Modular Mountain Retreat Project

Modular Home Delivery Video

Bob meets with Pat Fricchione and Dave Boniello from Simplex Industries to observe the delivery of the modular home pieces to the home site. The 15 ton pieces are craned directly from a truck bed onto the Superior Wall’s Insulated Concrete Form basement foundation. Prior to delivery Simplex Industries scouts the route from the plant to the home site to insure the fifteen plus foot wide sections can be trucked safely down the road. Simplex must also obtain permits or permission from every state they traverse; this insures they are in compliance with department of transportation regulations. On site a team of skilled workmen secure heavy-duty cables to pick-up points on each section to maintain a uniform weight distribution and prevent the twisting or bending of the home’s frame.
