Key Benefits of a Modular Approach
Modular unit delivery is a strategic solution in a wide range of challenging environments. It addresses logistical, climatic, workforce, safety and security constraints while ensuring quality, faster execution, and cost control. Here are the key situations where modularization truly makes a difference.
Remote Areas
Ideal for locations where on-site fabrication is impractical (scarce labor and construction resources), and space optimization is critical (Offshore).
Harsh Climate
Perfect fit for regions where harsh weather conditions severely impact productivity and project timelines.
Lack of Manpower
A smart solution when local construction workforce is either insufficient or lacks the required expertise.
Existing Plants Constraints
Minimizes disruption in operational facilities where safety and continuity are key during construction phases, and addresses the congestion constraints thanks to a compact design.
Security Concerns
Recommended for sites where open access to workers and vehicles poses significant security risks.

Tailor Made
We adapt to your needs: site-specific constraints, integration of preferred vendors, project specifications, cost and schedule priorities.
Optimized Schedule
We allow you a smoother project execution and a quicker FID thanks to streamlined interfaces and overlapping phases between PDP and MDP.
Derisked Project Execution
We support you in the definition of a clear and optimized scope and in the development of a robust engineering package allowing to increase the project maturity.
From Design to Start-Up: A Fully Integrated Modular Approach
As a licensor and supplier of modular units, Axens provides performance guarantees under the license agreement, and mechanical and delivery schedule guarantees under the EPF contract. By minimizing the number of interfaces, Axens delivers a comprehensive solution, from basic design to fabrication, integration, start-up, and performance test.
“One-stop” Shop
As a technology licensor and modular units supplier, Axens enables:
• Seamless coordination between teams, quick decision-making process
• Documentation quality ensured: Reduced risk of errors or omissions
• Less interfaces: Single technical & contractual counterpart
Quality and Safety Control
• Modular Units fabrication in a remote accredited yard under Axens supervision ensures highest level of quality and safety
• Remote fabrication enables to drastically reduce co-activities on site
Cost Savings
• Optimized cost for labor intensive activities
• Less supervision time thanks to a trained and specialized manpower
• For brownfield projects, reduce production downtime and SIMOPS impacts thanks to the remote fabrication of the new modular unit(s)
Time Savings
• Optimized installation, commissioning and start-up times thanks to a “plug & play” approach: all modular assemblies are trial fitted and fully pre-commissioned in fabrication yard before shipment
• Site preparation and OSBL are managed concurrently with the module(s) fabrication
Risks Management
• No gap of responsibility: Axens is your sole counterpart for the ISBL modular unit(s)
• Unified teams from basic engineering to the delivery of the modular unit, ensures consistency of documents avoiding costly reworks
