Prefabrication

Why Choose

Prefabrication?

Prefabrication combined with virtual design and construction, and a dedicated supply chain management group, we pave the way for building more efficient and predictable projects for our customers. Our expert builders collaborate with the entire team early to identify design requirements and look for opportunities for improvement, identify value-adding prefabrication opportunities, set an accurate budget, build it virtually first to identify issues and ensure the right workflow, pre-order materials that have cost or lead time issues before the work begins, get started faster in the field and, ultimately, execute the work flawlessly.

Modular Electrical Rooms

The engineered-to-order prefabricated electrical room includes floor, walls, interior finishes, interconnections, and internal wiring, and can range in size from an electrical closet to a main electrical room. Prefabricating these electrical rooms allows us to build in a controlled environment, providing cost and quality control.

The modular room moves a critical schedule milestone offsite, increasing quality and cost certainty while saving on manpower from harder-to-find skilled trades.

Main Electrical Room

 Skid mount walls available with or without ceiling

The main electrical room is a larger skid-mounted module; this version is built with integral fire-rated walls.

This incorporates the architectural fire-rated wall into the prefab module, eliminating the need for double walls or alteration of the architectural layout.

The benefit of the open-framed ceiling is that the existing design of lighting, fire protection, and mechanical can remain the same as the stick-frame. Alternatively, a walkable fire-rated ceiling can be included to deliver a stand-alone room reducing the work needed to finish the space after delivery.

The unit is insulated on site, with exterior sheathing being applied after the module is set.

Features

  • 16' maximum width, 14' is preferred (shipping splits can be implemented for wider applications).
  • 48' maximum length (longer lengths can be accommodated)
  • 11' maximum height (taller heights can be accommodated)
  • Equipment is interconnected, tested, and terminated
  • Fire-rated structure

Main Electrical Skid

Skid Mounted

Main electrical skid mounted modules are optimal when placed in a larger electrical room. This version has no walls or ceilings and would be installed adjacent to building walls.

This allows all equipment to be set, interconnected, tested, and installed as one piece.

Skids without electrical equipment islands (equipment in the middle of the room) can be built on 6" platforms allowing the opportunity to be surface set with a single step-up to the platform.

  • 48' maximum length (longer lengths can be accommodated)
  • 11' maximum height (taller heights can be accommodated)
  • Equipment is interconnected, tested, and terminated
  • Does not impact other MEP trades

Sub Electrical Room

Lighter module with rated ceiling

The sub electrical room module typically uses lighter framing to be cost neutral to stick-frame installation. A rated ceiling is included to have less work in or around the room after the installation.

This design can be built with a floor or a floor-less version can be provided. The floor-less option is direct set on the slab structure reducing coordination with the building structure.

The unit is insulated on site with exterior sheathing being applied after the module is set.

Features

  • 16' maximum width, 14' is preferred (shipping splits can be implemented for wider applications).
  • 24' maximum length (longer lengths can be accommodated)
  • 11' maximum height (taller heights can be accommodated)
  • Equipment is interconnected, tested, and terminated
  • Fire rated structure
  • Moves additional MEP scope to the off-site scope

Remote Electrical Room

Stand alone exterior electrical room

The remote electrical room is a modular solution to move the electrical gear exterior of the main buildings. This frees up floor space in often high-dollar spaces. Additionally, an exterior modular room allows for quick and easy upgrades to future electrical infrastructure without extended major impact to buildings.

The module is stand-alone and would include mechanical, fire protection, and lighting systems.

The exterior look of these modules can be customized to match the finish of the surrounding buildings.

Modules can also include medium voltage equipment for electrical distribution.
