Sustainable Delivery

For this project, the construction carbon footprint reduction achieved by off-site factory production is further enhanced by the onsite savings in personnel and deliveries and coupled with reduction in waste disposal gives the HybriDfMA Frames solution a major environmental benefit compared to full on-site construction processes.

Kier estimated that there was a reduction of over 500 lorry deliveries to the site due to the System being used, and an overall reduction in dead weight of the structure more than 3,000 tonnes of reinforced concrete compared to the initial in situ concrete option.

At its peak the total PCE workforce on-site was only 28 personnel and with start to completion of the assembly taking only eight months a saving of over 2,500 site operative weeks resulted when compared to an equivalent in situ concrete solution.
