This year’s ENR Global Best Projects awardees, 34 in all, which you can learn about here, involved a lot of big deliveries—although not the kind that come in an Amazon box.
Many of these deliveries involved project sections that were pre-assembled or fabricated away from the construction site. Offsite prefabrication and assembly isn’t new if you think of segmental bridge sections, steel roof trusses and industrial pipe modules. Analysts speculate that the pandemic may speed up prefabrication and pre-assembly, and this year’s best project entries seemed to include more.
