MODULAR CONSTRUCTION: THE ARDMAC WAY

MODULAR SOLUTIONS

Modular Solutions. Ready to deploy, repeatable, flexible and sustainable.

At Ardmac, we design, manufacture, factory-test (FAT), and install modular controlled environment solutions. Our integrated approach combines whitespace, power, and cooling modules to deliver complete, high- performance facilities.

Single Source. Complete Accountability. From inception to operation, Ardmac provides a single source of responsibility. Our standardised, modular approach maximises cost efficiency and speed of delivery while maintaining the flexibility to meet client-specific needs. Being vendor-agnostic, we integrate seamlessly with your preferred suppliers and technologies. Flexible by Design. Our modular systems offer adaptable layouts and multistorey configurations, enabling easy customisation and future expansion. Additional modular cleanroom panels and wall systems can be added with minimal disruption. Bespoke architectural finishes ensure every project meets your technical and aesthetic requirements. Tested and Trusted. All modules are fully tested and commissioned off site prior to installation, ensuring rapid integration, reliable performance, and compliance from day one.

Sustainable and Efficient. Through audited manufacturing processes, we minimise waste, maximise resource efficiency, and deliver consistent quality — providing clients with a smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable way to build. Built for Performance and Safety. By shifting critical construction activity off site, we reduce risk, improve safety, and accelerate delivery. • Over 85% pre-manufactured value (PMV) completed off site. • Reduced on-site time, labour, and disruption • Fewer trades working concurrently, minimising safety risks and working at height.

DFMA(D)

DfMA(D) Design for Manufacture and Assembly / Disassembly.

Ardmac implements a DfMA(D) or ‘Design for Manufacture and Assembly/Disassembly’ strategy, wherever possible, to assist the on-site assembly and construction process. Generating detailed 3D models using specialist design software allows for the classification and quantification of materials directly from the model. Models can then be transferred digitally to manufacturing partners production software. Anything that is modelled is coded and trackable. Schedules of quantities and sizes (or any other properties) that are linked to model objects can be extracted with ease. This greatly reduces the amount of manual counting, minimises the risk of human error, and improves accuracy, impacting quality and cost control.

Products can be designed to LOD500 detail ahead of time for ease of manufacture and assembly of parts that form an overall solution. This has proven successful in designing, procuring, and fabricating systems and components off-site, reducing schedule, labour requirements, transport costs, and site waste, while creating a safer work environment. One example of where this off-site construction approach to data centre controlled environments has been successful is where we have provided hot and cold aisle (HAC) solutions to leading global brands internationally.

“By adopting Design for Manufacture and Assembly early, we deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions. Collaborating with our customers allows us to reduce waste, minimise risk, and ensure consistent quality from design to delivery.”

Peter Lonergan, Associate Director Pre-Construction

Containment Solutions. Ground supported and ceiling supported assemblies.

Off-Site Fabrication. On-Site Assembly.

As part of our continuing design for manufacture and assembly strategy, Ardmac have developed the ground supported (GS) hot and cold aisle containment solution and the ceiling supported (CS) hot and cold aisle containment solution with our established off-site fabrication techniques. Full height lightweight independent frames and containment walls are manufactured off-site to the agreed scale and dimensions and transported to the specific project location.

The off-site fabrication strategy allows for large manageable sections of the framework to be delivered in a ‘flat-pack’ approach and bolted together in-situ for rapid assembly.

WORKING SMART

Revolutionising construction site management. At Ardmac, innovation drives excellence. In 2024, we embarked on a transformative journey to enhance our site operations management process. While our workflows were already grounded in robust BIM implementation, we recognised the potential to elevate efficiency and safety by integrating cutting- edge technology. After evaluating both Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), we identified AR as the optimal solution for on-site applications. Unlike VR, which posed safety challenges, AR offered a practical and secure alternative, allowing teams to utilise tablets in the field. To ensure seamless integration, we selected GAMMA AR, a leading augmented reality tool compatible with Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore. A rigorous proof of concept verified its compatibility with our systems, and our Digital Innovation Committee (DIC) approved the deployment. The DIC, composed of senior leaders across departments, ensures all digital processes align with Ardmac’s high standards for quality and innovation.

