Veristeel has developed proprietary construction technology that is the world’s first mass-produced, globally-distributed, standardized building structural system. What we offer is a simplified means of producing essential turn-key building facilities, manufactured to custom specifications in the US or elsewhere in scalable quantities, made ready for rapid deployment, and which are deliverable virtually anywhere in the world. The core of the patent-pending Veristeel building system is a mass-producible, structural steel building frame that combines the efficiency of modular construction with the intermodal transportation and deployment functionality of ISO shipping containers. Trademarked as the RD FlexMod™, it resembles the frame of an Erector® set on steroids and is combinable in multiples like Lego® building blocks to create buildings large and small. It is engineered with 40’ clear-spans to provide architectural and floor plan design flexibility in single and multi-story configurations. The “openness” of the pre-engineered structural steel moment frame design enables extensive customization for need-specific (and, for the military, threat-specific) buildings. We designed the system with features and dimensions that leverage the footprint and handling ease of the ubiquitous shipping container, to facilitate global distribution and installation using equipment and transportation methods that are already in place, worldwide. The RD FlexMod™ (referred to internally as “RDFM”) can be stored for undetermined future use or outfitted for multiple purposes and occupancy types in a factory, or on-site. The system is specifically designed to be repetitively produced in large volumes on an automated assembly line, customized down-stream to end-user specifications, and transportable by standard intermodal means—via air, sea, rail and road—to virtually any location on the globe.
