Innovative precast reinforced-concrete hollow-core slab system changes Central Asian cities

The innovative Motus building system allows for constructing not only solid and sandwich walls but also three-dimensional hollow-core slabs in many shapes and designs. EGI, an Uzbek construction contractor, relies on the industrial prefabrication of these elements based on automated processes and the expertise provided by Vollert, the German equipment manufacturer.

The innovative Motus building system comes with a number of advantages, including affordable housing, new architectural highlights and high earthquake resistance. Its range includes not only solid and sandwich walls but also three-dimensional hollow-core slabs in many shapes and designs. EGI, an Uzbek construction contractor, relies on automated manufacturing processes and the expertise provided by Vollert, the German equipment manufacturer, for the industrial prefabrication of this building system.

Nowadays, urban architecture has to meet a large number of different needs, such as applying...
