Maximizing Value
OUR APPROACH
infraMOD™ analyzes every project to define the critical requirements that maximize value. We continuously invest in our people, systems, work environment, technology, and software to provide our customers with the best service, support, and innovative solutions to meet their requirements.
Our strict attention to cost-effective material selection through our global supply chain, together with our comprehensive inspection process and state-of-the-art automation technology, ensures that we deliver the highest quality projects.
With the breadth of experience infraMOD’s team and our partners hold, we continually deliver a ‘can do,’ ‘solutions-based’ approach, where no project is too difficult and there is always a solution to every challenge. Contact us today to learn the innovative approach we will take to solve your project challenge(s) and deliver a cost-effective solution.
Our proprietary infraMOD™ methodology represents the evolution of our proven “How We Do It” philosophy applied specifically to modular infrastructure solutions. We analyze every temporary works project through our infraMOD™ lens to identify opportunities where modular solutions can maximize value while minimizing traditional constraints.
design / engineering
Traditional competitive bidding for infrastructure projects often leads to inefficient, expensive designs. infraMOD methodology prioritizes upfront design, leveraging expert engineers and automated processes to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective fabrication and installation. This approach significantly reduces total installed costs, minimizes project risk, and shortens timelines.
global supply chain
infraMOD has key partnerships in place with major international steel mills in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. We select the best mill for the project based on the project schedule and requirements. This allows us to meet project sustainability and schedule requirements at the lowest cost.
Optimized Fabrication
To ensure that we create the best recipe for each project, infraMOD creates a design that takes advantage of our automated/robotic capabilities, as well as our international mill/fabrication partners. All work is fully compliant with project requirements and any work fabricated outside Canada is 100% backstopped by our Canadian fabrication operation.
Logistics management
Typically, large-scale infrastructure projects occur in congested urban areas with limited space. infraMOD manages the overall logistics process to ensure that the work is prepared well ahead of when it is required on site. It is staged offsite at one of our fabrication locations or local yards and then delivered to the project jobsite for just-in-time delivery.
INSTALLATION EFFICIENCY
The installation process is designed for maximum efficiency, ensuring accurate fit-up during on-site assembly. Modular systems can be trial assembled in the shop prior to delivery, and bolted connections are used wherever possible to minimize the need for specialized labor and equipment. This approach accelerates project timelines, simplifies installation, reduces on-site resource demands, and mitigates risks, resulting in substantial savings of time, effort, and costs.
constructability
infraMOD approaches constructability as a risk-management & productivity discipline. When designing the constructability of temporary steel, our team focuses on whether the system can be safely erected, used, adjusted, and removed within real site constraints. Those include the
- Temporary steel’s purpose and load demands during all construction stages
- Feasibility of erection sequencing with available cranes, access, and shipping limits
- Compatibility with construction equipment and temporary foundations
- Practicality of field connections and the need for adjustability to manage tolerances
- Worker safety, redundancy, and stability during partial installation or removal.
