Abstract (en)

A prefabricated module (10; 20), particularly for use in the building industry, comprising a three-dimensional wire structure (11) of welded steel wires which supports a plurality of panels (12-1, 12-2) in insulating material on either side. A filling space is provided between the panels on either side for introducing a filler material (13). The wire structure (11) comprising a series of plane nettings (16), which are held in spaced apart positions by a series of cross wires (18) welded to the nettings (16). Each plane netting (16) comprises a plurality of lengthwise wires (21-1/2, 22-1/2, 23-1/2) and a plurality of brace wires (25) welded to the lengthwise wires. The plurality of lengthwise wires comprises at least a first pair (21-1/2) and a second pair (22-1/2), the first pair (21-1/2) forming an outer pair of lengthwise wires and the second pair (22-1/2) being positioned inwardly from the first pair (21-1/2). The first (21-1/2) and second pairs (22-1/2) form spaces on either side of the prefabricated module (10; 20) in which the panels (12-1, 12-2) in insulating material are supported. <IMAGE>
