Kaksoisseinämärakenne

Kaksoisseinämärakenne refers to a construction technique involving two parallel walls with a gap or cavity between them. This structural design is employed in various applications, most notably in building construction and industrial containment. In buildings, the double wall system typically consists of an inner load-bearing wall and an outer facade wall. The space between these walls can be left empty, filled with insulation material, or serve as a ventilation channel. This design enhances thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling. It also improves soundproofing by absorbing and dissipating sound waves. Furthermore, the cavity can accommodate services such as electrical wiring and plumbing, keeping them concealed and accessible.

In industrial settings, particularly in the storage of hazardous substances like chemicals or fuels, kaksoisseinämärakenne is crucial for safety and environmental protection. The inner wall contains the primary substance, while the outer wall acts as a secondary containment barrier. The space between the walls, often referred to as the interstitial space, is equipped with leak detection systems that can alert operators to any breach in the inner wall before the substance can escape into the environment. This double containment significantly minimizes the risk of spills and environmental contamination. The materials used for both inner and outer walls are chosen based on their resistance to the stored substance and external environmental conditions.
