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.of modules and just 10% of onsite installations, which means a smaller team of operatives on site, working more efficiently..
Consistency and precision of design, fabrication and installation means the exposed M&E services are symmetrical, aligned and in repeated patterns.The services are, for once, making a positive contribution to the aesthetic of the building..
The story of M&E and P-DfMA at the Forge is one of coordination not compromise between the different elements of the design, construction and operation of this ground-breaking building.
As mentioned, by including M&E engineers within the integrated project team from the very earliest stages, and throughout, we achieve significant benefits..lends itself to the use of Configurators, which can be designed by our.
Creative Technologies.team, to automate the design process..
This isn’t a necessity – many clients have reported that just the process of defining and writing down their own rules processes is valuable, and the manual test fits are already far quicker than bespoke designs..However, codifying these rules to drive an algorithmic or computational design process, results in a dramatic increase in the speed and quality of adapting Reference Design to a myriad of constraints and needs.
