Modularization
2
Aim of Modularization?
■ Maximum Shop work
- Better workmanship and monitoring
- Controlled & congenial work environment
- Parallel construction
(more than one module which will be finally seated one above other can be shop assembled
in parallel)
3
Terminology –
■ Module
- Part of structure assembled in Module yard
- Volume as per Logistics requirement
- Including Piping, Equipment, Lighting fittings, Cable tray (without cables)
- Transportation by Trailer
- Lifting & Placing by Crane
■ Skid
- Single Tier Module supported on Beam; NO column below tier level
- Rest similar to Module
■ Stick Built
- Ship loose items which are NOT part of Module
- Attached to main structure at site or at Super module yard
■ Super Module
- Total structure assembled in Super module yard
- Including Module & Stick-built
- Assembly on Temporary Foundation or Directly on Trailer
- No volume limit
- Transportation by Trailer
- Placing over foundation at site by lowering down Trailer Bed
- Scaffolding arrangement need not to move from structure to structure for Stick
Built erection
- Heavy Cranes not required at Site for Module erection

Lifting Arrangement – ➢ Lifting from All Column Points
(See Details – 1 to 3)
➢ All Lifting Points are at same level
➢ Without using Lifting Frame
➢ Without using Lifting Lugs

➢ Lifting from All Column Points
➢ All Lifting Points are at same level
➢ Using Lifting Frame
➢ Using Lifting Lugs (See Detail – 4)
In case of Lifting Lug, Module Height should be
calculated including lifting lug. Normal practice is
to fit the lifting lug at Module Yard and remove
after final Lift. Reasons are as follows:
a. Connecting bolts are torque tightened
b. Removal of bolts is NOT very easy
c. Once removed reuse of bolts is NOT permitted

2) The Module weight has to be maintained as per the limiting Capacity of the Lifting
and Rigger Contractor.
3) The COG is the key factor while performing Lifting/ Transportation of the Modules.
This may leads to uneven distribution of loads carrying by slings which finally may
results in failure.
4) The angle of a rigging strap/ cable attachment in relation to the lifting point greatly
effects the vertical and horizontal forces placed on the anchor attachments as well
as the forces in the strap/cable.
6) The Choice of the SHACKLE’s has to be finalized in the beginning and the same to
be followed during the Lifting Lugs/Hole designs.
