With the latest 3D technology, architects have flexible options for designing prefabricated service shafts in buildings – both new builds and renovations of multi-storey buildings, offices, hotels and terraced houses.
The architect has an important role in the design of the building, as service shafts take up a lot of space, which can present challenges when designing the interior of the building. The challenge lies especially in the location of the service access for subsequent operation and maintenance, as this also takes up valuable square metres.
Traditionally constructed shafts will need to be designed 10-15% larger than our prefabricated service shafts, as DS 452 Danish Standard for Thermal Insulation of Technical Installations requires more space between pipes – so the worker can access the insulation on site. This requirement does not apply at our factory, where work processes are optimised for safety and the working environment, including using the 5S model within Lean.
Traditional service shafts take up a lot of space, which can present challenges in terms of building layout. Standardised prefabricated service shafts allow the architect to make better use of space – they are 10-15% more compact than traditional service shafts and have service access from the bathroom, avoiding the need to take up valuable square metres elsewhere in the building.
Our prefabricated service shafts are designed with service access from the bathroom, allowing for greater flexibility in space utilisation compared to traditional installations. At the same time, the location facilitates access afterwards for operation and maintenance.
With a 3D IFC model, the architect gets the exact physical dimensions of the service shaft, eliminating the risk of the shaft being too big or too small.
Prefabricated service shafts add value throughout the project from the 100 % digital design phase, through installation and on to the subsequent operation and maintenance. You get a proven concept that contributes to sustainable construction, reduces design and construction time, and minimises subsequent operation and maintenance. In renovation projects, rehousing can be avoided as the installation and commissioning of the service shafts can be done within a short time.
We have chosen to lead the way in the construction industry by offering a unique solution where the prefabricated service shaft can be connected to the bathroom pod already at the factory, so both products are delivered and installed in the building as a complete plug & play solution.
On the one hand, no two shafts in residential construction today are almost identical, and on the other hand, the contents of the shafts are basically the same – yet service shafts are designed from scratch every time. With prefabricated service shafts for implementing the building’s technical installations, you don’t have to start from scratch with every project.
All our bathroom pods and service shafts can be included in sustainable construction at the highest levels as standard – it’s in our nature to be at the forefront of future requirements.