By integrating AR with BIM, Ardmac has set a new standard for construction efficiency and precision. Real-time visualisation and data synchronisation eliminated inefficiencies, reduced errors, and aligned on-site execution with design specifications.

CASE STUDY

Modular mRNA Manufacturing Facility Multi Module 40Ft Containments

Client:

Confidential

Location: Duration:

Rwanda

22 weeks (4 weeks on site)

Ardmac were contracted to deliver two modularised vaccine manufacturing suites for a multinational pharmaceutical client. The first project, situated in Germany, was completed in two phases as a proof of concept, achieving a Percentage Manufactured Value of 78% of works completed offsite. A second project was then commissioned with Ardmac to deliver suites into central Africa, with the PMV achieving 98% of works completed offsite, including full factory acceptance testing and commissioning. During development of project two, our design time decreased by 50% as the scheme was proven as a flexible and scalable solution through the adaption of a standardised and repeatable design. As we developed the project together with our client team, improvements were tabled and implemented allowing the total time spent on site with the installation of the modules to reduce from 12 weeks on Phase One to 4 weeks on Phase Two. This joint learning and development supported our client to honour their commitment to deliver facilities to an African state in 2022; a historic event for the continent and humanity as we responded to the global pandemic of Covid-19.

The Ardmac Modular Cleanrooms are fully self- contained pharmaceutical facilities which are scalable to suit clients’ needs, transportable globally due to their standard 40-foot container size and customisable to our clients processes and requirements. To date, Ardmac have delivered multiple modular cleanrooms to clients within Ireland, Mainland Europe, and Africa. To demonstrate our versatility, we chartered the Antonov AN124, one of the largest cargo planes currently available globally, to transport the first of the modular units into Rwanda. The significance of this delivery was a major political event for the African Union highlighting the speed at which these modular facilities can be deployed globally, using various means of transport to achieve the required goals, to regions that would not be traditionally considered for pharmaceutical facilities. The launch of the Modular Cleanrooms bound for Africa by our client was attended by senior leaders of WHO (World Health Organization) as well as several Presidents and Prime Ministers from the African Union, European Union and other global dignitaries, all of which received significant media coverage.

Modular Testing Facility Modular testing facility comprised of six external modules

Client:

Confidential

Location:

Oxfordshire, England

Project Size:

184m2 40 Days

Duration:

This project involved the creation of a modular testing facility made up of six external modules. The client needed a rental option that could be quickly deployed. These units were installed on an existing site, adjacent to a current facility, and were designed to operate independently, complete with HVAC and electrical utilities. The entire project was delivered in just 76 days, with Ardmac completing the Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM) process, from site setup to handover, in just 40 days. Meeting The Client’s Requirements The client required a cutting-edge modular testing facility to be delivered within a strict timeline. The project presented various challenges that needed to be resolved without affecting the overall schedule. The facility was to consist of six external, fully self- sufficient modules, complete with integrated HVAC and electrical utilities. Midway through the project, additional requirements were introduced, including extra electrical sockets and modifications to the mechanical and electrical (M&E) scope, such as installing a chiller and compressor. These changes necessitated additional cabling, procurement, and man-hours, creating potential risks to the project timeline. The electrical work duration increased from 5 days to 11 due to the extensive cabling required. However, a mitigation plan was implemented to recover lost time by overlapping tasks with the testing and commissioning phases, ensuring the project remained on track. The Solution Ardmac, a leading international construction specialist recognised for delivering high-quality and innovative solutions, was chosen for the project. Ardmac’s expertise in off-site construction made them an ideal partner for this fast-paced initiative. By leveraging lean tools and efficient reporting, Ardmac maintained seamless project management, providing the client with a sense of confidence

and control. This structured approach was key to ensuring the project’s successful delivery. Ardmac’s careful planning and precise execution enabled them to effectively address the additional requirements without compromising the timeline or quality. The Results Ardmac successfully delivered the project within the planned 76-day timeframe, completing the Off- Site Manufacturing (OSM) phase, from site setup to handover, in just 40 days. Through strategic mitigation plans and task overlapping, the team minimised delays and ensured the project stayed on schedule. The facility, composed of six modules, included a 106 m² testing area and a total facility size of 184 m². This achievement highlights Ardmac’s expertise in managing complex projects efficiently while upholding exceptional construction standards. “The custom unit served the project needs very well, the additional height proved well worth the effort and there were no issues with the temporary building’s performance or comfort. The overall requirement of the temporary ‘cleanroom’ allowed us get a huge advantage and schedule gain for Qualification and Validation of the process equipment and the client recognised that we took over three months out of the original schedule by implementing our Out of Place testing in the facility. We believe that other clients and projects who have heard of our innovation are planning similar OOP efforts for schedule improvement.”

