Operators are now facing the prospect of building multiple facilities concurrently, potentially across different site locations, instead of taking up to five years to bring a site online, the average development cycle is down to 18-24 months. A modular approach can help to refine and streamline the process at a time when speed and efficiency are top priorities to service the overwhelming demand for new facilities.
