Is prefabrication to solution for the future? AIR CONDITIONING, COOLING & VENTILATION
Elta Fans explains why you should consider prefabricated ventilation solutions for your next project
F
or many years, it has been more common than not for development sites to have a disjointed ordering process for fans and associated products. This means that different parts of a ventilation system would be ordered and delivered from different suppliers, often causing site delays due to incompatible components arriving on site. And this isn’t the only issue with traditional methods. Alongside this, contained storage solutions can be hard to come by on an active construction site, especially in cities and sites with tight footprints. The outcome of this can be that fans and equipment are left for a substantial period of time in unsuitable environments. From inviting damp, mould, or water damage through to components being lost or stolen, the resulting complications can be very costly. Above all, safety concerns can arise when moving large pieces of industrial equipment on site. If an injury were to occur due to the fan, or associated system component, being mishandled or dropped, developers may face a substantial liability issue that could have been avoided. Ensuring site safety and the welfare of construction personnel is a top priority, so ensuring this is vital.
The rise of offsite construction
As the world continues to develop urban areas and other locations where space may be limited, modern methods of construction are being refined and implemented to tackle these challenges.
A popular solution that is being carried out by businesses is offsite construction. This
modern method of building allows aspects of the building process to be carried out in a controlled secondary facility instead of the primary site. With products delivered fully constructed when needed, site efficiency can be maximised, allowing workers to focus on other areas of the build. As many people in the industry are aware, offsite construction ultimately helps to enhance safety and efficiency, helping ensure tight deadlines are met and budgets adhered to. Thanks to the acceleration in offsite construction, it’s safe to say that it offers a modern solution to age-old problems. As a result, it is to no surprise that as more developers embrace this change, businesses need to move to lend a helping hand.
Accelerating the adoption of prefabricated solutions
It is clear that as a whole, the industry is embracing changes such as the implementation of offsite construction and ultimately reaping the benefits that it has to offer such as enhanced safety and site efficiency. Prefabs, short for Prefabricated Solutions, offer a game-changing approach to simplify and streamline your HVAC projects. Fans and ancillaries, including acoustic equipment, mounts, panels, flexible connections, fan controls, and more, can all be assembled offsite and delivered as a compliant assembly within a frame. This ready-to-crane-lift package ensures a quick, efficient and safe installation process. The overall goal at Elta is to be an extension of a contractor’s team, working closely through the design and manufacture process, so helping
deploy modern methods of construction like prefabricated ventilation solutions is the right step forward.
