Pipe Modules for a Commercial Office BuildingThe building is a five-storey office development, built around two courtyards on a tight site defined by a busy road and a railway. The front of the building already existed and was dramatically refurbished, while the back is a new build project. This building is probably unique in having such a high proportion
of the contracting work under the direct control of a single
company. Taken as a whole, it is almost certainly unique also in
drawing together so many different aspects of design to pinpoint a
very precise building solution. The structure, thermal mass, low
energy ventilation, natural cooling and the architectural design all
converge. It is the design that permits such a high level of offsite |

Pipe Modules for a Commercial Office BuildingThe building is a 12 storey, 60,000m 2 regional office for the Royal Bank of Scotland in Manchester city centre, including a basement and roof top plantroom. The primary distribution pipework from the risers was installed in prefabricated mappress pipework modules in lieu of traditional on site installations. |

A Modular Corridor Product for Four Airport ProjectsThe four projects at BAA’s London Heathrow and Gatwick airports total £225m in value, with the corridor elements covered in this study accounting for £27m. The corridors, constructed from 4m long modules, segregate departing and arriving passengers in transit to and from the aircraft stands. They measure 3.5m high by 5.0 to 7.2m wide, and range in length from 220 to 408m. |
