  • Patent number: 11624182
    Abstract: Modular building cleanrooms having integrated mechanical rooms with removable, walkable floor panels above their ceilings are disclosed. The attic area above the sealed cleanroom ceiling and below joists of the modular building's frame provides an interstitial volume through which ducts, piping, electrical conduit, etc. run from the mechanical room to dampers, valves, and junctions boxes. The walkable floor panels can be bar grating through which maintenance people can see components below. The floor panels can have individual sections that may be removed for access to the components. Along with walkable floor panels, the modular building roofs can have foldable electrical panelboards that are pre-wired at the factory and then rotated upright once delivered to their destination.

  • Patent number: 11492795
    Abstract: A rapidly deployable cleanroom is constructed from multiple modular building sections that are side-by-side and have similarly sized lengths, as well as user-accessible panels in multiple of them for air, water, power, networking, and other utilities at a similar internal location along their lengths. The utility panels can be standardized such that each panel is substantially identical to one another. The modular building sections can be drawn together using tension cables within lateral hollow extruded structural tubes beneath and/or above the cleanroom, the tension system utilizing jackscrews to pull everything tight. Because the utility panels are at the same longitudinal location in the building sections, the joined structure and resulting open space “ballroom” style cleanroom has the utility panels aligned with each other inside the cleanroom.

  • Patent number: 10704267
    Abstract: Extruded floorboards having integrated standoffs, or legs, to offset them from the ground or floor underneath, are disclosed in which adjacent floorboards share a common leg for standing off. On each side of the cross section of a floorboard, a shorter leg mates with a longer leg of an adjacent floorboard through a tongue & groove. The mated legs are supported by the longer leg and a foot at the bottom of the longer leg. A stiffening rib is included. The longer leg is longer than the shorter leg and stiffening rig by a predetermined distance so as to leave clearance for air bearings or other components underneath an assembled floor.
