Modular In-Plant Buildings The Applications Are Endless Modular Building Systems
Quality, long-term space solutions to maximizing use of available space Pre-engineered modular construction is flexible enough to satisfy any in-plant building requirement. PortaFab provides value-added solutions to help define space needs, so you get the right product for the right application. Getting the most from your space — that’s what modular construction is all about. Standardize on PortaFab quality The scope of our modular systems offers a quality solution for every in-plant space need.
PortaFab Modular Building Systems Modular construction costs less to build and to own. You can save up to 35% on initial construction costs, including materials and labor. And, since modular units can be assembled quickly, frequently in a matter of hours, you avoid costly disruption of plant activity, as well. You save again if you expand or relocate your modular unit, as you will decrease or eliminate new material purchases.
In-Plant Space Flexibility Standard unit or custom design, our modular systems deliver more value Standard Units The “standard package” is determined by your basic selections of steel or aluminum stud construction, loadbearing or non-loadbearing, wall thickness and size of unit. Standard finish color on all systems is champagne or gray. 5-Day shipping on standard units Our integrated modular systems design and interchangeability of parts enables us to ship 80% of in-plant office orders within 5 days.
Controlled Environment Systems For maximum cleanliness in a controlled environment, PortaFab offers the cost-effective solution Our wall systems interface with floor, ceiling and mechanical components to provide an ultra-clean environment with effective control of particulate, pressure, temperature, and humidity. High-finish panels provide professional appearance. Modular flexibility gives unlimited design and layout options.
