Construction
Message From the Chairs
We welcome you to the 2015 Modular and Off-site Construction
[MOC]Summit & 1st International Conference on the Industrialization
of Construction [ICIC]: “An Odyssey to Industrialize Construction”, being
held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on May 19-21, 2015. This exciting
event encourages networking between academics, practitioners, and
industry stakeholders, and offers presentations encompassing leading
edge research and best practices in the area of modular and off-site
construction.
Compared to traditional construction methods, the industrialized
construction process reduces cost and construction time, generates
higher quality products, and creates healthier and safer environments
for workers and occupants. The 2015 MOC Summit & 1st ICIC brings
together researchers and industry stakeholders to showcase the benefits
and address the challenges of industrializing building construction
through a series of interactive presentations, panel discussions, and
information sessions. This year the organizers have expanded the scope
to include an academic component that has drawn presentations and
papers from leading experts.

On behalf of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta, I am pleased to welcome
you to the 2015 Modular and Offsite Construction (MOC) Summit and 1st International
Conference on the Industrialization of Construction (ICIC) in beautiful Edmonton.
The increasing demand for housing and infrastructure in Alberta is a reality we face every
day. As we look for new ways to meet this challenge, modular and offsite construction can be
a viable and efficient solution which reduces costs and construction time for suppliers and
increases quality and affordability for consumers. Environmental impact is reduced while
safety for both workers and occupants is enhanced. Modular and offsite construction also plays
an important role in making our province and country more competitive on the global stage by
creating jobs, supporting companies in bringing their technologies to market, and diversifying
the provincial and national economies.
The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta is proud to lead North America in
this emerging research area through initiatives such as the NSERC Industrial Research Chair
program in the Industrialization of Building Construction and the Nasseri School of Building
Science and Engineering. We take seriously our role in bringing knowledge and innovations to
industry for implementation, and in educating the highly qualified personnel who will continue
to advance this area in both research and practice.
The 2015 MOC Summit and 1st ICIC provides the opportunity for networking, knowledge
exchange and collaboration amongst professionals from industry and academia to promote
continuing development of modular and offsite construction methods and technologies. Thank
you to the NSERC Industrial Research Chair in the Industrialization of Building Construction and
the Modular Building Institute for your outstanding commitment to building a strong Alberta
and Canada, co-hosting an event which will further foster research advancement and industrial
partnerships in the area of modular and offsite construction.
Best wishes for a successful event!

What is the “World Café” Q & A Session?
The “World Café” discussion series allows presenters and delegates the opportunity
to discuss and share ideas, ask questions, and dialogue in a casual setting. The “World
Café” offers a less structured atmosphere for posing and responding to questions
arising from the presented materials. Each table will have a host—in this case, a
presenter at the conference—and there will be three pre-determined questions
to guide the discussion. We would like to implement a speed-dating approach for
each “World Café” Q&A session: there will be three 7-minute meetings per session.
Delegates will have the opportunity to share in discussion with one of the presenters
for approximately 7 minutes; a buzzer will conclude the session, and delegates will be
asked to choose another table. The focus is not necessarily on in-depth discussion,
but on providing an opportunity for further communication, to exchange ideas, and
to make new connections between presenters and delegates.
Suggested questions provided by the MOC Summit to facilitate conversation:
1. How would your topic impact the construction industry?
2. How might your topic be beneficial to advancement of modular and offsite
construction methods and technologies?
3. Are there any current practices in the modular industry that you would like to
see changed?
Feel free to prepare some of your own additional questions or talking points that you
may wish to discuss at your session as a table host.
Table hosts are encouraged to bring any extra materials they would like to aid in the
discussion process, for example:
··
printed materials
··
projects or case studies
··
brochures
··
an iPad or tablet with images to illustrate discussion topics
··
material samples or 3D models
The MOC Summit will supply paper and pens at each table to facilitate interactive
discussion. Feel free to jot down and keep any notes, drawings, or insights that you
glean from the “World Café” session that you may wish to share with others in future
discussions.

Since the industrial revolution efforts to improve
efficiency have served as a catalyst for innovation,
with engineers inventing new processes or improving
existing ones by means of new technologies and
managerial approaches. In this respect, the quest
for efficiency in the field of building construction
has led to the emergence of modularization, which
in turn has bolstered the advancement of off-site
construction technologies. This has improved
quality and reduced cycle time, and allowed for
higher safety standards to be implemented since
work is performed within a controlled environment.
These benefits have also introduced new challenges,
most notably the necessity to rely on enhanced
design and drafting for manufacturing (i.e., building
information modelling) and automation or semiautomation.
In the North American construction market,
however, the existing culture is characterized by the
use of primitive CAD tools for design, and utilization
of antiquated construction technologies in an
approach best described as stick-built under a roof.
This session track examines the existing practice
and culture of the North American construction
market and opportunities for technological
advancement, considering: (1) offsite prefabrication
and industrialization of construction practice in
North America; (2) technological innovations in
prefabrication of construction: the move from
stick-built under a roof to true manufacturing;
and (3) prefabricated systems and manufacturing
technologies.
Session Track: Modular Construction & Prefab Architecture
In modular construction projects, components
are prefabricated off site under controlled plant
conditions. Using modular and offsite construction
methods, projects are completed using the same
materials and designed to the same codes and
standards as conventionally built facilities, in a
manner which reduces cycle time and waste.
Modular building generally permits improved
quality control and construction management, using
high quality materials, advanced technologies, and
efficient production methods which leverage the
benefits of a manufacturing environment. Beyond
quality management and reduced completion time,
modular construction also entails: (1) reduced
waste and carbon footprint; (2) reduced site
disruptions; (3) a solution for projects with limited
site accessibility; and (4) cost savings related to
crew and material transportation.
Based on the many benefits described above,
modular construction has been widely used in
various sectors such as industrial, commercial, office,
retail, medical, and educational. The MOC Summit
& 1st ICIC provides opportunities for discussion and
knowledge exchange among builders, designers,
architects, and engineers with respect to modular
construction and prefabrication.
Expect presentations in this session track to
encompass a wide range of topics, including:
·· Modular construction guidelines and strategies
·· Innovative modular solutions
·· Architectural, scientific and structural design
for modular construction
·· Modular construction: Case studies and lessons
learned.

