Project Overview
At Ecoshrink, we specialise in delivering cutting-edge shrink wrap solutions that protect high-value modular assets during transport, storage, and installation. Our recent project at the Halsbrook Development in Greenwich demonstrates our commitment to using best-in-class modular building covers that guarantee safe transit and maximum protection. Elkins Construction, a leading developer of modular homes, required a robust shrink wrap solution to ensure their valuable units would remain unscathed while en route to the site. By tailoring our services to their specific needs, we successfully safeguarded 30 modular homes in just four days.
Challenge
Elkins Construction was in the process of transporting dozens of modular homes—also referred to as “pods”—to their Halsbrook Development. These modular units needed to be shipped safely and efficiently, without incurring any damage from poor weather conditions, dirt, or debris. Transporting modular buildings safely is a complex undertaking; the products are highly valuable, and even minor damage can lead to significant repair costs or project delays. With strong winds, rain, and potential road hazards to contend with, Elkins Construction needed an expert solution that focused on secure modular building transit protection.
Additionally, the project timeline required our team to quickly wrap 30 modules, ensuring no loss of time or momentum for the overall development schedule. The team at Ecoshrink was tasked with selecting materials and methods capable of enduring harsh travel conditions while meeting the high-quality standards mandated by Elkins Construction.
Benefits of Shrink Wrap for Modular Buildings
Our experienced team at Ecoshrink proposed a comprehensive shrink wrap for modular buildings—a proven method we have used in numerous construction projects. We began by conducting a thorough assessment of each unit’s dimensions and potential risks during shipment. Using heavy-duty and durable modular building covers, we created a fully sealed environment around the modules, offering complete modular storage protection throughout transit.
Each wrap was custom-fitted to the module’s shape, ensuring a snug, weatherproof encapsulation. This approach formed a robust and flexible shield capable of withstanding strong winds, rain, and airborne debris. By shrink wrapping modular units with heat-sealed joints, we effectively eliminated any gaps that could compromise the structural integrity of the protective covers for modular buildings. The end result was a perfectly tailored, long-lasting solution that aligned with Elkins Construction’s requirements for quality and reliability.
Key Project Outcomes
Quick Turnaround: Our team successfully wrapped all 30 modular units within just four days, aligning with the construction schedule and preventing any costly delays.
Enhanced Protection: By implementing custom-fitted modular transportation protection, we minimised exposure to adverse weather conditions and road debris. Each module arrived on-site intact and free from damage.
Cost Efficiency: Reducing the risk of repairs or rework due to travel-related harm helped Elkins Construction save both time and money. This efficiency also contributed to maintaining a high level of client satisfaction throughout the project.
Scalable Solution: Our method can be easily applied to similar projects. Whether you need modular building transit protection for a few units or an entire fleet, EcoShrink provides a scalable, professional service.
