PROJECT CHALLENGES
The project required a complete mechanical plant room solution to serve the motor production facility while meeting the demands of a challenging construction programme.
Key challenges included:
- Meeting a tight construction programme without impacting the wider project schedule
- Coordinating a mezzanine structure originally intended to be designed and installed by a separate contractor
- Delivering a fully coordinated solution while maintaining quality, efficiency and programme certainty
PROJECT SOLUTION
Dutypoint designed and manufactured a bespoke packaged plant room to serve the facility’s LTHW and process chilled water systems. The fully integrated solution incorporated water source heat pumps, buffer vessels, pumps, pressurisation units, Category 5 booster systems, and side-stream filtration equipment, providing a complete mechanical package ready for installation and connection on site.
The supporting mezzanine steelwork was integrated into the plant room structure during design development, reducing material costs, improving programme efficiency, lowering the project’s carbon footprint and delivering a fully coordinated solution.
The plant room was manufactured under controlled factory conditions, ensuring consistent quality and enabling efficient installation on site. Offsite manufacture removed the plant room from the project’s critical path, allowing construction activities to progress in parallel while maintaining consistent factory-controlled quality.
THE RESULT
The completed packaged plant room was delivered as a fully integrated, factory-built solution that met the project’s programme and performance requirements. Integrating the mezzanine support structure into the plant room design reduced structural steel requirements, lowered material costs and improved the project’s carbon footprint. Offsite manufacture accelerated installation, removed the plant room from the critical construction path and delivered a high-quality solution that met the customer’s expectations.
