Sustainability and Quality
Driven to deliver projects of the highest quality and committed to continued engineering sustainability progress.
Committed to excellence
Our commitment to both quality and sustainability practices is borne out in our day-to-day work. Led by our quality manager, our robust quality management system ensures all project work is delivered to the highest standards, underpinned by ISO certification. We’ve delivered multiple projects under the LEED framework. We continue to invest in engineering sustainability, with a number of significant ongoing projects aimed at minimising our environmental impact.

Embracing LEED Standards
We’ve completed multiple projects at both Gold and Platinum levels under the LEED Framework, which promotes healthy, efficient, and cost-effective building practices. The framework helps to ensure compliance across a numbers of key areas in the design and construction of buildings. Key LEED standards include:
- Minimum energy performance for equipment.
- Waste management and material selections to minimise waste and environmental impact.
- Improved indoor air quality with low-emitting materials.
- Enhanced acoustic performance.
- Innovation and cleanliness standards.

Proven Quality Process
Consistent, repeatable, reliable quality processes
Our dedicated fabrication facility operates under stringent quality control measures aligned with ISO9001 standards. Our detailed quality process is a repeatable step-by-step system that promotes consistency and reliability in all we deliver.
Step 1
Take-off sheet to commence the project.
A detailed take-off sheet initiates the workshop process and is used to meticulously track each stage of fabrication. Details captured include the exact specifications, fabrication standards, cleaning standards (typically to TR19 requirements) and material of construction.
Step 2
Thorough quality inspection.
On completion, the fabrication manager conducts a thorough quality inspection, verifying the order’s accuracy and integrity. Ducts are meticulously cleaned, capped, and accompanied by the take-off sheet during transit to the site.
Step 3
Delivery and verification.
On arrival to site, careful offloading procedures are followed to protect the ducts and ensure the integrity of end caps. The foreman cross-checks the delivery against the order sheet to confirm accuracy.
Step 4
Ongoing inspection.
Onsite quality engineers oversee ongoing inspections of ductwork, pipework, and equipment, ensuring adherence to standards throughout the project lifecycle.
