Compliance, competence, safety – these are no longer ‘nice-to-have’, but requirements.

Tested channel systems – we’ve spoken about these so much, I wouldn’t blame you if you’re tired of hearing of them or even view them as a fad!

If you’re reading this, you are likely to be in the M&E sector and are aware of the growing legislation within the sector; especially with regard to the new Building Safety Act and how it calls for greater accountability and evidence.

Evidence is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ in M&E; it’s a requirement.

When it comes to M&E support installations, one of the most important components is channel (as I’m sure you know if you’re reading this!).

The Building Safety Act was given Royal Assent just this past April, and it has already been dubbed ‘the biggest piece of legislation in construction in over 50 years’ by industry experts.

Changes are happening in our sector. There's no denying that.

The construction industry is dealing with a changing landscape.

Whether you notice it or not, galvanizing plays a huge part in all of our lives, be it directly or indirectly. And this is particularly true if you’re in the M&E industry (seeing as you’re on this page, I’m assuming you are!).

“Is this bracket fire-rated?”

As an M&E contractor, you know that the construction industry by its very nature is dangerous, and that’s why it’s highly regulated.

You’ve likely heard of the 2050 Net Zero target of operating 100% of all buildings without emitting any carbon.

The M&E sector is evolving, and if you feel like it’s hard to stay ahead of the constant changes and revised best practice, that’s understandable.

If you’re thinking of working at MIDFIX, you might wonder what makes us the right partner for you; and understandably so.

How do you know you’ve picked the most optimal plant support frame for your rooftop projects? What if you’ve been over-engineering; going above and beyond what you need?

As the M&E and Construction industry continues to make changes in order to improve and develop, we as MIDFIX and M&E specialists, decided to think of innovative ways to optimise bracketry designs.

‘Tested channel systems’ is slowly but surely becoming a recognised term in M&E.

In M&E, some organisations in the supply chain offer a CAD Design service, and they make it easy to assume that they are the answer to all of your needs when it comes to bracketry design.

Technology is ever-changing and advancing, now more than ever, and innovations span across all sectors and industries. Construction and engineering are no exception to this rule, with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) being the most notable and...

Decking fixings are a product in M&E that isn’t widely discussed.

Tested channel systems – we’ve spoken about them before. We know that they may be the ‘way forward’ in M&E and construction in general, what with the strive for a safer future focused on compliant installations, testing, evidence and system...
