Heavy industry and manufacturing: the essentials of modular structures

    Many companies in heavy industry and manufacturing work continuously without ever stopping their production processes. They may sometimes have to shut down in order to comply with standards, to make temporary extensions, or to set up a new production line.
    Removable modular buildings enable you to maintain your activity flow during maintenance or building work in your main building.
    The biggest companies in these sectors, such as Aubert & Duval, Saint Gobain, Montabert and Gerflor have placed their trust in Locabri.

    The basics of removable buildings in your business areas

    As experts in your business area, Locabri has identified three main issues concerning your buildings:

    Safety of your activity
    Adaptability to your specific requirements
    Speed of implementation

    Customised installation times and commitment period

    Locabri's storage solutions can be deployed within 15 days. For removable industrial buildings, the lead time is generally around 2 months.
    The duration of your rental contract reflects that of your needs: from a few months to several years.

    Integration of the buildings into my existing facilities

    Our removable modular buildings are customisable, so you can choose heights ranging from 3 to 7 metres and surface areas in multiples of 5 metres. These standard dimensions are of course adaptable to perfectly integrate the building into your site.
    The equipment that will be recommended to you by the project team can be tailored to your needs: from an awning to a fully insulated building, openings for goods, for pedestrians, water retention, heating, etc.
    The aim is for the building to be installed directly on your site, to ensure maximum flexibility and responsiveness within your internal flow management process.

    What are the uses of removable structures?

    During periods of fluctuations in activity, we are often approached to set up storage warehouses to house your packaging and raw materials. This additional space allows you to save space in your manufacturing plants.
    When you carry out maintenance work we can intervene to offset part of the production or storage activity so that there is no break in continuity.
    During your maintenance operations, we intervene either to house the machinery that is being inspected, or to remove all the products that are on the production line to carry out maintenance on the machinery in situ.
    These are the 3 most common uses, but we also construct industrial buildings for installing new production lines.

    Protection of staff and storage

    Our company, Scierie Betemps, has several areas of operation, ranging from joinery wood to packing wood and formwork, to the manufacture of timber frames.
    We initially needed a 200m² structure to protect the staff working outside, and in a second phase we installed another 300m² structure to protect the storage. These modular hangars had been rented for several years when we decided to buy them back.

    Storage of finished products at Aubert & Duval

    We had no available covered space left to store our goods pending shipment. Modular structures were a good alternative for 3 main reasons:
    • reduced cost,
    • flexibility of our spaces and capacities,
    • the possibility of terminating our contract.

    We chose to work with Locabri as they offered a scalable building that corresponded to our specifications.

    Storage of products during building work

    Carbone Savoie had to repair part of the roofing of a Locabri storage building. This had been damaged by a storm in January 2018.
    We also wanted to take advantage of these repairs to renovate the rest of the building. During the works, we had to make sure that our goods were protected, so as not to be damaged by temperature variations [...] The use of a modular structure guaranteed us a quick and inexpensive installation.
