Modubuild rose to the challenge to successfully deliver complex multi-million euro Vaccine Facility in record breaking time despite Covid Challenges.
Modubuild, the Kilkenny headquartered high tech modular construction company with operations and offices across multiple European countries has received a prestigious award having designed and constructed a multi million euro, turnkey vaccine facility for Global Biopharma Company Wuxi Vaccines in less than half the time that projects of this nature normally take. The project won the award for “Large Project of the Year” at the Pharma Industry Awards 2020 which took place virtually in December.
Modubuilds team designed and constructed the entire Vaccine facility in their Castlecomer factory at the same time that the planning application and site preparations were taking place at the client’s site. Mechanical, electrical and process systems as well as internal architectural fit-out was fully complete in Modubuild’s factory, which meant the building was ready to roll out soon as the site foundations were ready. Modubuild transported the building to site in large Modules and re-assembled the entire two story building at the clients site in nine days leaving the facility ready for utility connections, hookups and commissioning.
