Certified modular building systems
Modular Engineering
Our systems are engineered as complete assemblies to achieve better outcomes at lower cost and with a stronger fire safety profile.
Tested at 1 000°C | 2 200 m² daily production | Fully verified & compliant
Engineered for Performance
Modular systems engineered for optimal performance and compliance, especially in temperature-controlled environments. Every system is tested, certified, and technically robust, ensuring commercial efficiency, safety and scalability across sectors.
Each panel is the result of four variables working together:
- Panel density and thickness
- Structural integrity and load-bearing capacity
- Fire performance and regulatory compliance
- Installed for quality performance
EPS vs PU Panel Systems
The assumption is that Polyurethane (PU) materials yield better outcomes. At RICTS, we take a different approach. Our systems are not simply material-based solutions, but fully integrated building systems, engineered around thermal and structural performance.
Our Expanded Polystyrene (EPS-based) systems achieve functional outcomes across most applications, whether for agriculture, cold storage, clean rooms or modular infrastructure.
| Performance Factor | PU Panels | RICTS EPS Engineered System |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal efficiency | High | Engineered to match via thickness |
| Fire safety | Higher fire load | Enhanced with fire-rated systems |
| Cost efficiency | Premium | Highly cost-effective |
| Structural reliability | High | Optimised via density selection |
| Scalability | Limited by cost | Ideal for large-scale deployment |
| Compliance alignment | Requires careful fire design | Strong alignment with SA standards |
Fire Performance
Tested. Engineered. Proven.
At RICTS, fire safety is not based on theory. It is validated through full system testing under extreme conditions. Our panel systems have been subjected to high-temperature furnace testing (~1000°C) in accordance with recognised South African fire testing standards.
Our fire performance is achieved through:
- EPS core engineered for stability
- Fire-rated board linings
- Composite layering to delay heat penetration
- Precise joint and connection detailing
Built for Every Environment
Where our systems work best
Education facilities
Rapid deployment of SANS-compliant classrooms and ECD centres that are scalable and cost-effective
Health facilities
Hygienic finishes, compliant assemblies, suitable for clinic and healthcare environments
Remote deployment
Modular systems designed for sites with limited access and infrastructure

Agriculture
Durable panels engineered for high-humidity and temperature-controlled environments, such as broiler houses and cold storage
The RICTS Difference
RICTS operates approximately 2 200 m² of in-house manufacturing capacity daily, with 95% of production under one roof. This scale, combined with ISO, Agrément SA, and SANS compliance, means our systems are reliable, independently verified, and ready for projects where quality and approval cannot be compromised.
- Tested for fire performance and safety compliance
- Cost-effective and scalable
- ESG-aligned systems with measurable socio-economic value
- Certified to the highest global and South African standards
