H+M Modular Fabrication: The EPFC Approach

Choosing H+M Modular for your process modules, skids or custom fabricated equipment packages means that you get the benefit of a quality module fabricator combined with the know-how of complete project solutions.  

Leveraging decades of experience in EPC, H+M can take your project from concept to commissioning.  Our engineering team can provide Front-End Engineering support for scope definition, equipment selection, and optimal site layout to maximize effectiveness and efficiency of the modular design.  

From engineering to fabrication and assembly, our work is self-performed along the Texas Gulf Coast, meaning we have tighter control over the supply chain and project activities that affect your project.

Partnering with H+M Modular for custom-fabricated equipment, skids, and modules means working with industry experts committed to safety, quality and total project solutions.

H+M Modular Fabrication: The EPFC Approach

During the development phase of your project, our team can help you determine the modular scope, the balance of plant scope, and provide Total Installed Cost estimates for the project. Our in-house engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction teams are integrated early to identify and mitigate challenges to supply chain and constructability issues.  The holistic approach increases your confidence that the appropriate technical and commercial priorities have been addressed in order to increase the probability of a successful project.

After the scope is determined, our execution teams will engineer, procure, and fabricate the project to specification.  Our team is co-located and works collaboratively to ensure the optimum solution. Below are just a few things to expect during standard project phases. 

Front-End Engineering:

  • Process Engineering
  • Equipment Selection
  • Equipment Layout/Location
  • TIC Estimates

Detail Engineering 

  • Detailed equipment, structural, piping, instrumentation, electrical drawings
  • Model reviews 

Procurement

  • Material Planning and Management
  • Inspections and Logistics 
  • Preservation and Storage
  • Site Material Control

Fabrication, Assembly, and Testing:

  • Structural
  • Mechanical
  • Piping
  • Electrical & Instrumentation
  • Coatings & Insulation
  • Factory Acceptance Testing

When to Choose Modular Fabrication

Remote Job Sites

Modular construction should be considered for projects in remote areas. Moving construction to a fabrication facility can help overcome logistical and operational challenges in remote areas.

Supply Chain Risk

Local supply and fabrication decrease the risk of supply chain disruption

Repeatable Units

When several of the same or similar units are to be produced, modular may be a good choice.

Controlled Fabrication

When precision and control over the construction process are required, moving construction to an offsite fabrication shop can provide greater project control while also ensuring higher safety and quality standards.

Labor Shortages

When skilled workers are scarce or expensive, modular construction offers an alternative that makes highly skilled workers more accessible and efficient.

Requirement for Minimal Onsite Labor

The modular approach could be the right choice if a project requires reducing onsite labor.

The Benefits of Modular Fabrication Solutions

Time savings from modular fabrication is one of the most well-known and strategic advantages of modular (or skid-built construction). Performing construction in a controlled environment eliminates common on-site delays caused by weather, scheduling conflicts, lack of workforce, and other unpredictable factors that can interrupt operations. 

With prefabricated modules or skid-mounted process systems, simultaneous progress on multiple fronts becomes possible. The reduced time to completion not only accelerates the return on investment for clients but also allows for quicker utilization of optimized facilities.

Benefits of Modular Solutions

Time Savings

Modular fabrication can shorten project timelines, eliminating common on-site delays. Simultaneous progress on multiple fronts accelerates project completion.

Cost Efficiency

Streamlined processes minimize unnecessary expenses, reducing financial outlays.

Quality Control

Modular solutions are often defined by precision and consistency. Each module must adhere to stringent standards, minimizing risks, errors, and revisions in the field.

Safety Improvement

The controlled environment of working in a fabrication shops improves safety levels. 

Engineering Expertise

A comprehensive approach toward the fabrication of modular process systems requires systematic planning, resulting in efficient and superior construction outcomes.
