Two primary methods:
Top-down installation:
- Pod positioned prior to upper slab cast
- Integrated during structural phase
Post-structure rolling installation:
- Pod lifted to floor via crane/platform
- Rolled into final position
- Installed prior to façade completion
Installation methodology is defined during pre-construction coordination to align with building sequencing.
Other FAQs
How are pods protected during transport?
Bathroom pods are protected during transport through multiple protective measures. Each unit is fully shrink-wrapped in polyethylene, fitted with a temporary metal door, and supplied with additional protective sheeting. These measures safeguard the pods from weather exposure, handling damage, and short-term site storage risks. Condition is verified through a joint inspection upon delivery.
Are there dimensional or transport limitations?
Bathroom pods are typically delivered using standard UK trailers. One external dimension is generally kept under 2.45 m, while the second may extend up to 4 m. For larger configurations, split modular solutions or specialist transport arrangements are used. Transport planning is coordinated during the pre-construction stage to ensure alignment with site access strategy.
What are typical delivery lead times?
Delivery lead times for bathroom pods depend on whether a mock-up is required. With a mock-up, the process is typically around 17 weeks from order and final design approval, including 5 weeks for mock-up production and approval and 12 weeks for serial production and delivery. Without a mock-up, lead time is approximately 14 weeks from final design approval. Delivery sequencing is aligned with the site programme to support tower-by-tower installation planning.
