, and other leading voices at Bryden Wood articulate the urgent need for modernisation within our infrastructure systems.

Pipework is assembled in its frame off-site.The frame then serves as its support for transport purposes, and allows for stacking of multiple units.

The small number of extra supports required during transportation to avoid damaging of services, are returned to the factory and re-used for subsequent deliveries..The modules are installed to their pre-cast fixing points and the pipes joined together using crimped connections – a quick and simple process that requires no welding.To make things simpler still, the exact number and size of couplings needed for each module are provided in a box taped to the side.. Further benefits to logistics and on-site processes with innovative M&E design.

Delivering pipework pre-assembled and ready for installation makes transport and on-site logistics much more efficient.There is no requirement for on-site storage of parts, preparation, cutting, assembly or waste disposal.

All of this is particularly important on a constrained site in central London.. At the Forge, we have over 40 riser modules, over 800 fan coil and pipe modules, and over 1300 comflor panels to contain the cabling and sprinkler pipework.

This represents approx.single components that can be optimised for material efficiency.

An Assembly e.g.MEP cassettes, which efficiently combine key components and processes.

Individual spaces e.g.a patient room, which has certain needs, regulations.
