New Airport Construction Goes Modular

Modular construction is taking the industrial world by storm with superior, considerably faster and more cost-effective building solutions. Modular development has expanded from its long-established venue of provisional academic structures and health related office spaces to new airport construction and airport expansion projects.

Why use the Modular Process for New Airport Construction?

When airports erect new structures or expand existing ones, there are various things to take into consideration such as security and safety issues and flight schedules, all while avoiding disruption of daily airport business. Modular construction provides airports as well as many other businesses an innovative alternative to on-site construction methods. The modular construction process allows busy airports to remain open and continue in their daily functions with limited site disruption. Modular construction also offers other benefits to airports.

Faster Building Occupancy – New modular construction is faster and can be erected 40 percent faster than traditional construction and meets or exceeds all building codes and standards.

Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly – Modular construction is an inherently greener process and more energy efficient because entire buildings or major components can be reused. Additionally, factory construction results in reduced product waste and less impact on the environment.

Low Maintenance Modular Buildings – Airport buildings can be low maintenance by incorporating some energy efficient fixtures offered with modular construction. Some examples include programmable thermostats for heating and air control, occupancy sensors for lighting and automatic dimming controls.

Permanent and Temporary Options - Airports can use modular construction for permanent or temporary uses. For instance, airports adding a new terminal or undergoing a large renovation project can utilize a temporary modular office building to house displaced workers during the construction or renovation process. Airports can also use modular buildings for administrative offices/complexes, retail shops, employee break rooms or lounges, restroom facilities, ext.

Modular construction offers the flexibility to meet the needs of the industrial world. Modular buildings can be designed to meet the safety concerns of airports including fire alarms and security systems, making it an excellent choice for any airportsconstruction needs.
