Lean Construction
Minimizing Waste through Off-Site Construction
Somewhere between 25 and 40 percent of landfill mass comes from construction waste. That’s probably not surprising to anyone in the construction industry. However, what’s often overlooked is the close connection between construction-generated physical waste and the upstream digital waste. Digital waste is an unintended consequence of the traditional design process, where a number of
What Does OSC Have to do With Ramping Up North American Manufacturing?
A recurring theme in the industrial construction space – not to mention recent headline news – is the demand for increased manufacturing capacity in North America. Often referred to as “on-shoring” or “near-shoring”, companies are looking to shift production of critical components like batteries, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals from overseas to the US, Canada and Mexico.
Three Ways Off-Site Construction Helps Achieve Lean Construction Goals
At a high level, the goal of Lean Construction is to minimize waste, time and effort in order to maximize value to the customer. There are many processes and strategies that can be implemented to help achieve this goal, impacting every facet of the built environment and building process. So many tools, in fact, that
Super Skids Offer Modular Construction Options
One growing segment of the modular construction business is the “Super Skid” – a dozen or more modular skids that are designed to fit into a traditional field-built structure. Once installed, they become a single contiguous mechanical room, complete with all equipment and ancillary systems. Pictured here is a small portion of one “Super Skid”
