Tasks

Installing cable tray, basket and ladder overhead involves sustained work at height with tools, fixings and containment sections above other trades, plus cutting and drilling noise.

Installing ceiling grids, tiles and above-ceiling services combines overhead work, dropped components and power tool use above other trades.

Installing unistrut framing and bracketry involves overhead drilling into concrete, anchor loads and power tool use above other trades.

Installing rack frames and support steel inside data halls involves heavy sections, overhead fixing and drilling, grinding and screwing in enclosed space.

Installing air handling units and plant involves very heavy modules, machine lifting into tight plant rooms and power tool work around the unit.

Installing ductwork involves large sections handled overhead, sharp sheet edges and cutting, drilling and grinding above other trades.

Installing chilled water and condensate pipework involves heavy pipe at height, threading and grinding, and future pressure in the completed system.

Installing sprinkler pipework involves heavy pipe overhead, threading and grooving machinery, and a system that is later filled and pressurised.

Installing detection pipework, detectors and panels involves overhead drilling and work that continues into rooms with live systems as commissioning progresses.

Installing dampers in duct penetrations combines overhead work, spring-loaded mechanisms and drilling and cutting at the slab or wall line.

Excavation work combines ground collapse exposure, plant movement and buried services.

Trenching creates long open excavations with collapse exposure and repeated entry by operatives.

Erecting structural steel combines crane lifts, work at height, heavy sections being landed and bolted, and grinding and welding.

Building partitions and bulkheads involves boards and framing handled at height, repetitive drilling and cutting and heavy material movement.
