Here’s something interesting, we have a pre fabrication shop within our company. They made this portable mock up sink to show the intended finished product for a hospital project we won.
We also pre fab entire toilet carrier systems. They are installed onto thick angle iron. We’ve used this for a few high rises the last four years. The carriers are brought to the site on a flat bed truck and the tower crane picks them up to the needed floor. We move them into place using heavy dollies and lever dollies.
Our 10 gallon water heaters are pre fabbed with ex tank installed by a bracket on the side or top, valve, vac breaker, drain, unions. Much quicker to install on site. I don’t have a pic of one, yet.
I could say more about our BIM department and using a Tremble to triangulate any point, accuracy to a 1/16”. No longer pulling strings for underground. We also use this technology to install ceiling anchors in the top of the metal decking before the concrete is poured. It can be very accurate if the BIM project manager inputs correct measurements.
On a BIM project most pipe is cut and labeled with most fittings needed attached. Hangers are pre cut and labeled as well. Each section has a spool sheet which is like Lego instructions. It’s a money saving system.
I’ll take a few more pictures to share later.
