In a SCIP (Structural concrete insulated panel) building all the walls, floors and roofs are made of prefabricated foam panels with robotically welded mesh at each side and a 3-D truss system welded through the center foam panel.  Applying a concrete skin to both sides of the panel brings strength to the structure.

Each panel is made of a large content of recycled materials.  The building can be erected rapidly by connecting the panels for walls, roofs and floors. Concrete coatings on each side of the panel give these structures tremendous strength, fire resistance and high insulation values.  

With Studio RMA Technology these buildings can now be designed with a continuous insulation envelope and engineered to withstand the extreme forces of nature. The structures require less energy to operate, have low maintenance and their lifespan is measured in centuries, not decades.
