PLANT ROOM AND DISTRIBUTION CENTRE
P aul Devlin Mechanical Services prefabricated and installed two plant rooms and distribution centre to the Aspen Student Accommodation site for Gaffney Mechanical Services. The County Down firm collaborated with NI Mechanical to create the 3D modelling and setting out of the distribution centre.

Prefabricating plant rooms offsite has many advantages, says Paul Devlin, Managing Director at Paul Devlin Mechanical Services. “Our warehouse is properly set up for the prefabrication process so there is better materials organisation and work is completed to a higher manufactured finish. More than 70% of these types of projects can be done offsite in a more organised environment. Having the right facilities and proper
