YASA Bicester Motion

YASA Bicester Motion
Project overview / 01

Engineering for a demanding environment.

The YASA development brings together three interconnected industrial buildings accommodating research and development laboratories, component testing, production facilities and supporting offices.

Working under Mala Engineering, MPH delivered an extensive mechanical and public health installation package, integrating heating and cooling distribution with domestic water, drainage and terminal equipment connections.

The engineering / 02

Complex services. Considered installation.

01 / Distribution

Heating, cooling and public health systems.

MPH's package encompassed low-temperature hot water (LTHW), chilled water (CHW), domestic water distribution, above-ground drainage, condensate pipework and sanitary installations.

Pipework up to 2 inches in diameter connected with larger prefabricated distribution systems installed by others, serving a substantial network of terminal heating and cooling equipment throughout the development.

02 / Coordination

Managing interfaces across three buildings.

Multiple trades operating across shared working areas required careful sequencing, equipment coordination and site access planning. Connections to FCUs and AHUs demanded particular attention to installation geometry, maintainability and available service clearances.

MPH worked with the Mala site team to address evolving equipment interfaces and respond to changes in construction sequencing while maintaining progress across the installation areas.

03 / Fabrication

Bespoke solutions for plantroom equipment.

MPH's scope also included the design and fabrication of two bespoke cold water storage tank support frames. Their configuration accommodated booster equipment beneath the tanks while preserving essential access and headroom for maintenance.

This project-specific fabrication work required an understanding of plantroom spatial constraints, equipment layout and long-term servicing requirements.

04 / Delivery

Supporting a demanding 16-week programme.

Delivery required effective labour deployment, material planning and coordination across multiple building zones. MPH's installation activities included pipework pressure testing and close management of interfaces between prefabricated and site-installed sections.

The project demonstrates MPH's capability to execute specialist mechanical and public health packages within complex industrial environments.
