Modular Buildings Driving Efficiency for Automotive Operations

When an automotive facility needs to improve workflow, efficiency, and cleanliness, the solution must be practical, durable, and adaptable. That’s exactly what A-WALL Building Systems, in partnership with Purdy Co., delivered for a global automotive components manufacturer.

The Challenge

The automotive facility required a segregated space to clean equipment directly on the factory floor – without disrupting production or losing valuable square footage. Traditional construction methods would have been costly, messy, and time-consuming. They needed something faster, flexible, and long-lasting, with specific considerations for dust control, accessibility, and utility integration.

The Solution

Using A-WALL 300 Modular Walls, Purdy Co. designed and installed:

-A freestanding modular building
-Two side-by-side rooms to serve as dedicated cleaning enclosures. The systems were integrated into pallet racking, maximizing vertical space and improving workflow.

Key Features Designed for the Facility’s Needs

-Ventilation & Dust Control: Each room was equipped with a ventilation and exhaust feature with filtration, ensuring fine plastic and rubber particulates generated during equipment cleaning were contained without needing to vent outside the building.
-Wide Equipment Access: A reinforced 8-foot-wide door opening, framed with structural strut, allows large equipment to be rolled in and out easily. A dust-control curtain was added to help keep particles contained within the cleaning rooms.
-Pre-engineered: The modular offices were outfitted with factory-prepped lighting and electrical integration, giving workers a bright, safe, and fully functional environment for cleaning and maintenance.
-Space Optimization: Purdy Co. and A-WALL worked closely with the customer to ensure the modular system could be properly installed under existing pallet racking, preserving valuable warehouse space while still providing dedicated enclosed areas.

Why A-WALL?

-Durability: Featuring White Pebble FRP panels, A-WALL buildings are rugged, resistant to harsh conditions, and easy to clean – perfect for industrial applications.
-Speed: Installed much faster than traditional drywall construction, minimizing downtime.
-Flexibility: Adaptable to existing pallet racking systems and futures reconfigurations.
-Affordability: A cost-effective option compared to permanent construction.

The Result

The global automotive components manufacturer now has durable, clean, and efficient enclosures that streamline equipment maintenance directly on the production floor. With filtered ventilation, reinforced wide access, dust containment, and integrated racking, these modular solutions have enhanced both workflow and workplace safety.

This project demonstrates how A-WALL modular buildings aren’t just walls – they’re engineered solutions that drive productivity and efficiency for industrial partners.
