Prefabricated Integrated Services Modules
SES PRISM is the off-site manufacturing arm of Shepherd EngineeringServices (SES), one of the leading providers of building servicessolutions in the UK.
With a strong engineering heritage, SES PRISM has led the way in realising the benefits of prefabrication, modularisationand off-site construction of building services across a wide range of industry sectors. Specialising in the design, manufactureand installation of building services modules, we have established a solid reputation for technical excellence,project efficiency, and a guaranteed commitment to quality.
Construction sites can be inefficientThe traditional lack of control of information, materials and manpower inevitably lead to delay, disruption and increased cost.On an average site, over 50% of the working day is lost to poor productivity and delays*. Furthermore only 63%of site-based construction projects are delivered on time and only 49% delivered to budget**.*source BSRIA, **source BCIS/RICS.

Why SES PRISM?The evolution of the construction industry demands that buildingsare delivered more economically, within shorter time frames,more cost effectively and with reduced impact to the naturalenvironment. In response, SES PRISM offers you an effectiveand proven solution for today’s construction needs.

Off-site quality
Quality guaranteedWe help you deliver certainty in quality by taking the complex assembly ofM&E services into a more controlled environment. Based at our manufacturingcentre in York, our operatives benefit from working at bench height in a well-lit,safe, dry and controlled environment. Our skill base is a balanced mixture ofspecifically trained assembly operatives and industry experienced professionals,and when combined, have a direct impact on quality and efficiency.
Delivering quality, on time, every time.

“SES PRISM’s extensive use of prefabrication has added real value to our project,particularly their phenomenal rate of progress within the service spine. They havecertainly assisted the project with the sequencing of follow-on trades in zones thatwould generally have suffered from poor productivity. I have no doubt that this isthe future of M&E installations and SES PRISM is definitely at the forefront.”

Off-site solutionsThrough first class engineering and design, we will build our product,and your project, efficiently and effectively - right first time, every time.
By being involved at an early stage, we provide our clients with a virtual prototype of their project, andwith the use of 3D technology we also offer project stakeholders the opportunity to ‘walk through’ theirproject in virtual reality. This enables early assessment of spatial co-ordination and access requirementsbefore a single operative sets foot on site. And because we are confident of the fit, you can be confidentof your costs and timescales.
The use of the latest techniques in CAD and 3D visualisation enables us to spatially co-ordinateservices, eliminate service clashes and maintain clear access for installation and maintenance.
Disruption and downtime on site is also reduced through minimised rework and revisits.
By interfacing our CAD systems directly with our procurement and labour planning system, wegenerate detailed material schedules and labour plans, enabling us to minimise waste procurementand really drive the standardisation of components.
The level of detail to which our manufacturing information is engineered ensures world-classstandards in productivity.

"Working with SES PRISM has been a really positiveexperience. The co-ordination of the design and the 3Dmodelling has been excellent. Modularisation has resultedin less labour on site and ultimately a project that has beeneasier to manage. Thanks to the use of 3D visualisationand off-site construction, we managed to deliver thisproject on time and within budget"
Mick Bodecott | Project Leader | Shepherd Construction
"The prefabrication strategy on the PR&D project wasone of the main project successes. The alliance teamworked together in an excellent co-ordinated effort tomanufacture 340 multi-service modules consisting ofmechanical pipework and ductwork alongside electricalcable tray. The modules were all finished, lagged andinspected off-site. They were then delivered to siteahead of the programme where they were installed onthe open lab floor plate like large pieces of a jigsaw."

So you know you are in safe hands
Employees in the building industry are more likelyto be seriously injured at work than those in anyother sector*.
As one of the first companies in our industry toachieve the prestigious OHSAS 18001:1999accreditation from the British Standards Institute(a world renowned standard for excellence inoccupational health and safety management),safety is paramount in everything we do.
SES PRISM reduces the risks associated with:
/ Working at height/ Hot works/ Open riser shafts/ Manual handling/ Trade congestion/ Poor housekeeping/ Trips slips and falls
We replace hazardous site operations with plannedand controlled manufacturing processes, and byoperating under factory conditions, our highly skilledteam ensure that safety policies and procedures areimplemented and adhered to.* Source HSE
Safety first - without compromise
The London Clinic | Cancer Centre
"At SES PRISM we realise thatsafety is paramount on everyproject. So, by building modulesand skids we can reduce ourlabour on site by up to 60%,which allows us to better controlthe working environment and inturn considerably reduce anyassociated health and safetyrisks."
Steve JoyceNon-Executive DirectorSES PRISM
Off-site safety
Off-site innovationLeading innovation in off-site servicesWe recognise that standardisation is difficult to achieve within the construction industry. Whilst we wouldall benefit from applying a standard set of pre-designed modules on every project, we are aware thatsome projects require a bespoke approach. Our expertise and flexibility enables us to design the mostefficient and innovative solution for every project, however complex.
As well as integrating multiple trades within fully finished and tested modules, such as wet pipe work,ventilation, electrical services, gases and fire protection, we also incorporate non M&E trades includingraised floors, walls, fire and acoustic barriers, false ceilings and bulk heads.

Off-sitesustainabilityReduce the carbon footprint of your building
The current economic climate presents us all withnew challenges to deliver cost effective projects.Add this to the increasing pressure to reduce ourcarbon footprint, and you’ll find that the role of offsite manufacturing goes a lot further than simplyreducing timescales and costs.
Sustainable advantages
/ Better building performance/ 85% less waste than traditional site methods*/ Greater control of waste recycling/ Reduced noise and pollution/ Deliveries that always maximise the availablevehicle space
/ Reduction in traffic through fewerdaily site commutes
In recognition of our approach to sustainability,SES PRISM is accredited to the internationalenvironmental standard ISO 14001:2004by the British Standards Institute (BSi).

"Costain are delighted to encourage and assist SES in their off-site pre-fabricationinitiatives. We fully recognise the impact that off-site prefabrication has on our siteswith reduced man hours, reduced SHE site issues, reduced waste and all theassociated reduced traffic to and from site. All this has recently been recognisedand delivered by SES PRISM on the Costain Spalding Three Shires project."
Lee Bateson | Costain M&E Supply Chain Manager | Costain
“We’ve worked with SES at Piccadilly Place, Manchester for the past four years, and undertaken four very successfulprojects - all of which made extensive use of SES PRISM, delivering excellent and cost effective off-site solutions.Their experience and innovative approach to product development has consistently taken prefabrication to the nextlevel with each successive project. There is no doubt that SES PRISM has been a major contributor to the successof Piccadilly Place, from the reduction of risk to enhancing our drive for zero accidents.”
