Specwall has strengthened its UK manufacturing capability through a new partnership with Oranmore Precast.
The exclusive partnership marks an important milestone for the business, bringing additional manufacturing capability closer to the customers and projects we support across the UK.
But what does that mean for our customers?
Greater manufacturing flexibility
Working with Oranmore Precast gives Specwall additional UK manufacturing capability and greater flexibility in how we support customer requirements.
Having manufacturing capability closer to UK projects also creates opportunities for shorter lead times and gives our team greater visibility throughout the manufacturing process.
For architects, contractors, developers and consultants, it means Specwall is in a stronger position to respond to the requirements of projects across the country.
Closer collaboration
A strong manufacturing partnership is about more than production capacity.
Working closely with Oranmore Precast allows our teams to collaborate throughout the manufacturing process, creating a closer connection between our technical expertise and manufacturing.
That gives us greater oversight and allows both teams to work together to maintain the quality and performance expected from Specwall systems.
Supporting British manufacturing
The partnership also reinforces our commitment to British manufacturing and the UK construction industry.
Oranmore Precast brings established precast manufacturing experience and capability, while Specwall brings its knowledge of advanced prefabricated wall systems and the requirements of architects, contractors and developers.
Together, we have an opportunity to build a long-term manufacturing relationship that supports the continued growth of Specwall in the UK.
Supporting our sustainability objectives
Bringing manufacturing closer to UK projects also has the potential to reduce transportation distances for UK-manufactured panels.
This supports our wider sustainability objectives and will form part of our future Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) assessments as we continue to understand and improve the environmental performance of our systems.
Supporting more efficient construction
Specwall provides advanced prefabricated wall systems designed to support Modern Methods of Construction.
Factory-manufactured panels are delivered ready for installation, providing an alternative to traditional blockwork, drywall and SFS.
Time and motion studies have shown that Specwall can reduce the labour hours required for installation by more than 55%, helping reduce labour requirements and improve installation efficiency on site.
Our systems can be used across a wide range of applications and sectors, including healthcare, education, residential, commercial, leisure, data centres, industrial, infrastructure and the public sector.
Our product range also includes Specshaft. Using A1 non-combustible panels, Specshaft provides a smoke shaft solution that has been fully tested to BS EN 1366-1 and BS EN 1366-8.
What happens next?
Our partnership with Oranmore Precast gives us a strong platform from which to continue developing Specwall and supporting customers across the UK.
Our business development and technical teams will continue to work with architects, contractors, developers and consultants, providing specification advice, drawing reviews, CPDs and project support.
