I thought that the point of modular constructions was that the modules could be more easily transported and then assembled.

This was assembled in a yard and moved to its final location on SPMTs. If this moved more than a few hundred feet I would be very surprised. We're doing something similar on a project right now. We're assembling a bunch of prefabricated modules into something that's about 6x too long (and also far too wide) to transport down the highway. So the steel gets assembled and partially tested in a yard just off-site, then we transport the assembled unit on SPMTs to its final location. You have to do this a lot of the time on brownfield sites if they're operating. Can't interrupt production.

SPMT . . . had to look it up. Wow, pretty cool stuff.
Here.
