SAS Modular Solutions provides a complete off-site manufacture and pre-fabrication of mechanical and electrical modules that incorporates ductwork, pipe work, electrical cables and cable trays. Once complete these innovative modules are efficiently installed in a project saving labour, materials and valuable time. The advantages of pre-fabrication within construction has been realised in many sectors where there is a high demand for M&E services. These include hospitals, transport hubs and public buildings. Specifying the modular rather than traditional route of construction is a decision that needs to be taken at the planning and design stage. Using a modular approach can offer cost and time savings, and provide quality and commercial benefits. It also helps to meet the demands of fast build projects whilst offering considerable health & safety benefits through the reduction of on-site construction, particularly at height. The manufacturing process can also be more efficiently controlled when pre-fabricated, providing quality assurance, and future maintenance and access can be considered from the outset to ensure efficient facilities management going forward. Effective partnering is the key to successful building services modularisation. SAS International is a leader in the provision of pre-fabricated solutions through its Integrated Service Module products, integrating chilled beam technology and other M&E services in one designed unit. Through our Modular Solutions division we offer a range of modules including:
1. Pump/pipe skid
2. Mechanical services riser
3. Main pipe work distribution module
4. Multi-service walled M&E module – unique and helps meet strict fire and acoustic ratings Modular fabrication also provides sustainability benefits through the reduction of site manpower and transference of assembly to SAS International’s manufacturing facility which reduces the transportation of materials and contractors. In-house manufacturing controls allow material cutting to be optimised and any waste can easily be managed and recycled as appropriate at the factory. With WRAP estimating that the cost of materials thrown away on-site totals £1.5bn per annum, modular pre-fabrication means less on-site wastage and materials damage and is helping contractors tackle this issue, whilst also delivering improved quality and quicker builds |
