How Pre Rig Truss Reduces On-Site Labor and Carbon Footprint Simultaneously

Factory-Built Trusses and Reduced Need for On-Site Labor

The Pre Rig Truss systems relieves up to 60% of the traditional workload in the way trusses are set up-- since we have control of its fabrication before making them available on site in in Pre Rig Technology factory locations. Manufacturing processes on factory assembly lines all but do away with weather delays, and components finish the process game-day ready due to precision engineering – an advantage not to be overlooked in a world where construction labor is back-logged globally. Off-site prefabrication is reducing labor costs by 20% and eliminating most quality control matters that usually result in re-work as demonstrated recently in industry reports (McKinsey 2024).

Faster Assembly Timelines with Pre Rig Truss in Residential and Commercial Projects

Builders using Pre Rig Truss report 50% faster roof framing completion, with commercial warehouses achieving structural readiness in 3 days instead of 2 weeks. Key drivers include:

• Parallel workflows (foundation work progresses during truss manufacturing)
• Crane-assisted installation replacing manual positioning
• Pre-drilled connection points eliminating measurement errors

A 2024 prefabrication study found hospital projects using prefab trusses reduced on-site assembly time by 67 hours per structure versus stick-built alternatives.

Case Study: 40% Reduction in Labor Hours Using Prefabricated Trusses

A mid-rise apartment developer achieved significant efficiencies by adopting Pre Rig Truss:

The 2024 Construction Innovation Report attributes these savings to factory precision, which also decreased overtime costs by 75%.

Reducing Carbon Footprint with Pre Rig Truss and Off-Site Fabrication

Comparing Carbon Emissions

Pre Rig Truss systems generate 30-40% less embodied carbon than traditional methods due to optimized material usage. Factory environments reduce waste by 18% through precision engineering, lowering emissions from raw material extraction (MIT 2021). Components require 22% less steel and 15% less concrete versus conventional builds.

Off-Site Fabrication Benefits

Centralized manufacturing achieves:

• 62% less energy waste than diesel-powered on-site machinery
• 35% fewer delivery trips through bulk procurement
• 25% lower construction-phase emissions (Energy and Buildings 2013)

Transportation vs. Factory Efficiency

While transporting large components increases emissions, lifecycle assessments show net savings:

For projects exceeding 10,000 m², this results in 14-19% carbon reductions (Zhou 2023).

Material Optimization and Sustainable Design

Precision Engineering

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and topology optimization algorithms improve material efficiency by 18%, reducing both waste and embodied carbon (truss design research).

Sustainable Material Selection

Key choices include:

• Recycled steel alloys (45% reclaimed content, 32% lower emissions)
• FSC-certified timber (30% lower lifecycle CO₂)
• Low-carbon concrete alternatives (20-40% cement replacement)

Standardization and Reuse

Modular designs enable:

• 90% disassembly rates for relocated structures
• 20% material cost savings through batch production
• 7-ton CO₂ reduction per 1,000 sq ft of redeployed trusses
