UAE
– March 12, 2014 - Off-Site
Engineering Solutions LLC, a specialist
provider of pre-engineered MEP solutions with headquarters in Dubai,
has received an order from Drake and Scull (Saudi Arabia) to supply
prefabricated Multi Service Modules to the Jabal Omar Development in
Makkah, KSA. The scope will include services in the main corridors to
4 towers in the development.
The
Pre-Fabricated MEP multi-service modules will be produced in a
factory environment and require only 25% of the labor traditionally
used to complete these works on site, reducing the head count and
visa requirements substantially. The Multi Service MEP modules will
be delivered to site fully finished and will be manufactured in
Off-Site Engineering Solutions’ Jeddah workshop, close to the point
of use for maximum efficiency and speed of installation.
In
making the announcement Off-Site
Engineering Solutions CEO, Patrick
O'Callaghan said "Jabal Omar Phase 3 is our largest MEP
Prefabrication win to date and will include nearly 2,000
multi-service corridor modules. This high profile award is further
validation of our business and strengthens our claim that
prefabrication is the preferred procurement methodology for high
quality MEP systems where labour resources are scarce and there are
many repeated elements on typical floor plans. Off-Site
Engineering Solutions is
committed to serving the market in Saudi Arabia and making an impact
on the reduction of foreign labor required to deliver MEP projects
while opening up good job opportunities for KSA citizens."
Off-Site Engineering Solutions LLC have
previously provided Multiservice MEP
modules to Saudi Aramco’s KAPSARC project in Riyadh as well as to
other projects in the UAE such as Aldar’s Yas Mall and Central
Market Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
The
MEP modules will be produced
utilizing state of the art BIM modelling, design and manufacturing
technology. These modern and
efficient methods of prefabrication include Cellular manufacturing,
JIT (Just in Time), Kanban/Lean Techniques, Sub Assembly Kitting, TQM
(Total Quality Management) and monitoring of Key Performance
Indicators combined to drive down cost, time and waste and at the
same time increasing efficiency and predictability.
