Past event: Modular Construction and Prefabrication Summit for Mining

Preparing for the Industry Rebound through Targeted Design & Build

At our Inaugural Modular Construction for Mining Summit – we explored the necessities to developing a successful modular build-out, the concerns and challenges you will assuredly face, and how to overcome many of those challenges. We examined who you should be working with and what to expect – as well as some presentations from the Oil Sands industry in order to provide the Mining industry with some perspective on what is achievable through Modular Construction.

Our 2nd Annual Modular Construction Summit will provide additional perspective to the challenges facing Mining Companies today. With the decrease in commodity prices, the mothballing of new mine operations, and the renewed focus on cost savings; the time has NEVER BEEN BETTER to get to know Modular.

By preparing NOW, you can ensure that you, and your organization, are ready to immediately begin your construction initiatives when the industry rebounds. Learn about issues such as 3D Modelling, Logistical, Transportation & Installation challenges, Risk Planning, Scheduling, Contracts, Skilled Labour demographics, and much more!

Modular construction is currently under-used in the mining industry and stands to be a game changer for new mines, legacy mines, remote mines, and others looking to offset costs and reduce their dependence on local communities. By examining how other Mining companies have implemented this construction method, how EPC’s are working with mining companies to craft deliberate and adapted modules and strategies, and what Fabricators are doing to drive quality  - the Modular Construction Summit will offer you not only perspective; but understanding.
