industrialized systems for a new construction phase

The Construction in Buenos Aires is undergoing a quiet but profound change. The pressure for improve energy efficiency, shorten construction deadlines and organize logistics This led many studios and developers to reexamine a seemingly immovable element: traditional brickwork. In this context the Autoclave hardened aerated concrete (HCCA), and within this universe the System developed by Brimax It has become one of the most watched options on the market.

From the Gran Rosario plant The company produces HCCA bricks and slabs with different sizes and thicknesses, for both residential and high-rise buildings, mixed developments and industry. The material bonds low thermal conductivity, good acoustic performance, mechanical resistance and dimensional accuracyfour variables that are increasingly important in defining the envelope.

One of the reasons for this introduction is necessity comply with stricter energy regulationsincluding Law 13.059, which specifies thermal requirements for walls and roofs. The low transmittance achieved with HCCA walls allows the required values ​​to be achieved without always having to resort to composite wall systems or additional insulation layers.

For many project teams the Brimax system became one of the most direct paths Align the work with the current thermal requirements and at the same time Improving interior comfort and reducing air conditioning consumption. Simplifying details – fewer materials, fewer complex encounters, less risk of thermal bridging – seems to be as strong an argument as the regulations themselves.

Brimax was not left alone with the blockade. In recent years expanded its portfolio to include partition and support panels, ceilings, thermal insulation panels and lintels. This allows a large portion of the shell and many internal enclosures to be solved using the same system, which architects value for continuity of performance and reduction of weak points in the shell.

The installation of panels became one of the company’s most important growth factors. Be Modular format, low weight and factory precision They help speed up work, reduce waste and organize logistics, a sensitive point in large urban projects where storage space is limited and deliveries must be strictly planned.

This progress can be explained not only with good slogans, but with concrete data: technical support from the pre-project phase, adapting solutions to each typology and supply network We are prepared to maintain high volumes on demanding schedules. The predictability of production and inventory became an aspect valued as much as the thermal performance of the material.

The industrial leap was getting closer End of 2024with the introduction of a new production line at the Santa Fe plantafter an investment of more than 30 million dollars. This expansion made the company possible continuously produce the entire product range at HCCA, with greater capacity to deliver concurrent work and maintain quality homogeneity, which is critical when replicating the same system in successive towers or phases of a master plan.

A system that meets the sector’s agenda

The combination of envelope quality, thermal compliance, fast execution and comprehensive offering explains why The Brimax system appears more and more frequently in specifications, tenders and project specifications in Buenos Aires. This is not just about adding a “new building block”, but about adding an industrialized system that is in dialogue with the current agenda of the sector: energy efficiency, rationalization of resources and reduction of local insecurity.

In this sense, Brimax’s journey into the city functions as a symptom of a broader trend: the search for construction systems that make it possible to improve the technical quality of buildings without losing sight of the costs, deadlines or scale of large urban construction projects.
