Services
Packaged Plantrooms
Our bespoke Packaged Plantrooms are prefabricated offsite to include all mechanical and electrical components, ensuring plug-and-play installation. Designed for applications like district heating and data centres, these solutions reduce onsite construction time by up to 40%. Each unit undergoes factory acceptance testing to guarantee performance and reliability before delivery.
Plant Skid Modules
Skid-mounted solutions integrate mechanical and electrical systems for rapid onsite assembly. Ideal for steam generation and chilled water systems, these modules are QA-checked and FAT-tested to ensure compliance with project specifications. Their modular design minimises site disruption and accelerates project timelines.
MEP Lateral & Riser Modules
Prefabricated MEP modules streamline mechanical and electrical service distribution in high-rise buildings. BIM-integrated design ensures clash-free installation, while structural calculations optimise lifting and fixing points. These modules reduce onsite labour by up to 50% through pre-cast integration and factory-tested components.
Renewable Energy Solutions
We design and deliver renewable energy systems including biomass boilers and heat pumps. These turnkey solutions incorporate offsite fabrication to ensure efficiency and scalability across commercial and residential sectors. Integration with BIM models guarantees seamless onsite installation and long-term operational performance.
District Heating Schemes
Our district heating systems feature prefabricated energy centres and distribution modules for urban and industrial applications. Designed to reduce carbon emissions, these systems combine low-temperature hot water networks with modular pipework, ensuring energy efficiency and compliance with sustainability standards.
