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

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.
