Modularization and Constructability Analysis of a Heavy Industrial Plant Structure
Modularization as a method of off-site construction provides opportunities to accelerate on-site construction, leverage materials and components with minimal geographical constraints, and optimize labor in areas that experience extreme shortages. This method is widely used in heavy industrial construction, where modules are prefabricated and assembled near urban areas and shipped to remote sites for installation. In the initial planning and design phases of construction (e.g., FEED (Front-End Engineering Design)), design options are often assessed in terms of cost and schedule efficiency to identify optimal solutions for construction. This involves consideration of the level of modularization evaluated against various design criteria. This paper demonstrates implementing a method for preliminary analysis of a heavy industrial plant structure from a modularization and constructability perspective through the comparison of the lifting sequences of two design options in a project-based approach through collaboration between the University of New Brunswick Off-site Construction Research Centre (OCRC) and Malta Inc.
