Modular construction
McAbee Construction has transformed heavy industrial concepts into modularized assemblies for more than 40 years, especially on large-scale capital projects at many of its industrial maintenance sites. It has decades of experience providing industry with workable, modular execution strategies that compress construction schedules and expedite site preparations and foundation construction while the process modules are being fabricated offsite. McAbee Construction produces modular process units where many disciplines can be incorporated into a modular project, including but not limited to mechanical assembly, heat tracing, insulation and electrical/ instrumentation.
Modular advantage
There are many advantages of modular construction, including increased productivity, shorter project schedules, lower costs, higher-quality work and a much safer work/ construction environment. This innovative execution strategy delivers constructability reviews using 3-D modeling techniques along with maintenance and operability studies prior to installation in the plant, minimized plant burdens with respect to process and construction safety, maximized opportunity for process review and schedule compression, process portability, minimized on-site real estate requirements, upgraded quality due to the shop environment as opposed to on-site construction, and function verification prior to on-site installation.
