Given the complexity of the build and the requirement for fully integrated electrical services within suspended structural cold aisles, modular solutions leveraging the benefits of off-site construction and DfMA strategies have been utilised. Supplementing our Building SMART approach, BIM has played an important role in the coordination and procurement of the components and the interdependent services. Our Architectural Technologists work closely with other trades to ensure a zero-risk delivery of the solution. Early engagement and collaboration with the client and other supply chain partners has created opportunity to manufacture, procure and assemble the solution in an off-site location close to the facility ahead of traditional programme commencement dates. This approach allows the construction of the ceiling and aisle containment systems to commence ahead of the critical path and room ready dates. All components are pre-ordered and manufactured in accordance with the approved design proposal to allow a zero waste off-site assembly of the modular cold aisle, demonstrating our continued commitment to sustainable construction methods. Pre-fitting of integrated electrical services in an off-site location close to the facility is just one of the resulting benefits of the approach resulting in a LEAN project delivery and early schedule activity for multiple trades.
