Heavy Metal Industry
Forus's Modularization Expertise
Client business drivers supporting module design include:
- Extensive Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) desired
- High density piping areas
- High module potential / repeatable facility construction
- Limited availability of regional skilled labor/ imported construction labor/ worker housing
- Remote site access
- Schedule-driven improvement
- Severe site weather constraints
Forus's experienced project teams assist clients in determining where and when to go modular. Our experts help clients assess their particular project design and circumstances and evaluate the merits of a modular construction strategy.
Forus designs and builds modules based on project size requirements and logistics:
- Barge/ship mounted modules
- Hybrid modules – Partially completed in a fabrication yard, then finished and assembled on site
- Intermediate/medium modules – Modules weighing 60 to 100 tons
- Large modules – Transported by sea, the size and weight of large modules are limited only by available shipping and handling equipment and jobsite access
- Pipe rack modules - Modularization of interconnecting pipe racks in all process facilities
- Skid-mounted equipment modules – Mounting a number of separate equipment components on a common base
- Small/truckable modules – Modules that are complete elements of a plant and transported by either rail or truck.
Clients gain cost and schedule advantages from Forus's global supply chain and construction resources. Forus operates self-perform fabrication yards to support modular engineering and construction solutions.
Forus offers modular construction solutions for multiple industries.
