The manufacturing and site preparation activities have begun on Redwater Independent School District’s new 18,348 square foot middle school facility. The new modular school building will employ Ramtech’s Accelerated Building System, a permanent modular construction process which provides for a modular building that utilizes a poured-in-place five inch concrete slab as the building’s structural floor.
The $2.7 million project will provide Redwater ISD with a new state of the art facility featuring 13 standard classrooms, three large instructional spaces with dedicated storage areas, a teachers work/break room, two student restroom groupings, faculty toilets, and a central corridor with 300 lockers. The building will incorporate a full masonry exterior, rigid panel steel roofing, and extensive window glazing. The manufacturing of the 20 module sections will be completed this week, then they will then be shipped to the job site for installation via crane-setting beginning the first week of July. Ramtech expects the design-build construction project to be completed by the middle of September.
Ramtech continued to build on our recent success in the public college and university market by securing a new $1.6 million contract to provide two new modular buildings that will be located on the main campus of the University of Texas at Dallas in Richardson, Texas. UTD will purchase the two 8,736 square foot facilities for $1.6 million and use them as temporary teaching labs in the University’s Bio and Mechanical Engineering Departments. Ramtech will begin installation of both buildings in June, and expects to complete the project by July 15, 2014. (more…)
With the tremendous expansion of oil and gas drilling across the country over the last few years, an enormous opportunity has been created for the use of modular buildings for everything from workforce housing to administrative offices. (more…)
One of the primary advantages of modular construction is the ability to relocate the modular buildings to another location for the same purpose or for some other secondary utilization. (more…)
There has been a decision by the Texas Department of Insurance that directly impacts the use of portable classrooms by school districts in the fourteen counties that make up the coastal bend in south Texas. This decision removes one of the most important aspects for using a portable classroom building, namely its ability to be portable and relocated economically. (more…)
