Offsite Manufacturing (OSM)

NUGENT utilise MMC, DFMA, Offsite manufacturing & lean construction techniques for first-class project delivery.

NUGENT see OSM as a key benefit to the delivery of exceptional MEP projects. With the benefit of early engagement, our design teams work closely with our OSM department to highlight the potential systems that can be fabricated offsite.

 

Quality

We endeavour to utilise OSM modular methods where possible. Designing, planning, manufacturing & the pre-assembly of components prior to arriving on site has multiple benefits for the project. The OSM is constructed at our Pomeroy HQ factory, tested & commissioned before they arrive on site, providing the highest quality service by our experienced team of engineers & technicians.

Key benefits of OSM include increase productivity, enhancing quality control, reducing impact to the environment.

Scheduling Benefits

Offsite Manufacturing involves pre-planning and developing the entire system. This includes all hook-up and finishing touches of the system allowing maximum efficiency in scheduling. While our team are working on site our prefabrication are simultaneously preparing the system to be delivered to site at the exact moment required.

Depending on size the arrival of the Offsite Manufacturing work completed in the factory can save days or weeks off of the installation process.

Smaller Numbers

When working in our facility, we are able to fully maximize the safety of the workers. The controlled environment in the shop allows for bench-height work. Our shop is designed to make it safer for our skilled craftsmen to work on mechanical equipment. Contrast that to on-site work where you will find tight fits, pinch injury opportunities, and overhead work with the inherent danger in working on ladders. By utilizing prefabricated mechanical systems for our projects, we are able to reduce the number of workers in tight, confined spaces making for a safer overall work-site.

Safety for Workers

Prefabrication of mechanical systems also allow us to reduce the number of workers needed on-site. This helps to lower costs associated with the site and reduce the potential for scheduling conflicts. By moving some of the work into our fabrication facility, we can operate with a smaller focused team, especially in the last phase of construction, when the time being spent is critical.
