Modularization and preassembly are construction techniques in which all or part of sections or facilities are prefabricated or assembled in one location and then transported to the site. The term modularization as used in this Executive Insight is intended to encompass a wide range, from preassembly to full modularization of significant systems, structures, and components. This Executive Insight compliments the Executive Insight on Modularization.  \nModularization  \nModules are generally structures in excess of 1,000 tons (may be smaller) with physical dimensions outside conventional highway transportation envelopes. They incorporate significant high-value labor hours and are typically multi-trade. Later generation modules include all structural components, including integration/elimination of pipe racks. Piping is maximized, including small bore piping, required insulation, electrical tray runs and terminations, instrumentation and controls, and other equipment. Bracing to handle shipment related loads is often included as part of the final structural design.  \nPreassembly  \nPreassemblies are typically in a 50-to 600-ton range. Preassemblies are usually structural and generally exclude major electrical, mechanical, or process equipment. Pipe racks and cable trays may be included. Structural components included normally encompass all such components, including major structural members, plate, ducting, and decking (excluding site poured concrete) . Handrails, ladders, and permanent platforms are included to enable site installations.  \nThe Modularization Design Process  \nThe modularization design process begins with a client approval to utilize modularization for the procurement and delivery of a project or significant, specific elements of a project. Typically this approval is based on the outcomes of a series of modularization studies, including:  \n• Logistical constraints study  \n• Module yard capability and capacity study  \n• Module readiness study  \n• Engineering organization requirements study  \nIn engineering organizations or project teams new to the use of modularization, an initial kickoff orientsthe team to what modularization is, what is possible, and importantly the underlying engineer-procureconstruct (EPC) philosophy for its use. This orientation session includes exposing the engineering team to photos and videos of prior module examples, highlighting fabrication in the mod yard, long haul transport by rail, barge or ship, transport by SPMT (self-propelled modular transporter) and final placement. The potential scope and extent of modularization on the project is outlined.  \nAs the team be","cbCaiheuq50NEo2I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiheuq50NEo2I","pdf",312498,12,"English","# Modularization Design\n## Modularization\n## Preassembly\n## The Modularization Design Process\n## Modularization Engineering Lessons Learned","[{\"question\":\"What is the role of client approval in the modularization design process?\",\"answer\":\"The process begins with client approval to use modularization for procurement and delivery, typically based on the results of modularization studies such as logistical constraints and module yard capability.\"},{\"question\":\"How do modules differ from preassemblies?\",\"answer\":\"Modules are generally large structures (over 1,000 tons, possibly smaller) with dimensions outside normal highway envelopes and include significant multi-trade structural and high-value labor content.
