Off-Site Manufacture
More sustainable than traditional on-site methods
Off-site manufacture is more sustainable than traditional on-site methods.
It helps to address issues such as site congestion, health and safety, waste reduction and transport costs, all of which help to reduce emissions. This reduces both the cost and carbon footprint of a construction project.NG Bailey first established a prefabrication division in 2000, to allow for the design and delivery of cost and time-effective building services. Now a clear leader in this field, the Bailey Off-Site facility is a 53,500 sq ft factory.
Co-founders of Buildoffsite
NG Bailey is one of the co-founders of Buildoffsite and through Bailey Off-Site, is heralding a new way of bringing buildings to life.
Traditionally the UK construction industry has been resistant to change. Mechanical and electrical contractors have been expected to simply make things 'fit' and it was assumed that they would be able to work around problems and poor information to make systems work.NG Bailey has challenged this, offering pre-assembled mechanical and electrical modules for building installation for the last seven years. The company has invested over £5million in the UK's largest off-site building services manufacturing capability. The company has provided specialist off-site solutions for a number of prestigious projects, for organisations including Home Office and BP.
Putting Off-Site into practice
NG Bailey is also currently providing the mechanical and electrical services for two new hospitals in Merseyside
These are part of a PFI project worth in total approximately £430m, with the value of NG Bailey's contract worth in excess of £120 million.The project incorporates a substantial amount of off-site manufacture, incorporating £6million worth of prefabricated M&E service modules. The division is manufacturing 2,000 large modules for the hospital's corridors, including duct work, pipework, and medical gasses and electrical containment, as well as 8,000 smaller modules for the wards and rooms in the hospitals.
