Modular fabrication and construction offer a number of advantages over conventional "stick built" construction. The bulk of the fabrication and assembly are performed at our facilities or our partners facilities, which allows us to ensure all work is performed according to our high standards, under controlled working conditions.
By reducing fieldwork, we also minimize the project's impact on the customer site, a significant advantage when the installation site is an operating plant. Modular construction also minimizes lay-down space, an important benefit when the field site is small or congested, and reduces delays due to adverse weather. In-air work is minimized, and foundation requirements are often simplified.
Modular construction also results in fewer fitting errors and re-works because we can pre-fit components, test them, prior to shipment. Requirements for highly skilled labor onsite are minimal, an advantage in areas where skilled labor is either costly or unavailable.
Procurement is often
simplified, especially when the installation site is located in an area where raw materials and equipment are expensive or difficult to obtain. In addition, modular construction can shorten schedules by allowing for concurrent processes, such as fabrication, permitting and logistical arrangements.
