ModuSec Manufacture
The ModuSec System has been developed from a phenolic foam steel faced system uniquely produced by a UK company RCS (Manufacturing) Ltd – originally for insulation for the food industry. The system overcame all the issues of other panel systems such as mineral wool and PIR, etc., it was more expensive, in a market that was very cost conscious. Remtech, having a history of providing protective environments in the IT world, adopted the system, with RCS becoming our sole nominated sub-contractor to manufacture and install the system for IT environments. And so we have been working together as a team since the late 1990’s. Since then we have further developed the product to become the leading UK specialists in high security construction to protect not only IT but UK Government Critical Infrastructure and MOD supply line companies with our ModuSec GS options.
The system uses a unique phenolic foam formulation to produce the Pyrofoam core material. This is injected under very pressure into a mould that contains the steel panel skins, camlock locking mechanisms and side rails that produce the tongue and groove shaped edges. The foam fills up every corner of the mould and bonds to the steel skins to produce a very strong composite panel. The panel reach around 80% of their structural strength in a few hours and continue to full strength within days.
Quality control is of prime importance. The process is rigorously monitored to ensure consistent density and quality of the finished panels – with each panel being hand finished.
Most composite panels are manufactured as a 'continuous process'. However this is not the case with our panels. In general our panels are 1140mm wide. However, the steel skins can be cut to any size and panels can be formed to any required size up to 1140mm wide x 6m long. In addition we can make panels with preformed corners and introduce cable conduits, reinforcement channels and steel mesh into panels as required.
The factory also produces our own doors – specifically developed to fit the ModuSec System. The components for these and other steel trims, angles, channels, etc., are produced using the latest CNC technology and CAD/CAM software – to ensure that each item can be reproduced exactly if required.
Most steelwork is fabricated in house for roof constructions, ceiling support steelwork, ramps, steps, etc. This allows us to maintain the highest levels of quality control and ensures that we get the right piece of steel, made to the right size at the right time.
Components for each job are stored in our warehouse ready to be transported to site at the required time. Again, we use our own transport for UK deliveries. This ensures that it gets to site in the right condition and unloaded safely ready for installation – by our in-house installation teams.
Our vast experience in building small server rooms, large scale data centres or high security storage facilities means that we can solve almost any unexpected problem that may come up on site and suggest the best way to solve it.
