Modular Building on a Navy Barge
Innovative Solutions for Naval Operations
Modular buildings have revolutionized construction, offering versatility, speed, and cost-efficiency. One of the most impressive applications is the installation of modular buildings on Navy barges. This page explores how Panel Built created a 25′ x 71′ modular building for BAE Systems, enhancing the functionality of a Navy barge off the coast of South Carolina.
Modular Building on a Navy Barge
Creating a modular building on a Navy barge requires careful planning and execution to meet the unique challenges of the marine environment. The 25′ x 71′ modular building designed by Panel Built features 16 rooms across two stories, providing essential spaces for offices, storage, and operational needs. This structure was specifically engineered to withstand the harsh conditions at sea.
Marine-grade materials and special sealants were used to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. The aluminum-clad panels are treated to endure saltwater exposure, making the building robust and long-lasting. This project exemplifies Panel Built’s ability to deliver customized modular solutions that meet the rigorous standards of naval operations.
