Pump and water-system rooms
Enclose pumps, treatment equipment or irrigation controls in a room with useful service access. Floor supports, pipe penetrations, drainage details and equipment-removal openings are arranged around the operating layout.
Custom fabrication · Buildings & transportable spaces
Plant rooms built around the equipment and the people servicing it.
Plant-room buildings
Bring the equipment enclosure, working clearances and maintenance access together in one custom metal building. We fabricate plant rooms with a metal base, floor, walls and roof, coordinating doors, ventilation openings, service entries and internal supports around the complete mechanical or electrical project.

04 / The practical details
Questions about custom metal plant rooms and equipment buildings.
Can you help with the complete plant-room project?
Yes. Bring the whole brief, including the equipment and intended operating layout. Matt can scope the fabricated building and internal metalwork alongside the relevant designer, equipment supplier and trades, with responsibilities and handover requirements agreed before manufacture.
How is this different from a pump cover?
A plant room provides a serviceable space around an equipment installation, including doors, floor structure and routes for people and replacement parts. A small removable cover may be enough for a single pump; the room is for a larger coordinated installation.
Can the room be made for specified fire, acoustic or environmental requirements?
Yes. Matt has extensive compliance and rated-fabrication experience. Supply the required performance and system details so the construction, insulation or lining, ventilation treatment and verification can be agreed for that particular building.
Can equipment be fitted before the room reaches site?
Yes, where that suits the delivery plan. The assembly sequence, total transport weight, restraint points and access to final connections need to be planned together so the fitted module can be handled and connected as intended.
