SES Engineering Services has completed work on a multi-million pound mechanical and electrical (M&E) project in London.
More than 225 apartments across ten floors of the Plimsoll Building in King's Cross have been provided with M&E services.
The works were carried out in partnership with main contractor Carillion.
The development partnership leading the King's Cross regeneration development is creating 50 new buildings, close to 2,000 sustainable homes, 20 new streets and ten new public squares.
SES utilised off-site manufacturing and pre-fabrication techniques to design and install 255 service cupboards, one for each apartment, which incorporated all essential mechanical and electrical plant and equipment.
The installation's included a heat interface unit, heat recovery unit, underfloor heating manifolds, consumer unit, BT Home Hub and space for a washing machine.
In addition, the PRISM facility has delivered all of the main service risers covering seven riser shafts, each extending over 50m incorporating 3km of finished and tested pipework, ductwork and electrical containment.
Each was designed specifically with pre-fabrication in mind to deliver valuable efficiencies at every stage of the build.
Tim Cunningham, Regional Director for London and South East at SES, said: "This has been a challenging project but our site team have all worked exceptionally hard and remained positive to ensure that the project was handed over on time.
"Our PRISM facility is at the forefront of M&E installations, meaning we can offer the most effective solutions to even the most technically complex projects, adding real value to our clients.
Mr Cunningham added that SES's manufacturing and pre-fabrication techniques have resulted in a reduced forecasted construction period along with improved health and safety.
"The client team is delighted with the end result and we look forward to completing other projects in the area," he said.
