Adventure Shells, a joint venture with Venture Otto South Africa (Pty) Ltd, was formed in 2011 and is focused on providing the latest technology in modular construction solutions ranging from small units to full scale community applications, such as houses, school rooms and clinics to warehousing agricultural layouts and temporary construction site compounds.
The key to the success of this unique building system is that structures are based on the ‘igloo’ concept, where the panels themselves are used to provide the rigidity to the entire structure. The building system consists of extruded PVC panels, manufactured by Adventure Shells in Rosslyn, that are then connected to each other.
Panels have a hollow centre and can be strengthened with vertical metal ribs and can accommodate plumbing insulation and electrical services within the walls. Along with the steel frame, sourced locally, and the balance of the polymer profiles, doors and windows, imported from China, construction of the Adventure Shells unit is quick and efficient following a comprehensive building plan.
