In this paper we present advanced techniques for the construction of half-wave resonator cryomodules. Recent advances in superconducting low-beta cavity design and processing have yielded dramatically improved cavity performance which reduce accelerator cost and improve operational reliability. This improvement has led to the proposal and construction of half-wave resonators by ANL for the acceleration of 0.1 < \beta < 0.5 ions, e.g., the SARAF Phase-II project at SNRC (SOREQ, Israel) and Project-X at Fermilab. These cryomodules build and improve upon designs and techniques recently implemented in upgrades to ATLAS at ANL. Design issues include the ease of assembly/maintenance, resonator cleanliness, operating at 2 or 4 Kelvin, and ancillary system interfacing.