Wood as a building material is a greener
alternative to conventional concrete or steel
buildings. Wood is a renewable resource with less
associated greenhouse gas emissions than concrete
and steel. Wood buildings are also economical in
terms of construction, maintenance, and operation.
Although wood-frame construction has been
standard-practice for decades for most single-story
residential applications, architects and builders
continue to seek innovative wood materials and
technologies for various construction applications,
such as multi-storey buildings.
With recent advancements in technologies,
methods, and material science, wood-framing is
now increasingly implemented in taller buildings.
Although building code requirements vary by
jurisdiction, industry practice has the potential
to advance through knowledge exchange among
leading international experts in this area. The 2015
MOC Summit & 1st ICIC provides the opportunity
for builders, designers, architects, and structural
experts to come together to discuss these
challenges and opportunities related to wood
building technology and practice.
Expect presentations on a wide range of topics,
including:
·· Green wood-frame building practices
·· Innovative wood products
·· Architectural and structural design challenges
and solutions
·· Wood building systems
Session Track: Productivity And Lean Construction
With declining productivity rates in developed
countries and an aging workforce population within
the construction industry, the investigation and
analysis of these two phenomena are critical to the
future of the construction industry. Meanwhile,
safety is increasingly prioritized within industry in
recent decades, with serious and fatal injuries at
their lowest historical levels. However, work injuries
from repetitive stress and poor physical techniques
has motivated research on the ergonomics of dayto-day construction activities and how they are
performed.
In many industries a skilled labour force is becoming
a scarce assets,, and the construction industry,
given its complexities and physical demands, is no
exception to this trend. Improving the productivity
of labour within the organization is paramount to
the successful delivery of projects. Improving the
ergonomics of workers upholds safety and enhances
productivity, increasing the return on investment
spent training the workforce.
Lean techniques help workers to identify waste
and inefficiencies, and increase productivity. Case
studies have also demonstrated that ergonomics is
closely tied to safety, productivity, and reduction of
waste.
Productivity, ergonomics, and lean techniques
are of particular relevance to modular and off-site
construction, given the large-scale, factory-based,
and controlled nature of the associated construction
methods. Presentations in this session track will
include a wide range of topics, such as:
·· Ergonomics-related considerations for modular
and offsite construction
·· Utilizing lean manufacturing processes on and
off site
·· Innovative technology use in ergonomic studies
·· Practical case studies and recommendations

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an intelligent
3D model-based process for construction projects
that helps in creating and managing projects faster
and more economically. BIM allows collaborators
and stakeholders on a project to visualize design
ideas, simulate multiple alternatives, identify
clashes, communicate with one another, and
improve productivity.
The BIM approach to projects is a holistic one that
begins during the concept phase and encompasses
the entire life cycle of the project from construction
to demolition. When effectively implemented
BIM allows better communication among owners,
builders, designers, and engineers. This in turn
leads to fewer clashes, better understanding, and
quicker execution. All this translates to a more
efficient project that reduces costs, increases
quality, and mitigates environmental impact. BIM is
being adopted increasingly by designers, builders,
and manufacturers. Discussing innovations and
challenges will help to further advance this
emerging field.
Presentations in this session track will address a
range of topics related to building information
modeling, including:

Software advancement
Innovation in the application of BIM
Challenges in adopting and implementing BIM
Case studies and lessons learned

Session Track: Heavy Industrial
In North America, modular construction of industrial
plants may involve lifting several hundreds of
prefabricated modules and equipment weighing
up to 1,000 tons. This entails high construction
equipment and labour costs that exert a strong
influence on the success of the project. Various
other factors, such as transport, lift sequence,
crane relocation, and rigging modifications must
also be considered in order to provide an efficient
and cost-effective plan. In this context, specialized
engineering knowledge is for equipment selection
and planning. Given the complexity and volume of
operations involved in heavy industrial construction
projects, traditional planning methods are tedious,
time-consuming, and error-prone, and can have
significant negative impacts on cost and safety.
Using computer-aided systems, construction
planning for large-scale industrial projects can be
carried out automatically and efficiently, thereby
reducing cost and cycle time.
Advanced automated planning of on-site operations
is the key to leveraging the benefits of offsite
modular prefabrication for industrial construction.
This session track will target topics related to the
state-of-the-art in this area, and will encompass
current collaborative efforts between industry and
academia to enhance heavy industrial construction
planning. Expect presentations in this track to
address such topics as:
··

Automated heavy lift planning systems and
software
State-of-the-art in technologies and methods
for heavy lifting
Rigging planning and execution and crane
