Manufacturing Process and Plant

Our factories are an antenna receiving and emitting the knowledge existing all over the world.

Our manufacturing process is based on the Rhizome model, each factory is capable of testing, certifying and implementing any new technology or science that will help the construction and the community thrive.

Always abiding to criteria that put Human, Earth and the economy at the same level of importance.

The Future of Construction & Manufacturing

In today’s globalized, competitive marketplace, being able to leverage technology to deliver faster turnaround times, meet lower pricing goals, provide customizable options, and deliver optimal quality can mean the difference between sustainability and irrelevancy. In this document, we will explore some of the leading solutions GloGreen Global LLC transforms the construction & manufacturing industry:

• Automation for cost savings
• Computer Numerical Controls for improved productivity
• Smart data for quality assurance
• Closed loop system for efficiency
• Connectivity for safety and communication
• Security solutions to protect it all
• Possibility to implement new technologies and knowledge

• Because the core of material is always the same, structural (steel of shipping container), insulation (UHPCC), finishes (UHPNC); our system of construction is completely vertically integrated including design, entitlement and permit process and construction
• Every factory will also include all licenses necessary for construction (architect, engineering, contractor and any trade necessary)
• Therefore, the owner of the factory has to be a developer eliminating the profit of all other trades needed for construction (up to 40% saving just here).
• The entire process is defined by a proprietary BIM software that from the design, the architect creates a cascade of tasks that start from the architect and engineer and goes to every department without any human involvement
• Within our manufacturing facility, our production capabilities are determined through logistical analysis of robotic equipment performance, transportation factors, human capital and role requirements, material procurement, storage and other time and resource sensitive conditions
• The calculations in this document are per the design of our Decatur Hotel in Las Vegas, NV
• The hotel provides us with key details to support the manufacturing facility design and operating strategy
• The factory is a tool for the community. Human resources, relationship with the authority, and material sourcing found as much as possible within the territory
• The primary production benefit comes from our automated shipping container fabrication
• The robotic arms used for cutting, reinforcement welding, insulation, painting etc. can complete specific work orders (modification of one shipping container) in approximately two hours.
• With four robotic arms in the facility, we conservatively will produce 40 container work orders per 24 hour

Papercrete UHPCC Insulation Blocks Production

UHPCC Production Capability:

• Approximately 5,000 blocks/day of UHPCC (papercrete) can be produced
  o Total volume of 160 yd3 of UHPCC per day.

Decatur Building UHPCC Requirements:

• Hotel rooms (3” thickness)
  o 120,000 ft2 = 1,120 yd3
• Penthouses (3” thickness)
  o 5,600 ft2 = 52 yd3
• Corridors/stairwells (3” thickness)
  o 32,000 ft2 = 300 yd3
• Mechanical room (3” thickness)
  o 10,000 ft2 = 92 yd3

Total Required Volume = 1,550 yd3
Avg Volume/Container = 3.88 yd3

With an average required production rate of 3.88 yd3 of UHPCC per container designed for 40 container work orders each day, we are capable of producing 160 yd3 of UHPCC each day. All UHPCC blocks are the same shape, have sufficient storage/curing space within our manufacturing facility and will not impede construction.

CUSTOM ARCHITECTURAL UHPNC ELEMENTS PRODUCTION

• Convert design to program for CNC or 3D printer to make initial model
• Thermo/Vacuform machine will use model to make multiple molds to be used in production
• Reinforce molds with fiberglass prior to pouring UHPNC
• Fabricate custom design elements (Doors, sinks, bathtub, tiles, counters, etc) for room interiors, and panels or roof tile for building façade and exterior

Note: This department capable of working in congruence with sub-sections of shipping container modification sections (some custom elements will be built around or assembled using plumbing and electrical components). Components can be transferred from respective sub-section as necessary to complete maximum of assembly before being sent to the ‘Main Area’ to be installed.

Custom UHPNC Design Elements

UHPNC Production Capability:

• Equipment in the Non-Structural Architectural Design Element Department of our manufacturing facility can produce 3 yd3 every 10 minutes
• With the consideration of machinery cleaning and form preparation, we expect production capability upwards of 250 yd3 of UHPNC per day

Decatur Building UHPNC Requirements:

• Showers/tubs (5.4 ft3 each)
  o 140 units = 28 yd3
• Sinks (0.9 ft3 each)
  o 300 units = 10 yd3
• Doors (4.0 ft3 each)
  o 170 units = 26 yd3
• Floor tiles (½” thickness)
  o 137,000 ft2 = 215 yd3
• Counters (1” thickness)
  o 5,400 ft2 = 17 yd3
• Outdoor panels (¾” thickness)
  o 12000 ft2 = 28 yd3

Total Required Volume = 324 yd3
Avg Volume/ Container = 0.85 yd3

With an average required production rate of 0.85 yd3 of UHPNC per container, and manufacturing strategy designed for 40 container work orders each day, we can produce 33 yd3 of UHPNC each day.
UHPNC elements will require time for prototyping, color experimentation, and quality control. The seemingly excessive production capability of 250 yd3 each day assures swift manufacturing of these elements once designs are finalized. The manufacturing facility includes sufficient storage space for curing of UHPNC elements prior to work order installation.

Transportation

Transportation Capabilities:
With the consideration that we are limiting a factory to a 100-mile licensing territory, we determined that a fleet of 3 to 12 trucks will guarantee that a minimum of 40 container deliveries can be completed each day.

Transportation Factors:

• 100 mile radius from factory to worksites
• 0.5 hr min/ delivery + (un)load
• 7 hr max/ delivery + (un)load
• 12 container trucks

Minimum of 41 deliveries/day (all deliveries at 100 miles)
Maximum of 580 deliveries/day (all deliveries within 5 miles)

The fleet of 12 trucks will generally be more than necessary. Our manufacturing facility will plan work orders and deliveries to accommodate the construction schedules of multiple work sites simultaneously throughout the licensing territory. We anticipate 6 to 8 trucks being able to complete all deliveries in a typical work day.

DECATUR ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

• Foundation construction (using Doka system)
  o 1 month
• Crane operation (403 containers)
  o 150 hrs
• Welding (5ft/ container)
  o 400 hrs
• insulation assembly
  o 1000 hrs
• interior element assembly (133 units)
  o 930 hrs
• MEP utility installation
  o 1200 hrs

Total Required On-Site Construction Time
3,680 hrs or 154 days

With a conservative on-site construction average time of 2-3 containers per day, we have the capability of simultaneously completing 5 Decatur-sized projects in roughly one year.

Prioritizing development projects and increasing manpower on work sites can complete a single Decatur-sized project at expedited rates.
