OUR PREFABRICATED SOLUTION
Our unique prefabrication method involves manufacturing segments of projects at AC PLC HQ, which are then transported and assembled on-site. Our team has a wealth of experience gained from working in the steel work and cladding market, where innovative solutions have been developed to make the site installation process adopt an off site manufacturing approach.
This technique provides a range of benefits across time, safety, and cost.
Prefabrication lends itself to more mobility during off site manufacture due to size and weight of individual components. Therefore, the speed of construction is much faster and safe for our staff.
The process is shown to increase productivity by up to 50%. It allows measurable daily output against construction programmes whilst still incorporating cladding, louvres, doors, flashings, MEP ‘opes’ within the unitised element.
Installation is usually one of the most challenging aspects of the unitised solution as we move the panels around. However our approach allows the panels to be lifted to the building using vacuum suction technology, creating a safe system of work for our staff.
By adopting this technique we are able to increase our levels of accuracy, as the unitised panels are made in the tent workshop. We can ensure that we minimise any unnecessary secondary steel and that all installation challenges are incorporated into the design at an early stage. This means we can beat deadlines whilst maintaining a high level of quality.
Our prefabrication approach is the most sustainable option for clients. The amount of waste produced as well as the number of deliveries with materials carried out to sites is significantly reduced. There is approximately an 80% reduction in plant usage for the unitised solution.
