Lean Construction Ireland Annual Book of Cases 2021 88 Case 24 Containerised Electrical Plant Rooms (Location:Northern Holland;Project:Confidential Data Centre.)The main objective specific to the project brief for the electrical capital plant was to maximise the OSM approach and design external electrical containerised plant rooms mounted on an external gantry. Taking this approach greatly increases the amount of commissioning that can be achieved off-site, and all of the projects savings noted above were all achieved from reduction of off-site labour to minimising QAQC issues usually found on-site during Level 3 commissioning.

Jones Engineering DFMA Portfolio In summary, Jones Engineering recognises the responsibility to advise on best practice, efficient and economic proposals, and alternative options, as well as cost saving and value engineering suggestions during the Early Engagement Process. We believe that both the design and construction route benefit from close collaboration as early as the BOD stage by all Project partners.This collaborative early engagement approach ensures that the design under development is based on sound construction methodology and that time is allocated to consider, identify, and advise on the best construction route based on the developing design, price, and quality. Jones Engineering work with a number of clients in the Life Science, Data Centre, and Microelectronic sectors wherein the timescale between BOD to Facility Ready (FR) is under increasing pressure to reduce, thus increasing the need and essential requirement to maximise the utilisation of OSM and DFMA. To accompany a global reach with state-of-theart DFMA facilities, the real strength lies with our people and our teams.With our approach, our experience, our in-house working practices and in-house early collaboration to ensure all project DFMA goals are realised, and with our real-world belief that OSM and DFMA implementation can only benefit our projects on multiple fronts. The unison and the inter-working relationships, collaboration, and understanding of the project benefits of DFMA between both the Jones Engineering Manufacturing Teams and the wider Jones Engineering Mechanical & Electrical delivery teams across all working sectors, is the true power house to our DFMA journey and success.We adopt the early engagement approach in-house within Jones Engineering Group, and identify our collective clients’ requirements and project-specific DFMA targets.We then maximise our client targets with internal Jones Engineering Group collaboration between Jones Engineering Manufacturing Facilities and the wider Jones Engineering Technical Sectors, along with external early collaboration with all project partners, to realise the shared project goals.
