MODUS was founded on the premise of developing a €œhigh performance€? modular solution for demanding environments.
Through continued development of our relationships with our customer, employees and suppliers we will establish brand recognition in the Western Canadian, North American and International markets, offering single source solutions to the energy, telecommunication, commercial/industrial industries and all levels of government agencies.
To become the industry benchmark through continued focus on durability, energy efficiency, enhanced health and safety to all applications and the provision of a best-in-class service.
MODUS manufactures high quality modular structures in wholly owned Canadian facilities located in: Airdrie, AB 130,000 square feet
Crossfield, AB 320,000 square feet
Swift Current, SK 100,000 square feet
The MODUS €œNext Generation€? Modular is based on eight mutually dependent design goals, to achieve a new and superior modular building that is adaptable across many applications and industries. These design goals include:  
Maximum Occupant Health
Maximum Occupant Comfort
Minimal Operating Costs
Minimal Maintenance Costs
Minimal Capital/Life-cycle Costs
Environmentally Friendly
Versatility
Re-locatability
MODUS has incorporated several innovative design elements in its standard €œNext Generation€? Modulars. These elements include:  
Structural Insulated Panel (SIP)
Vertical Metal Channel
Structural Sub-Frame
Standard Unit Width
Sustainable Design Elements for (LEED Compliance)
The most important element is the use of the Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), to assemble the roof, walls and floor system. SIPs are a high performance composite building material consisting of a sandwich of two layers of 26-gauge steel with an insulating layer of rigid foam Expanded Polystyrene (EPS).
VERTICAL METAL CHANNEL
A further innovation to the SIP system is the insertion of a vertical metal channel within the walls. This provides additional structural strength to the envelope, a location for electrical wiring and outlets and a spacing for air return ducts providing improved conditioned air distribution throughout the building structure.
The SIP with the integration of the vertical metal channel allows for a structurally sound, thermally efficient and air-tight wall system, standard to all MODUS €œNext Generation€? Modulars. Below is a diagrammatic typical wall section: The MODUS €œNext Generation€? Modular utilizes CWB Certified personnel and processes to produce a welded steel structural frame under the entire building. This application is to prevent building flex during transport, and to facilitate the loading and placement of all building types.
  
UNIT WIDTHS
The construction of the building has a typical single width of up to 24€™, without a field joint down the center. Under traditional modular construction methods, this joint is prone to movement and further infiltration of uncontrolled air and moisture.
Maximum Occupant Health
Efficient - customized ventilation; Mold and vermin resistant envelope; No VOC off-gassing.
Maximum Occupant Comfort
Thermally efficient envelope; Envelope is resistant to air leakage and infiltration; Environmental controls are responsive and efficient; Premium envelope moisture protection; Rooms are spacious and well proportioned; High STC ratings achieved in the envelope.
Minimal Operating Costs
Envelope minimizes standard HVAC requirements; Exceeds typical True R-Factors by a minimum of 30%: Walls: R28, Floor: R37, Roof: R68; Thermal transfer is minimized; Energy costs reduced.
 
Minimal Maintenance Costs
Envelope offers high level of resistance to the envelope against normal wear and vandalism; Reduced damage during transportation and settlement on site; Best service life of any roof system typically used within the modular construction industry.
Minimal Capital/Life-Cycle Costs
Minimal repair costs; High performance through: Double layer sub floor system with cross-hatch installation up to 1€? thick T - G plywood providing structural support and ensuring minimal movement - damage; Durable wall panels; Lowest life-cycle costs of the roof system; Utilizes products that do not deteriorate over time.
Environmentally Friendly
Reduced Embodied Energy, process and post process emissions: 39% less with EPS than that of fiberglass batt; Emissions during useful life: EPS is made up of 95% air and the blowing agent does not remain with the material: EPS is completely inert and does not produce or emit gases of any kind; Life cycle estimates: major component materials used have lifecycle ranges from fifty to sixty years; Recyclable materials: EPS can be recycled back into styrene pellets that can be used again in the manufacturing process of new EPS.
Versatility
Architectural: offer wide range of interior and exterior finishes; Project customization, Fabrication, Management, Services including multi-storey, shipping to site and installation; construction management services.
 
Re-locatability
Unit is built on a heavy duty steel skid; SIP system provides rigid envelope to sustain multiple relocations with little or no damage.
MODUS determined early on that these €œNext Generation€? Modulars should follow a fabrication philosophy that builds on the revolutionary design approach. These philosophies include:  
Manufacture units in an environmentally controlled factory setting
Be responsive to client suggestions and needs
Employ efficient construction techniques
Manufacture units in an environmentally controlled factory setting affords many advantages in maintaining building quality and efficiency: 
Protection of uninstalled materials and equipment from dirt, moisture and freezing
Protection of partially completed envelopes from moisture, dirt entrapment, vandalism and pest intrusion
The ability to apply sealants, adhesives and finish materials in proper ambient conditions
Reduction of delays in fabrication from inclement weather
Greater worker comfort and safety resulting in higher quality workmanship and greater attention to detail
Increased organization and distribution of materials and equipment resulting in efficient and complete building delivery
More systematic assembly and inspection methods using documented €œbest practices€?, resulting in higher quality buildings
MODUS design and fabrication teams welcome the opportunity to work with clients, and receive their suggestions during all phases of building construction
A production-line assembly environment that provides a high out-put rate of units
Close inspection of building quality and the ability to install and test electronic equipment by the client prior to shipping - saving time and expensive field labor
High energy-efficient construction techniques that result in significantly reduced operating costs for the client. These same construction techniques provide superior strength over conventional construction so that transported buildings maintain their integrity and efficiency
Complete in-house design, engineering, and fabrication including electrical and mechanical services
Substantially reduced project completion with site work and building construction happening simultaneously
Reduced on-site trades time and travel
Built under parts 3 and 9 of the National Building Code
