MODULARREQUIREMENTS

Two of the most important requirements for anyconstruction project are programme and costcertainty. Construction site environments, wherethere may be difficulty with site access, security,limited supervision, health and safety concernsand changeable weather conditions, can make the control of labour costs, build time and qualityparticularly difficult.

By prefabricating the bathrooms and having them delivered to site at a pre-specified date, at an agreed cost and with quality assured,construction sites benefit hugely by removing the uncertainty of on-site construction.

Paddington manufactures bathroom pods in acontrolled factory environment, allowing absolutecontrol of quality, operatives and programme. Our ‘just in time’ philosophy means we producedifferent pod types exactly in sequence with clientrequirements, so eliminating unnecessary delays to the construction programme.

BATHROOM PODSDESIGN PROCESSAND MANUFACTURING

As in most modern manufacturing facilities,Paddington utilises a production line methodology.Each pod is uniquely identified throughout theproduction process allowing for close controls to be applied and ensuring full traceability.

Pods are manufactured in sequence with thedelivery schedule and pass through a number of stages in which operations and quality arestrictly controlled.

A typical concern voiced when considering theuse of pods is the level of finish that may beexpected compared to traditionally producedbathrooms. At Paddington we work closely withdesigners, engineers and suppliers to producepods that, when installed, are indistinguishablefrom the highest finish levels and performance of any traditionally built bathroom.

Our engineers and designers work closely with theclient’s design team and architects to ensure thatthe client’s requirements are accurately representedin detailed manufacturing drawings, as well astaking account of practicalities to produce a podthat is functional and easy to maintain.

We also work closely with the construction and mechanical and electrical teams to facilitateinstallation and interfacing with the rest of theconstruction project.

As part of the design process, we recommendthat a prototype is produced prior to fullproduction sign-off. Normally, a prototype can be produced ready for viewing within eight weeksof placing the order.

In summary, we use our experience and expertiseto fully realise each client’s original design conceptin a pod that is practical and serviceable andaesthetically pleasing.

BATHROOM PODSQUALITY CONTROLINSTALLATION ANDTRANSPORTATION

Paddington recognises that ensuring all our podsare manufactured to the highest quality standards is essential for a successful programme.The overriding benefit of utilising a productionline methodology within a controlled factoryenvironment is that it allows us to apply tried and tested quality controls throughout themanufacturing process.

PRODUCTION CONTROL CARDS

Each pod is uniquely identified and has its ownproduction control card throughout the process.This identifies and records the materials andprocesses that have been applied to the podduring each stage of manufacture.

SEQUENTIAL CONTROL

As each pod passes along the production line, the standard of work from the previous section is checked before any further work is undertaken.This ensures any errors are highlighted andcorrected before they can be compounded.

MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL TESTING

All pods are fully tested and certified prior to final inspection.

FINAL INSPECTION

Each pod is fully checked for final finish andcompliance with testing procedures prior to wrapping.

TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS

Prior to shipment, our pods are wrappedin heavy gauge plastic to protect themfrom the elements, both during transportand when on site.

The pods are designed to allowmovement by forklift or vertical crane.Once the pods have arrived on site wesupply specially designed jack-wheelsthat can be easily fitted to the pod. The wheels then allow the pods to be moved to their final position easilyand efficiently, requiring the minimumof clearance.
