6. Unloading and Staging the Modules
1. Place modules on ground that is as solid and level as possible. Soft ground/grass will make
preparation for installation more difficult. Concrete or gravel ground is preferable for pre-installation
work. If no gravel or concrete area is available for staging the modules, consider placing the modules
on 2 x 4’s or other blocking material to prevent the modules from sinking into the ground.
2. Place modules next to sequential modules (i.e. place Module 2 near Module 3 and Module 3 near
Module 4, etc.) to make the stacking and connection of multiple modules easier.
3. Leave at least 4' to 5' of space between each module. Catwalks and/or platforms are attached
to appropriate modules before modules are stacked upon each other and lifted into place.

NOTE: Concrete and gravel make the best staging ground.
NOTE: Leave adequate space between modules to attach platforms and catwalks.
