Abstract
Modularization in the process industry is a new, but rapidly developing concept. It takes advantage of established steel fabrication and assembly shops and consequently facilitates maximum labor efficiency. When the module is built, it must be transported and placed into position at its final destination on site. This paper describes the importance of accurate weight and center of gravity control and measurement when modularization is applied. Also the need is demonstrated for the weight engineer to be fully integrated into the project to enable him to make valuable input at all stages of development and construction.
