Large-scale Modularization

Large-scale Modularization
Improving construction efficiency and productivity with modular innovation and methods
Productivity by Design
We recognize that communication is key, and the process starts with an in-depth client consultation to understand project risks and challenges and more deeply understand the design intent. This initial design effort culminates in a Modular Program document that becomes the basis of design for the project execution. We then perform the LOD 400 construction modelling and detailing to enable fabrication of services in lower cost, higher capacity geographies outside of the project locus. Finally, we develop the site modular installation schedule and sequence with the Owner’s on-site construction team to enable more granular, reliable planning of the predecessor and follow-on activities, greatly improving on-site construction efficiency.
Our process, successfully employed on advanced technology projects of the highest complexity and difficulty, has consistently succeeded in delivering cost and schedule certainty to our clients.
Modular Advantages
- Substantially increases both on-site and off-site construction productivity through robust engineering, construction planning, and manufacturing grade processes.
- Vast majority of welds and joints removed from site, reducing trade labor requirements and schedule durations.
- Improves jobsite safety by reduction in exposure to elevated and congested work conditions and related safety incidents, as well as vastly reducing the number of individual rigging and high-risk lift activities associated with traditional construction methods.
- Robust supply chain management, progress tracking, and long lead procurement processes.
- Compressed base-build construction durations by sequencing and rigging large scale prefabricated modules on-site.
- Robust upstream and downstream Quality Program, leading to compressed testing and commissioning durations.
- On-site infrastructure requirements are reduced due to the elimination of material laydown and storage/staging areas normally required for traditional construction methods.
Large Scale Modularization
Our large-scale modularization programs reduce both on-site labor and fabrication labor costs.
Engineered Productivity Solutions
We can improve the way process utilities are standardized, fabricated, assembled, and erected on-site to deliver fast-tracked completion milestones.
