EOS INVOLVEMENT

This prestigious project was the first time EOS worked in partnership with British Gas and therefore it was crucial for them to get involved at an early stage in order to provide their fully integrated service and support.

EOS were also able to liaise directly with Kier on the design elements which enabled the team to identify and iron out any potential issues early on and manage the main contractors expectations. Approved design and engineering was completed prior to arrival onsite. The EOS design team used BIM level 2 as standard to provide speed and accuracy with all sections supplied. Onsite variability was further eradicated by constant communication between the EOS technical team and the wider project delivery team.

This early involvement enabled the installers to accurately price based on the complete design, offering Kier complete reassurance. EOS provided SFS infill to a hot rolled steel frame for the three floor building. This was also the first project where EOS utilised their slotted head track DHT product which not only halved the number of fixings required, but dramatically reduced installation time and risk on site.

EOS also delivered onsite Toolbox Talks to ensure that the labour teams were fully trained in installing EOS systems and their new slotted head track deflection system. Regular site inspections meant that EOS were on hand to check that the installation quality matched that of the design and standard details throughout the project.
