For many of Canada’s most essential industries— such as oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, and hydrogen extraction— constructing worksites is both costly and labour intensive. It’s not as though such facilities can be popped into the downtown core of a metropolitan area, with close access to workers, supplies, building materials, and other essentials. By necessity of their intent and purpose, these facilities are often in remote and barely developed rural regions of Canada.
Constructing these worksites is often costly, dangerous, and labour-intensive. Harsh climates, remote locations, lack of local infrastructure, and strict safety regulations all make traditional construction challenging. However, electric modular construction from Mastadon Controls offers a faster, more straightforward, and cost-effective solution. Here’s how:
How Electrical Modular Construction Saves Time and Money
Whether your company has recently acquired rights for a new mining operation, surveyed a new pipeline location, or found a pocket of hydrogen for extraction, a lot of work goes into setting up these facilities. In addition to the necessary buildings for extraction, refinement, compression, and more, these sites often need housing and cafeterias for staff, auxiliary services like medical or laundry facilities, and utility structures for providing heat and water to the entire site.
Choosing electrical modular construction can significantly reduce project costs and timelines compared to traditional construction, especially regarding the cost of building high-performance industrial structures that refine or compress energy. For these large-scale and tenured projects, fabricating and building plants, housing, and more than shipping them to remote camp sites saves time, money, and effort. Here’s how Mastadon Controls ensures efficiency:
- Expert Craftsmanship—Mastadon provides high-quality modular construction for any size and scope of building necessary for a safe, successful job site. Upon the arrival of your modular units, Mastadon provides top-tier electrical services from its expert staff to guarantee that all connections, control panels, and more are installed by experienced professionals who care about completing your project on time and within budget.
- Quality Assurance and Compliance—Each modular building constructed undergoes rigorous QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control) testing before deployment to your site. Once initial construction has been completed on the modular units, Mastadon’s field industrial electrical specialists follow strict Inspection Test Plans (ITPs) to ensure all wiring, conduits, trays, devices, and transformers meet the highest industry standards.
- Comprehensive Testing—Each final structure undergoes point-to-point electrical testing, megger testing, and full compliance inspections to certify that it meets all regulatory requirements. Upon completion, Mastadon provides a QA/QC booklet confirming that all electrical work in each modular unit meets or exceeds Canadian safety standards.
Where Electrical Modular Construction Delivers the Most Value
Electrical modular construction is especially beneficial for remote industrial electrical projects, where traditional construction methods can be logistically challenging and expensive. Some key sectors that benefit from this approach include new or expanding oil and gas installations, CO2 and hydrogen plants, mining operations, and many other industrial facilities in rural locations.
Mastodon’s in-house fabrication ensures our modular buildings are built to exact specifications for each project and facility before they’re shipped to their final location on your site. Once these rough prefab units have been delivered, our team will be deployed to complete any necessary on-site construction, ensuring they’re fully functional and compliant with all industrial standards.
What Mastadon Brings to Electrical Modular Construction
With nearly 15 years of experience in the field, Mastadon Controls specializes in providing cutting-edge modular prefabrication buildings tailored to any sector’s facility needs, finished off with top-calibre industrial electrical services to guarantee that every aspect of your future site is safe and reliable for years to come. Our expertise allows us to design, construct, and ship entire modular buildings, ranging from small structures of three or four units to large-scale projects with twenty interconnected buildings, for a fraction of the cost of a protracted on-site build.
Our modular buildings are more than just steel and concrete, though; Mastadon secures every essential utility, including electrical and plumbing, prior to seamlessly installing and integrating every wire, control panel, conduit, tray, device, transformer, and more that you could possibly need on your job site. This full-service approach means your team doesn’t need to juggle multiple contractors or try to align project benchmarks— Mastadon handles everything from initial planning to final installation. And that’s the most valuable asset of all: convenience.
