Mission-critical schedules move fast. A strong fabrication partner needs to move with them.

Our Des Moines team is doing just that, delivering multiple fabrication packages on aggressive timelines, with multiple completed, currently in the pipeline and more ahead.

Backed by more than 200,000 square feet of fabrication space across Modern, we have the capacity to respond, adapt and help our partners keep projects moving.

More than capacity. A fabrication partner.
