1.) Shorter Schedules - Building a process unit in a
shop, with a well controlled fabrication sequence, can save months
when compared to building outside in a plant environment where
work is subject to weather related delays, work permits, work
stoppages, waiting for cranes, etc. FACT - KMPS just shipped a
complete 316SS solvent recovery system for a custom
pharmaceuticals manufacturer in 12 weeks!! (from PO, through all
design engineering and fabrication)
2.) Lower Cost/Lump Sum Bid - KMPS has made a science
out of studying fabrication efficiencies and construction
sequences in our module shops. Typically a 25% reduction in cost
can be realized with modular construction when compared to field
construction. Prices quoted for modular construction are also
firm/lump sum prices.
3.) Construction Proceeds While Waiting for Permits -
Offsite construction of entire process units in our module shop
can proceed while permits are in-process. This can be a
significant time saver because permits often take months to obtain
and field construction can't begin until the permit is in hand.
4.) Minimal Plant Site Interruption - In the case where
a new process unit is built alongside of an existing operating
chemical manufacturing unit, there are many hazards and safety
risks associated with the field construction activities. Ask
yourself this QUESTION - "Do I want dozens of contract
construction workers walking around in my chemical plant?" If
the answer to this question is no, then modular construction
(off-site) makes a lot of sense. It minimizes the potential
hazards and production interruptions that can occur.
5.) Single Source Responsibility - Is your project
manager/project organization stretched to the limit? Building your
process unit in our module shop will unload your project team
because you will place only ONE purchase order. Our project team
will do the rest.
