  • With the incorporation of very high efficiency, low carbon and renewable technologies, the Adveco Packaged Plant Room is a practical and cost-effective external system for heating and hot water applications.
  • At Adveco, we have unbeatable experience designing and supplying these fully bespoke commercial systems for all kinds of new build and refurbishment projects.

Offsite Construction

  • Offsite construction, or pre-fabrication, is a tried and tested way of bringing mechanical and electrical systems to a live construction site, countering the challenges of complexity, limited space, limited time and the need to work around other contractors.
  • Adveco will size, design, and manufacture bespoke Packaged Plant Room enclosures suitable for placement beside or on top of buildings with a flat roof space. When delivered to the project location, the plant room module can be easily sited, requiring just external pipework and final electrical connections to be completed.
  • By manufacturing hot water, heating and low carbon systems away from the job in our purpose-built facility, Adveco’s offsite construction makes things on-site much easier.

The Advantages of Adveco Packaged Plant Rooms

  • Working with Adveco ensures the best results from an offsite construction approach to your project
  • The proper coordination of equipment and controls is the most difficult aspect of modern application design.
  • Adveco combines that understanding with a wide product offering and experience in full system design to provide a single source of supply for the delivery of complete heating and hot water systems tailored precisely to fit the specific needs of a project.
  • We carry out all work in our controlled, purpose-made environment. Should there be any forced downtime on site due to external factors, the assembly work at Adveco will continueas planned. With no distractions from other typical construction site activities or issues, we can ensure your plant room work is more rapidly progressing.
  • Our factory environment ensures improved manufacture with optimal conditions provided for quality control, unlike the general conditionsfound on a typical construction site.
  • By locating all production work offsite, the plant room element of a project can efficiently progress at the same time as other groundworks or site installations. Without the need to fit extended plumbing and electrical installation in with other activities on site the overall project delivery schedule can be reduced.
  • The plant room arrives with all appliances, controls and ancillaries pre-fitted and connected – using stainless steel (heating) or copper (DHW) crimp pipework – as standard.
  • With an Adveco Packaged Plant Room ready to be placed immediately upon delivery we can drastically reduce on-site labour demands and support rapid progression of project timescales.

A Smarter Approach

  • Adopting offsite pre-fabrication as part of your project is highly advantageous. To achieve the best results, you will need to finalize facets of decision-making relating to hot water, heating or cogeneration of power early on in the project to allow for increased lead-in times.
  • Once production commences it becomes more difficult to accommodate changes to a bespoke pre-fabricated system. This is why Adveco’s expert design engineers will work closely from the start with your project team to accurately size and design a system that meets the exact needs of the project on day of delivery.
  • Design support includes the option to request a 3D BIM model of major component locations with supporting pipework schematics. Or, full 3D modeling including all pipework, to give a full visualisation of a project before manufacturing commences.
