SMR STRUCTURES
HW Modular Building System
Stackable Mid-Rise (SMR) Structures, developed as an offshoot of Heritage West Development but now operating as a stand alone entity, is a new method of building construction where pre-engineered, factory produced, structural steel modular units are transported to the building site and craned into place to construct 3 to 8 story buildings. Each modular unit is comprised of various structural steel members that are robotically welded in the factory via an assembly line process similar to that of an automobile manufacturing plant. During assembly, each unit moves through a series of work stations and exits the assembly line complete with exterior and interior walls in place; plumbing, electrical and mechanical equipment roughed in and most interior finishes either in place or packaged ready for final installation in the field. Once complete, SMR modular units are trucked to the building site, lifted into place by crane, secured to each other using high strength slip critical bolts then finished on-site to form 3 to 8 story mid-rise buildings.
Fabrication of SMR units starts concurrently with site work for a specific project. Unlike conventional construction, this parallel process allows for a building's structural components, as well as a substantial portion of a building's interior finish work, to occur at the same time grading, site work and foundations are underway. Through this expedited process, SMR's modular units can be onsite and ready to be craned into place upon the completion of a project’s foundation and site work. This accelerated production process represents a considerable cost and time savings compared to conventional construction methods.
Uses include Residential (condominiums, apartments and single occupancy residences); Commercial (offices, medical suites and hotel rooms); Educational / Institutional (school classrooms, dormitories and hospital rooms); Government / Military (offices, temporary quarters and permanent barracks) and potentially other uses such as multi-story urban infill storage facilities.
