Inovações tecnológicas na construção civil de componentes e elementos para sistema de vedação vertical interno e externo

Abstract

Civil construction, a sector commonly known for the use of traditional methods and processes, has turned, in recent years, to the use of innovative practices to meet the new demands of society and to modernize itself. These innovations open the way to a number of benefits, previously little explored by constructors, such as product differentiation, productivity gains and labour reduction, in general terms. Thus, innovation is a practice that seeks to improve and develop products and processes within an organizational culture. It is seeking to encourage the use of innovation in construction that the context of this work fits in by proposing the identification of technological innovations developed by national and foreign builders and suppliers from the sector to be used in the internal and external vertical sealing system. For the identification of these innovations, it was indicated as method a research, consulting different technical magazines and electronic addresses of builders and suppliers of civil construction, both national and foreign. For the presentation of these innovations in a clear and visual way, it was proposed a catalogue talking about its advantages, limitations, stages of innovation and preparations for use was, always exemplified by illustrative photos. As a result, fifty innovations were found that, in general, seek to industrialize processes, generate savings for the builder and final consumer, meet the demands of housing performance, utilize environmentally friendly materials and differentiate the final product of civil construction.
