Prefabricated Frames Offsite

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Utilising a BIM Model and clash detection, it was enabled for designers to design a frame which holds all the mechanical pipework and associated bracketry to be manufactured at low level and in factory conditions.

This then allowed for frames to be delivered to site and be installed at high level using mechanical aids, which will prevent musculoskeletal injuries due to a big reduction in manual handling.

This reduced the travel time for operatives to a site as they worked in a factory close by and reduced the amount of long car journeys to site to make and install frames. This also helps the carbon footprint to be reduced as the number of cars on the road for long durations was reduced.
