Factory Production
The modular system is manufactured from Light Gauge Steel and/or hot rolled steel structural components to form a steel framed volumetric module. The system can be supplied with varying degrees of finishing; however, the intention is to supply the system modules to as high a level of finish as possible. The system has been developed as an offsite modular product to service both the domestic housing market and multi storey buildings up to 10 stories in height.
The build system has achieved NSAI Agrément certification and the factory production control system achieved an EN1090-1:2009 certification. These industry leading quality standards form the solid foundations from which MHI modules are designed and manufactured for the end user.
The offsite phase even extends to fully mechanically and electrically serviced units rendered with bathrooms and ensuites tiled and kitchens installed as required. Each module is fully snagged and thoroughly cleaned before it is shrink-wrapped and sealed and ready for delivery.
Loading
Modules are labelled with data identifiers for part, unit type, end site location and other data that can be scanned by both MHI and the end client.
They are then carefully loaded onto transportation units through a high-precision moving and craning process, ready for distribution.
Distribution
Modules are transported using a specialist distribution partner, who arranges permits or escorts from the factory to the development site.
Modular Installation
Modules are connected on-site using specialist lifting mechanisms. Two full residential units, including sealed roofs, can be installed and connected in just one day. This means that just 20% of the construction needs to happen on site.
Handover of modules
The completed job offers the end customer a much superior quality dwelling by utilising quality assured standards within a factory environment that can be seen in the completed house.
