Sustainable Construction
At Meehleis Modular we believe in promoting green practices and implementing them into our structures and daily manufacturing processes. Since 2010 we have been a grid neutral company, installing a 191 kilowatt solar farm atop our manufacturing facility, enabling us to build nearly year round with energy from the sun. Additionally, we monitor in-plant construction wastes and have achieved a minimum of 90% diversion rate on materials destined for landfills.
