member and a chamfered longitudinal edge, accommodated in a locking groove defined by the second recess of the first locking unit and the recess of the second locking unit. The profile of the second surface of the first locking unit is configured to receive the profile of the first surface of the second locking unit to provide a connection preventing mutual horizontal movement between the first and second locking units. During connection of the first locking unit and the second locking unit, the third locking unit is configured to allow vertical mating of the first locking unit and the second locking unit and, after connection, the third locking unit is configured to prevent mutual vertical movement between the first locking unit and the second locking unit.

A system and a method for securing a first composite panel to a second composite panel include a latch assembly having one or more latches. The latch assembly is configured to be secured to one of the first composite panel or the second composite panel. One or more strikes are configured to retain at least a portion of the one or more latches. The one or more strikes are configured to be secured to the other of the first composite panel or the second composite panel.

A system includes a plurality of a clip, the clip comprises a securing mechanism, a first side, a second side, a bottom end, and a top end. During installation of an insulation system a plurality of the clip are coupled to a support beam and disposed within a plurality of notches of a second insulation board. The plurality of clips further include a width that is substantially equal to a width of the plurality of notches such that during the installation of the insulation system the plurality of clips are disposable within the plurality of notches to allow a second side of a first insulation board to contact a first side of the second insulation board and the securing mechanism secures a back surface of the first insulation board against the plurality of clips.

An evaporation panel can include a first evaporation shelf including a first upper surface and a first lower surface, a second evaporation shelf positioned beneath the first evaporation shelf and having a second upper surface, and a support column disposed between the first evaporation shelf and the second evaporation shelf. In this example, the support column can include an evaporation fin.

The disclosed interlocking panel systems are portable, self-supporting, and modular. They may function as guards around the sides, rear, and a surface of a workspace and can be disassembled by one person and transported to a sink for cleaning or another location for use or storage. They may also function as structural panels for constructing an enclosure, such as a building.
