Method for the transport, handling, positioning and fixing of floor-to-ceiling prefabricated construction element's to form fire-resistant internal walls or partiitions in constructions of any type, including naval construction

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the transport, handling, positioning and fixing of floor-to-ceiling prefabricated construction elements to form fire-resistant internal walls or partitions in constructions of any type, including naval construction, comprising the transfer and positioning of each panel ( 10 ) by means of transfer truck ( 1 ), optionally provided for panels ( 10 ) of more than 50 kg with an extendable rotary crane ( 3 ) holding them; the placement of a bolt ( 11 ) fixed to the ceiling and a sleeve ( 13 ) having an internal thread, and on the floor (S) a concrete bedplate ( 12 ), fixed by means of screws ( 18 ), incorporating in the upper edge of the panel ( 10 ) a metal bracket ( 20 ) having an inverted U section, fitted to the sleeve ( 13 ), and filling the space ( 14 ) existing between the panel ( 10 ) and the ceiling with concrete.

1 . A method for the transport, handling, positioning and fixing of floor-to-ceiling prefabricated construction elements to form fire-resistant internal walls or partitions in constructions of any type, including naval construction, of the type using a transfer truck and fixing the elements by means of screws fixed to the ceiling and supported on concrete elements on the floor, characterized by comprising using a transfer truck or structure ( 1 ), optionally provided with an extendable rotary crane ( 3 ) (in the event that the panels ( 10 ) or elements to be handled have a heavy weight, for example more than 50 kg) and provided with means for holding the panels ( 10 ) or construction elements to be handled, whereby performing, as a first step of the method, the transfer and positioning of each panel ( 10 ); in that for fixing the element ( 10 ), there is provided the placement of a screw or bolt ( 11 ) fixed to the ceiling (T) to which there is incorporated, on the part thereof that is external to the ceiling, a sleeve ( 13 ) having an internal thread, and on the floor (S) the placement of a bedplate ( 12 ), preferably of concrete, fixed by means of screws ( 18 ) inserted through vertical holes ( 15 ) provided for such purpose; in that once the screw ( 11 ) of the ceiling and the bedplate ( 12 ) of the floor are placed, the panel ( 10 ) or construction element is positioned between them, in the upper edge of which there is incorporated a metal bracket ( 20 ) having an inverted U section, said bracket ( 20 ) being fitted by means of pressure to the sleeve ( 13 ) covering the bolt ( 11 ) located in the ceiling; and finally in that the space ( 14 ) existing between the panel ( 10 ) and the ceiling, and corresponding to the space occupied by the sleeve ( 13 ), is filled with concrete. 
     
     
         2 . The method for the transport, handling, positioning and fixing of floor-to-ceiling prefabricated construction elements to form fire-resistant internal walls or partitions in constructions of any type, including naval construction, according to  claim 1 , characterized by the transfer truck or structure ( 1 ) being provided with a front support base for incorporating the panels ( 10 ) or elements to be transported, and with wheels ( 21 ) which can be manually operated by human or mechanical thrust or by a combination of both systems, as well as with an articulated mechanism which allows extending and retracting supplementary support feet ( 5 ). 
     
     
         3 . The method for the transport, handling, positioning and fixing of floor-to-ceiling prefabricated construction elements to form fire-resistant internal walls or partitions in constructions of any type, including naval construction, according to  claim 1 , characterized by the crane ( 3 ) provided on the transfer truck or structure ( 1 ) in the event that the panels ( 10 ) or elements to be handled have a heavy weight, for example more than 50 kg, being extendable and rotary, for which purpose it is provided with telescopic prolongations ( 8 ); and in that it has a hanging hook ( 6 ) and a retaining bolt or pin ( 7 ) intended for holding the panel ( 10 ). 
     
     
         4 . The method for the transport, handling, positioning and fixing of floor-to-ceiling prefabricated construction elements to form fire-resistant internal walls or partitions in constructions of any type, including naval construction, according to  claim 1 , characterized by the bedplate ( 12 ) being provided with through holes ( 16 ) traversing it longitudinally, intended for the electrical installation; and in that it has at least one access opening ( 17 ) in its central area.
