Full-scale folding building mechanism inside a fabrication hall

Deployable structures

DevelopmentAutonomous construction

Segal Development connects the site survey, the design, the material, and commissioning for additive construction and deployable structures.

Development

Connecting site information with construction.

Survey, material placement, and deployment form a common framework for additive and transportable structures.

A site survey becoming a toolpath

Survey

01

Site measurements inform the structural model and the machine toolpaths used in construction planning.

The problem

Remote construction must account for limited access, material availability, environmental conditions, and the support required on site. These constraints shape the building system as much as the structure itself.

What we build

Construction runs from survey to design, material placement, and commissioning. Additive methods follow the site model. Transportable structures are assembled off site and deployed where that fits the destination.

What we need from you

  • What use, occupancy, and environmental requirements define the structure?
  • Which materials and utilities are available locally, and which must be transported?
  • What site preparation, structural assessment, and commissioning work will be required?

  • Site information and a structural model that inform the construction method.
  • Material and deployment requirements for an additive or transportable structure.
  • Commissioning criteria covering the structure, services, and intended occupancy.
