Off-Site Construction
What’s Really Cutting Edge in Construction?
If you’ve attended a construction conference or trade show recently you’ve likely heard presentations about Virtual Design & Construction (VDC). From enhanced design software and virtual walkthroughs to augmented-reality goggles that visualize finished structures in place, technology is optimizing processes at all stages of construction. VDC is not limited to work in the field. At
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.
Bake Off-Site Construction into Your Process
If you only start considering off-site construction (OSC) once your project design is complete, or when reviewing bids for your project, you are missing out on some of the key advantages that OSC can bring to the process. While OSC isn’t right for every project, teams that start the process with OSC as an option
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
The Epsilon Approach: Turnkey Installation; Managing the Process
This is the third in a series of articles that provides insight into the Epsilon approach and why we do what we do: the design, fabrication, assembly and installation of Off-Site Constructed (OSC) central utility systems. With more than 20 years of proven experience designing and manufacturing complex mechanical systems, we’ve developed a core approach
NYU Lutheran Chiller Plant Install
Courtesy of our project partners at HTS New York, here’s a time-lapse video of an Epsilon prefabricated chiller plant going from from paper to reality – this is how HTS New York did it as a team, and across teams! Epsilon is pleased to be part of this great project!

Project announcement: Modular Central Utility Plant for Automotive Manufacturer
Epsilon is pleased to announce it is providing a chilled water plant that will deliver seasonal cooling for a major automotive manufacturer’s production plant in the Central U.S. This fully-integrated, offsite-constructed system will provide 7,500 tons of chilled water from five Trane centrifugal chillers, and includes a full substation to feed all equipment to this
The Epsilon Approach: Vendor Agnosticity
This is the first in a series of articles that will provide a bit more insight into the Epsilon approach and why we do what we do: the design, fabrication, assembly and installation of Off Site Constructed central utility systems. With more than 20 years of proven experience designing and manufacturing these central utility systems,
