Engineering & Operational Principles

Foundation Tolerances (DIN 18202 Class 3)

Because volumetric steel modules are fabricated with millimetric accuracy (±2mm), the foundation concrete slab or strip footings must respect a maximum elevation deviation of ±5mm across the building footprint.

Verified Protocol Scope

Mobile Crane Outrigger Staging

Mobile cranes (typically 100t to 250t telescopic) require a compacted gravel or asphalt staging pad capable of withstanding outrigger pressures up to 350 kN/m².

Frequently Asked Questions

What minimum road width and turning radius is required for delivery trucks?
Access roads require a minimum clear width of 3.8m, minimum overhead clearance of 4.5m (free of tree limbs or overhead cables), and a turning radius of at least 15m.
Who verifies foundation dimensions before module dispatch?
The local surveyor or civil engineer produces an As-Built survey protocol with laser measurement data. SERMODULA engineering team signs off the foundation survey prior to dispatch release.
Can modular homes be placed on ground screw piles instead of concrete?
Yes, for 1 to 2-storey homes. Heavy-duty ground screws (Krinner/StopDigging) with certified load tests are acceptable if compatible with local soil mechanics and structural engineering.
What happens if crane erection day encounters high winds?
Lifting operations halt if wind gusts exceed 12 m/s (approx. 43 km/h) for safety regulations. Modules remain safely anchored on trailers or ground pads until conditions clear.
Is electrical power needed on site during crane erection?
A mobile generator or 230V/400V site power supply is required to power laser alignment tools, impact torque wrenches, and temporary dehumidifiers.
