As a leader in trade and main contracting solutions, Ardmac delivers data centre, microelectronic, pharmaceutical, med-tech and commercial spaces. It has worked on projects for over 80% of global FDI pharma and technology companies in Ireland and Europe, most recently on cleanroom projects for WuXi, Abbvie and Boston Scientific, and hyperscale data centres across Europe.

Modern methods of construction

Ardmac believes that the construction ecosystem of the future will be a more standardised, consolidated and integrated construction process, where modular assemblies and entire modular buildings will be much more common.

In the past couple of years, Ardmac welcomed Cental in to the group. Cental is a leading and fast-growth provider of advanced modular infrastructure to the data centre, pharma, utilities and telecoms industries.

Cental’s manufacturing capability supports Ardmac’s ongoing agreement with US-based Germfree Laboratories to provide prefabricated turnkey modular cleanrooms and biosafety laboratories to the biopharma and healthcare sectors throughout Europe. It also provides a manufacturing base for all other Ardmac modular solutions under one roof. The combined expertise and resources enhance Ardmac’s capabilities as a leading provider of offsite modular solutions to its clients in the data centre, pharmaceutical, healthcare and advanced manufacturing sectors while opening up new solutions for commercial fit-out clients.

Ardmac Safety First ethos

Ardmac’s “Safety First” programme significantly contributes to its excellent safety performance. The programme is designed to embed a safety-conscious mindset with continuous improvement.

Ardmac Working Smart

The Ardmac philosophy is to “Work Smart”, meaning it deploys innovative technology throughout the business to empower its people, drive performance and delight its customers.

In Working Smart, Ardmac combines the three pillars of the Last Planner System (LPS), its field management software (FMS) and building information modelling (BIM). By implementing these tools and processes on all projects, the company has built a strong foundation for success. The systems ensure information flows seamlessly to its teams and clients, with streamlined workflows providing a single source of truth and enabling high-performance decision-making.
