Modular Construction
Under traditional construction techniques, all
building materials, process equipment and
facility components are collected at a site and
assembled. The completed facility is then
tested, validated and brought to operational
status. This type is construction is costly and
time consuming. In general, the timeline for the
completion of a traditional process plant is
27-48 months.
In the modular construction concept, the
production plant is prefabricated in heavy-duty
and transportable modules. A factory can consist
of one or several modules when reassembled
together to form a complete, factory tested,
ready to operate facility. Industrial
manufacturing of the modules means all
parameters are known and the timeline for
delivery of a complete facility is reduced to
6-12 months.
The original design for these modules was
actually for use as off shore drilling
platforms, and thus they resist extremely harsh
conditions. The modules are finished to required
local standards with all process equipment,
machinery and utility systems installed.
Some of our applications are as follows:
The construction is balanced with
standardized procedures in compliance
with the International Standard
Organization (ISO 9001). When the
equipment is installed, the entire plant
is factory tested and certified prior to
delivery. At the final site, the units
are quickly reassembled and docked to a
warehouse building. Commissioning can
start immediately; since the plant has
already been tested and the running-in
time can thus be reduced to a minimum. |
