Valero Energy Corporation Engages ModSpace for Concrete Floor BuildingValero Energy Corporation, a Fortune 500 energy company based in San Antonio, Texas, wanted to upgrade and consolidate its office space for its Houston Asphalt Terminal facility.
Concrete floors are rare in the modular industry and few companies have the skills or willingness to build them due to their complexity. ModSpace partnered with Ameri-Tech Building Systems to manufacture the concrete-floored modular building.
Within 90 days, ModSpace had completed the 3,139-square-foot structure, all of which met local and state building codes. The facility includes a laboratory, office complex, employee lounge, locker space, restrooms, and shower facilities. There are few modular space companies in the country that can accomplish what ModSpace did for Valero Energy. This is just another example of why more companies are turning to ModSpace for their most important modular projects. Contact

At
the time, nearly 20 employees were working out of
two disconnected modular units. Management wanted
a workspace that looked, felt, and operated like
a permanent facility. And even though management
wanted to use a modular solution versus conventional
construction because its more cost effective and
has a faster turnaround time, the company needed
a concrete floor that could withstand heavy traffic
and abuse that's typical of an asphalt plant's environment.
The
concrete flooring was mixed, framed, and poured
at Ameri-Tech's factory and within one week of the
project start, six single modules were assembled
and shipped to Valero's site and assembled in a
two-module-by-three-module configuration. The concrete
floors were finished and stained on site, which
added a unique, finished look to the flooring. Decks,
ramps, steps, and steel canopies were also built
on site. Anchored at every post, the decks can withstand
extreme weather conditions, not to mention daily
wear and tear from workers.
