Chill water Infrastructure upgrade

Our company proudly presents one of our outstanding HVAC projects, showcasing our commitment to excellence, innovation, and client satisfaction. The project, undertaken for a prestigious client in the pharmaceutical industry and it started with specific requirements and objectives in mind. Our team accepted this project with a clear vision to deliver a solution that would not only meet the needs of our client but also push the boundaries of what is possible in HVAC system design and installation in the very limited time given.

The project presented us with significant challenges that tested our team’s capabilities and pushed us to find innovative and practical solutions. There was a total of 2500m of steel pipework ranging in sizes from 300mm to 20mm and 20 tons of steel. There was an element of works which comprised of a structural steel frame with roof to cover the bunded area for the pumps and control valves.

This contract had a very tight timeframe of 5 weeks, and this emerged as a critical aspect of this project, demanding a highly efficient and streamlined approach. On the prefabricated structural steel pipe support framework, the pipework was installed to take the chilled water to all the different building within the facility.

During this process we used 12m lengths of 200mm pipework in order to cut down on site welding time. On week 4 of the project our structural steel skids complete with pipework valves and pumps were delivered to site. It took only 2hrs to offload and position them on top the bund wall.

This allowed a further 2 days to connect to the newly installed chiller and buffer vessel pipework and also the connection to the newly installed infrastructure pipework. Our highly specialised team committed to working long hours, using our expertise and determination to ensure timely completion without compromising on quality, which we highly value as company.

It took a huge effort from all our team on site and office to complete the project, which had several outstanding elements that set it apart from conventional HVAC installations.

Additionally, the project presented extreme difficulties of working within an existing live pharmaceutical plant. Disruption to ongoing operations was not an option, of course.

To overcome this obstacle, we have applied an ingenious strategy: prefabricating modular components off-site in our workshop which is fitted with up-to-date innovative equipment, able to cope with the high volume of work presented to us. By utilizing this approach, we minimized the potential for disruptions and ensured seamless integration with the live plant upon installation.

By using advanced BIM technology, such as point cloud scans and 3d modelling we were able to accurately design the prefabricated modules and apply a comprehensive Fabrication and Quality Control / Quality Assurance prosses. This allowed us to streamline the production process and maintain our commitment to quality and precision.

We were fully operational within limited time of being connected, minimizing disruptions, and ensuring maximum productivity.
