MRS supports 40% faster installation for major construction programme

4th September 2024 | 1 min read

The Challenge

Unipart was asked to support the construction of new luxury apartments in London with our slim floor precast beam solution.

The apartments are located just 10 minutes walk from the iconic Wembley stadium in London, Regal London’s Fulton and Fifth residential development comprises five high rise residential towers with mixed-use retail and commercial units on the first few levels creating a vibrant live-work hub for residents.

The Solution

Unipart worked collaboratively with PCE Ltd to supply Manufacturing Reinforcement System (MRS) precast slim floor beams for the construction of two of the high-rise blocks. MRS is an optimised way to make concrete construction components stronger including beams, columns, walls and foundations.

Integrating seamlessly with PCE’s Hybrid DfMA system, beams were delivered to site ‘just in time’, ready to be hoisted and installed immediately as part of a tightly controlled site construction programme.

PCE’s site team have praised the slim floor beams for their ease of installation and increased rigidity compared with other options, which made their job easier and contributed towards a faster, safer more efficient build programme.

The total programme consisted of 15 months.

What sets Unipart apart as a specialist supply chain partner is their collaborative design and manufacturing approach. Their advanced digital design approach enables them to design, manufacture, test, and install products that align with, and support the principles of our HybriDfMA construction systems.

With MRS products, like the pre-cast Slim Floor Beam, we see significant benefits including reduced carbon footprint, high-quality off-site production and, working with a UK manufacturing partner, the agility we need to successfully deliver faster, safer, and more sustainable construction programmes.
