The use of modular construction is the best option when commercial projects are located in remote or rural areas, particularly where specialized construction trades are scare or non-existent.
At Ramtech, we’ve been a leader in developing a design-build construction approach that has allowed us to leverage our internal and external resources to successfully complete temporary and permanent modular building projects in some of the most challenging and hard to reach areas. Using a traditional relocatable or permanent modular construction approach – where up to 80-90% of the structure can be completed in the manufacturing plant – gives modular construction a significant advantage over site construction alternatives. This article about two modular medical clinics installed in the remote Western Australian Desert to serve four indigenous communities, provides an extreme example of what can be done using modular construction to develop and build critical facilities in very distant and remote areas.
