Publication number: 20110302877Abstract: A wall fabrication system and method is provided. In an embodiment, an assembly line comprises one or framing stations and one or more insulation stations. The frame stations are configured to build a wall frame consisting of wall studs and a covering such as drywall. The wall studs and drywall define cavities in the frame which are to be insulated. Optionally, mechanical components such as electrical and plumbing can be installed. The wall section is then transferred to the insulation station. The insulation station is configured to fill the cavities in the wall frame with closed cell foam which is injected in flowable form into each cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2011Publication date: December 15, 2011Applicant: The Mattamy CorporationInventors: Peter Gilgan, Walter Mitchell, Peter Vohsemer
