Spelsberg's IBT enclosures look to benefit hotel infrastructure The market worth of the global hotel industry has grown by $103. 61 billion U. S. between 2014 and 2017, which is driving the need for new hotels. As with any construction project, maximising budget and potential returns relies on meeting tight construction schedules. Consequently, pre-cast concrete construction has risen to prominence due to its efficient approach. Concrete is poured into panels with pre-existing formwork in-situ or off-site, speeding up construction. The challenge is to integrate services such as electrical infrastructure into the pre-cast panels easily, a… 18/11/2019Tags: EnclosuresTopics: Enclosures
