Capability
Modular Connections manufactures high quality precast concrete building systems for utility companies around the country. Factory fabricated buildings are an ideal solution for multiple applications including electrical control buildings, mechanical enclosures, pump houses, and a variety of other specialized buildings. Steel reinforced precast concrete is a strong and durable material with our buildings rated for 150 mph wind loads with optional upgrades to 250mph wind load. Precast concrete buildings are built to last with a life cycle of most structures exceeding 50 years.
Buildings are completely manufactured within our NPCA certified plant and shipped to the customer complete with any electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or other components integrated as desired. When buildings arrive at the customer’s facility they are ready to set onto the customer’s prepared foundation, connect to the necessary utilities, and can be ready for use very quickly. Wall sections are cast with built in lifting brackets, making installation very efficient. If ever needed, the building can be easily relocated.
The size of a building is virtually unlimited. Individual modules range from 8’W x 8’L to 13’8”W x 36’L, but multiple modules can be manufactured for larger square foot requirements. Customers may contact us with a design in mind, or let our experts assist them in creating the perfect modular concept for their specific application. For more information about our modular buildings designed for utility applications, see the table below, or contact us directly.