Modular Suspended Structural Aisle Containment Solution Specialist interior fit-out of a hyper-scale data centre project in Denmark

Client:

Confidential Denmark Hyper Scale

Location:

Project Size:

In late 2020 Ardmac were appointed to deliver the specialist interior fit-out of a hyper-scale data centre project in Denmark for a well-known global brand. Part of the scope included suspended structural ceiling grids and a bespoke aisle containment solution tailored to the end user’s needs. Aisle containment systems enclose the space between server racks, collecting the IT equipment’s hot exhaust air, while the data hall architectural elements create a large cold-air plenum. This keeps the hot and cold air streams separated, ensuring effective cooling and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). 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 benefits of the approach resulting in a LEAN project delivery and early schedule activity for multiple trades. Improved labour production within the factory setting and the resulting speed of installation of the aisle containment modules has positive knock-on effects for subsequent trade activities, and is just one example of the benefits of our LEAN approach to project delivery. Modular cold aisles and ceiling systems are assembled in factory-controlled conditions, ensuring a safe working environment and reducing working at height, while elevating quality standards in comparison to traditional construction methods and generating enhanced Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) for our clients.

Our standardised solutions are high-performing, scalable, and integrate seamlessly with server and cabling infrastructure. We also provide customised options to meet specific project requirements for structure, aesthetics, access control, and service integration. Aisle containment systems must integrate electrical and mechanical services, requiring early collaboration. With Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), we can design and assemble fully equipped HAC units off-site, enhancing programme speed and construction quality through Design for Manufacture and Assembly/Disassembly (DfMA). Using 3D models, components are classified, quantified, and transferred to manufacturing systems with trackable accuracy. LOD500-level detail ensures parts are pre- fabricated for efficient, low-waste assembly. This approach has delivered successful outcomes for major clients worldwide. A recent case study in Austria highlights the use of Ardmac’s ground-supported HAC system, built to transfer service loads to floor slabs, eliminating ceiling suspension.

Our team conducted architectural and structural assessments to meet client needs for spans, tolerances, and finishes. The resulting structure, co-designed with M&E partners, included integrated access control and a walk-on ceiling system supported by beams spanning HAC units. These beams carried both ceiling and service loads. Design input is most valuable during the ECI phase, where Ardmac supports clients in identifying off-site opportunities and achieving high Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV). Our BIM Level 2 certified processes and model libraries streamline coordination with manufacturing and supply chain partners. Products are manufactured under ISO 14001:2015 standards, using sustainable, recyclable components and LEAN methods. Scalable HAC units are designed to fit varied room modules, with zero waste from LOD500 precision. Structurally, the system includes main beams for ceiling and services, cantilevered arms for support, and cross-bracing for stability. Assemblies are available as 3D modules or flat-pack formats to suit site conditions. Off-site prefabrication minimises site labour, waste, and risk, with this project achieving significant time savings thanks to detailed design and DfMA planning.

Daniel, CRB

Jonathan Curwen Senior Design Manager, Construction North East “Having worked with the Ardmac design team for several months, Wates found them to be highly motivated in providing ourselves and the Client with an experienced team of Designers who work collaboratively within the wider project design team, utilising project specific BIM requirements. Information was issued to the agreed timescales and to a high standard to enable detailed reviews to be undertaken, and finalised details and agreements to be made with the Client prior to conclusion of the design process. Ardmac’s deep knowledge and understanding of the proposed products has helped understand other key secondary work elements.”

“We were thrilled to partner with Ardmac on this project. From the outset, their reliability and commitment to doing the right thing for the project’s success were evident. This was CRB’s first time working with Ardmac, and given our highly compressed schedule for a groundbreaking product, trust was crucial. Both teams established a strong foundation of trust early on, which proved invaluable and delivered results quickly. The Ardmac team made the entire process seamless, and we truly enjoyed working with them. We look forward to collaborating with Ardmac again on future projects.”
