New generations of more easily and safely portable Australian-made container-based buildings – including stackable and double-width 4.5m-wide types – are being introduced across Australia by the Modulate Group.

The robust cyclone-rated structures, configured from standard 20ft, 30ft, and 40ft (approx. 6m, 9m, and 12m) container templates, respond to expanding demand for comfortable, functional, and comprehensively fitted out buildings that can be readily moved from site to site as production and construction demands change in fast-moving market sectors.

“With a design life of 25 years under heavy use with low maintenance, these quality buildings can be engineered to cost-effectively meet the repeat-use needs of sectors such as mining, energy, infrastructure, construction, government projects, defence, and water and power utilities,” says Modulate General Manager, Jack Adams.

AUSTRALIAN-MANUFACTURED RELIABILITY

Such major operations – often needing to nimbly shift resources to satisfy changing market demands – typically require a range of building types, instead of one-offs. All must be delivered reliably on time to prevent expensive downtime.

Rather than providing piecemeal answers involving multiple contractors and potential delays each step of the way, Modulate Group has invested in a major 20,000m2, modern production facility in Mayfield, Newcastle, where production and customisation to different needs are handled in-house. The facility is divided into a series of production shed, including zones for assembly, construction, fabrication, painting, and final fit-out, to deliver efficient and high-quality final product.

Benefits of this “under one roof” approach include scrupulous premium quality control, reliability of delivery, engineering to statutory compliance requirements, and top safety and comfort features adapted to individual site needs, says Jack Adams, whose family has decades of experience in the establishment, relocation rehabilitation of major mine, construction and infrastructure sites.

CUSTOMISATION EXPANDS OPTIONS

Major features of Modulate Group buildings that distinguish them from the offerings of ad hoc operation, include:

  • A larger range of dimensions
  • Wider-than-standard floor plans
  • Stackability
  • Quality doors, windows, insulation, air conditioning, electrical, flooring, and roof features are standard
  • Robust portability
  • Twist-lock secure fixing
  • Design life expectancy of 25 years + Structural warranty of 10 years

“Modulate Group set out with a clean sheet of paper to produce flexible ranges of buildings that speak the language of markets focussed on quality, safety, compliance and cost-efficiency” Jack Adams said.

“This approach – many elements of which are patented – has attracted repeat interest from major mining, construction and infrastructure groups that prefer to deal with single-source suppliers who match their own world standards of performance,” he added.
