3 PRESENTATION TOPICS & OVERVIEWS |
|
JUNE 10 Topic:
Modular Thinking
Presenter: Paul E. Kassabian, PE, Principal | Simpson Gumpertz & Heger
|
|
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
The increased development of modular construction requires us to improve our modular thinking and contend with new questions. When people that have not asked the right questions, or come up with the wrong answers, they’ve had to close their modular doors.
The key questions are: What are we standardizing and what is variable? Is the object the module or should we be standardizing the interface? Is modularity only for physical items or can it be information-based in our industry? These are strategic questions that take place at all levels of scale, and getting them right can create new and exciting opportunities!

JUNE 17 Topic:
Modular Structural Systems on Both Coasts
Presenter: David Farnsworth, Principal, Tall Buildings Business Leader | ARUP
|
|
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
This presentation will present the challenges and strategies employed to successfully deliver volumetric modular construction in a range of scenarios and environments.
It will examine the impact of height, wind and seismic requirements on the design of a number of modular projects on the east and west coasts.
|
|
JUNE 24 Topic:
Leading-edge Technologies in Modular
& Industrialized Construction
Presenter: Amr Raafat, VP of VDC & Technology | Windover Construction
|
|
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
This presentation will dive into leading-edge technologies that support modular and offsite construction. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the latest modular and digital prefabrication process and how optimized BIM, laser scanning and drone mapping can support certainty of outcome and ensure project efficiencies, high quality execution and safety throughout construction.
Case studies will include multiple project types and applications to highlight how practical use of technology can support projects from preconstruction through completion and beyond.
