Three Key Benefits of Modular Construction

Workflows are created by repeating processes and procedures, making it easier to examine and discover potential hazards as well as chances to improve methods and timelines.

FREMONT, CA: Modular construction is a well-established technology in many industries; nevertheless, certain uses and benefits in the refining and petrochemical industries are not always well recognized. When opposed to traditional, stick-built construction, modular refinery construction provides equal standards and much more freedom and flexibility to a project. Reduced equipment capital expenditures and labor expenses, and simplified project timetables are all advantages of modular construction. Here are three benefits of modular construction:

Controlled Environment

One advantage of modular construction is that it allows for more control over temperature and weather variables. A typical construction site is a constantly changing environment, making hazard mitigation a dynamic target. There are numerous options to apply hazard controls in a shop setting, where modular components are frequently constructed.

Another advantage of modularized construction is that weather has a far lower impact on worker safety and project schedules. Weather events and extremes can occur at traditional building sites, increasing risk and delaying operations. Building in a controlled environment keeps work environments consistent and timetables on track.
