PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Kirby was responsible for the installation of mechanical services for a new industrial manufacturing facility in an existing warehouse.

The facility included warehousing, indoor tanking for manufacturing, external tank farm and an external chiller yard. The existing building floor area was increased to accommodate the new facility mezzanine level AHU plant room.

Fabrication drawings were developed using BIM.  A significant proportion of pipework, including pipe modules, were prefabricated off-site which reduced the requirement for on-site welding.
