Oceans Estate, Tower Hamlets

I-MEX (M&E) Ltd were engaged by Higgins Construction to design, install and commission the mechanical services in 225 residential units for East Thames Housing Group.

The project consisted of a central basement plantroom serving 3 blocks of residential units inclusive of private, shared and affordable tenure. I-MEX (M&E) Ltd have undertaken the entire mechanical services systems, installation of the main services plantroom, the LTHW risers and BCWS risers along with the services within each apartment.

I-MEX welcomed new supply chain members to install the pipework services on this project and as part of the quality procedure to ensure the new sub-contractors are aware of our standards; we created benchmark areas for review prior to commencement of the mechanical installation.

These benchmark areas, including riser sections and concealed services, were reviewed by the site management team, project manager and directors of the business to enable I-MEX to be satisfied of the quality and compliance before multiple sections were installed. Once the team were satisfied, the new subcontractor was instructed to proceed.
