GM needed a 16' x 32' team center that could be assembled quickly, cleanly and with a minimum of labor required at the jobsite. GM's vice president of manufacturing, Daryl Carlson, offered a unique solution. He proposed a modular office that would ship to the jobsite pre-assembled in four 8' x 16' sections.

STARRCO STARRCO SAVES GM TIME AND MONEY
SOLUTIONS General Motors had a problem. They needed a
16' x 32' team center for their Mansfield, OH "Unique Applications for facility that could be assembled quickly, cleanly Modular Construction" and with a minimum of labor required at the jobsite. Their goal was to get a unit that could Individual section w/temporary bracing easily be put together by GM's maintenance personnel without disrupting their production cycle.
Starrco's Vice President of Manufacturing, Daryl
Carlson, offered GM a unique solution. He proposed a modular office that would ship to the jobsite pre-assembled in four 8' x 16' sections. Each section would be assembled on a forkliftable steel base. The sections would be pre-wired and include stub outs for sprinkler lines and plumbing. Daryl designed each section so that it would easily connect together Two sections being test fitted at factory minimizing the amount of time required to assemble the complete office at the jobsite. The bases included specially designed guides so they would slip together.
The sections were assembled using Starrco's
SS3000-DL wall system. The DL panels gave GM a wall system that was completely non- combustible and offered excellent sound control capabilities. The roof system was designed with a special connecting splice that allowed the ceilings for each section to be Interior view of assembled unit attached to each other without the need for on site fabrication or cutting. All the electric was done with our Quick-Tric modular wiring package so that each section's electrical components could be connected together without an electrician being required.
The individual sections were labeled so GM's
personnel could easily determine the installation sequence. Each base included reinforced forklift pockets to allow GM to unload and move each section.
