Other FAQs
How are pods positioned on site?
The text explains two main methods for positioning pods on site: top-down installation, where pods are placed before the upper slab is cast and integrated during the structural phase, and post-structure rolling installation, where pods are lifted into place by crane or platform and rolled into position before façade completion. The chosen method is determined during pre-construction coordination to match the building sequence.
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.
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.
