Modularization offers many advantages over stick building methods such as:

• Lowering the overall project cost by completing work in a shop environment, taking advantage of shop vs. field labour rates and working in a controlled environment
• Lowering the cost of coating, instrumentation, heat tracing, insulation and hydrotesting
• Increasing fabrication quality and productivity, and optimizing the inspection process
• Fabrication, assembly and testing time is reduced dramatically
• Simplifying on-site assembly, resulting in less installation time and less field crews
• Allowing an increased number of simultaneous on-site project activities, which reduces the overall project duration
• Reducing the risk of unpredictable on-site weather conditions which cause weather delays
• Resulting in a smaller on-site footprint, which saves project cost
• Minimizing time for commissioning and start-up, as well as turn-around time for brownfield expansions

Our Project Management, Engineering and Design teams provide a full range of services and have significant expertise in:

• Piperack module design including piping, structural steel, platforms, valves, cable trays and instrumentation
• Equipment modularization including equipment design, module layout and optimization and operational review
• Modularization studies including schedule, cost, complexity, facility location, new installation vs. brownfield, facility congestion/accessibility, and construction strategies
• Transportation and logistics studies including route selection, shipping dimensions and weights

Let Equinox find a fit for purpose approach for your next project.
