Abstract
This weight management paper will become a chapter in a larger document on Onshore modular construction that is being put together by the Process Industries Practices (PIP) Civil, Structures, and Architectural (CSA) Task Team #3 committee. This committee is composed of various engineering construction companies, logistics companies, and owner operator companies. This weight management chapter has been largely authored by myself with inputs and discussions with various PIP committee members and Fluor colleagues. (see the Acknowledgement section at the end of the paper for a full listing of the committee membership and Fluor colleagues)
Weight Management is a critical aspect of On-Shore Modular Construction. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on weight management activities as related to various types of on- shore modular projects. This type of construction requires that the modules be transported from the fabrication yard to the project site. The fabrication yard may be located relatively close to the project site requiring only land transportation or it may be located very distant requiring land and ocean transportation.
