Welcome to Exyte Hargreaves

Trust Exyte Hargreaves to combine complex engineering with a customer focus.

We look forward to working with you.

Thank you for considering Exyte Hargreaves for your next construction engineering project.

We’re one of the UK’s most experienced and innovative project delivery businesses. Our 150-year history spans multiple business sectors and specialisms: from HVAC systems in major projects to complete solutions for Smoke Control Systems and the best of British Manufacturing.

Founded in 1872 in Bury, Greater Manchester, we now have a footprint across many major infrastructure projects in this country, some of the newest commercial developments and urban regeneration, as well as prominent legacy projects around the world.

Exyte Hargreaves offers a whole life approach to service delivery. We’re client focused and will work alongside you from Design stage, through Manufacturing and Installation to Commissioning on site. Our products are

Sectors and Projects

High Tech Facilities

We have delivered HVAC Systems which perform safety critical functions in a variety of high tech facilities. This includes Data Centres, Biopharma and Advanced Technology Facilities. We offer bespoke solutions for unique engineering challenges whatever the client’s requirements.

Defence

Energy & Decommissioning

Exyte Hargreaves’ involvement in the construction and decommissioning of ventilation and containment systems dates back to the inception of the UK’s nuclear strategy. We have become a reputable brand through our association with landmark domestic projects including Sellafield and Hinkley Point, as well as developing international connections via the Chernobyl reactor containment collaboration.

As the pre-eminent specialist HVAC contractor in the sector, Exyte Hargreaves has or is currently working on most of the major Defence infrastructure projects in the UK. Often, in high security environments like those typical to Defence, it’s not simply a case of how a HVAC system moves air around the building. Our engineered solutions provide safe environments within safety critical facilities.

Transport

Exyte Hargreaves has helped to facilitate and shape UK transport infrastructure for many decades. From the pioneering work to complete the Channel Tunnel to current progress in making HS2 a reality. We have supported the transport sector in delivering transformational change projects across highways and rail. Our experience working in confined space environments has been vital when implementing imaginative engineering solutions for unique challenges.

Manufacturing

Our dedicated and state-of-the-art Manufacturing facility means Exyte Hargreaves can offer unique off-site assembly and fabrication methods.

Based in Bury, Greater Manchester, our multi-skilled team combines specialist welding and engineering skills backed by the latest in robotic and automated welding techniques.

DfMA

Our off-site manufacturing capability enables us to optimise our solutions throughout early engagement and collaborative working with clients and design & delivery teams.

We support clients, design & delivery teams in identifying project aspects that could benefit from being manufactured & completed away from the site.

Automated Manufacturing

Exyte Hargreaves combines sophisticated robotic technology to deliver more advanced weld procedures on projects.

With “Cobotics” our highly experienced team on the shop floor works in harmony with advanced robotic welding machines to deliver results faster, and more safely.

OUR AIM THROUGH DFMA IS TO IMPROVE THE DELIVERY OF THE SERVICES INSTALLATION IN ALL PROJECTS, OFFERING BENEFITS TO OUR CLIENT, OUR BUSINESS & WORKFORCE.

WE PROMISE LESS WASTE AND GREATER PRECISION.

Digital Manufacturing

Our state-of-the-art digital manufacturing procedures are changing the way the built environment industry works.

Mobile technology is deployed throughout the factory. By digitising design and planning methodologies, our fabrication teams receive data more efficiently – reducing the time to manufacture.

CoBotics

Exyte Hargreaves brings the best in new technology to augment our traditional manufacturing techniques to deliver better products on site.

Digitisation and BIM

Exyte Hargreaves pioneers digital innovation, investment in new technologies and a commitment to BIM (Building Information Modelling) principles so that digital ways of working remain at the forefront of project work and internal systems.

Digitisation throughout the company is supporting improved quality control, safe working practices, sustainability and reduced carbon footprint, collaboration between site and office teams and a digitised approach to delivery on projects..

Common Data Environment

Crucial to the Exyte Hargreaves digital infrastructure is the interoperability of our software. Our Common Data Environment – Dalux –communicates seamlessly with other software applications (such as Revit, Trimble and Autodesk) to deliver efficiencies throughout our business.

Data is accessible by Engineering, Design, Manufacturing and Project teams to improve collaboration from concept to commissioning. Crucially, it is available for clients to monitor, find efficiencies and streamline the project at all stages.

BIM (and the creation of a BIM model) is central to our approach to project management, enhancing collaboration through common standards, formats of data, digital twins and much more.

Enhancing project visualisation

Creation of a BIM model at the project outset leads to a number of benefits as the project progresses, such as efficiency in manufacturing, clash avoidance during installation and the ability to visualise the project at all stages.

Engineering, design and manufacturing teams can take fabrication parts from the model into manufacture, digital designs allow for clash detection against other services and robotics support installation on site.

Software investment in tools such as Fuzor allows 4D simulations of assets and project details, supporting further data modernisation.

Delivery of asset and project data

Our sustainable approach to project delivery involves a commitment to paperless working and a reliance on continuous digital innovation.

Site inspections are carried out using 360 degree helmet mounted cameras to visually inspect assets and demonstrate site progression in real time – also reducing the carbon impact of travel to site.

Our Dalux Common Data Environment speeds up project exchange and data handover. Our quality-assured approach to data management helps mitigate risk, aids communication and optimises project support in real time.

Environment, Safety, Health and Quality

Quality

Exyte Hargreaves has built a strong reputation over more than 150 years for delivering quality HVAC and Fire Safety Systems and associated products. Our track record in safety critical environments stems from a business commitment to exceptional corporate governance. Our record in quality and governance is critical to the continued success of Exyte Hargreaves and maintaining our trust and reputation across our core business sectors.

Social Value

Building strong community relationships is a cornerstone of our wider business strategy. We aim to make positive social impacts on areas local to our offices and those we support during live projects. Our Environment, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) strategy defines our approach to delivering social value in our communities. Exyte Hargreaves is proactive in delivering an exciting programme of support and engagement in partnership with key stakeholders.

Today, we deliver an integrated business strategy which balances economic, social and environmental goals for mutual benefit.

Environment

Sustainability has always been core to the Exyte Hargreaves business. The roots of Henry Hargreaves & Son were in bicycle production, meaning investment in net zero carbon was a day one topic in the business before the phrase was even coined. Today, we deliver an integrated business strategy which balances economic, social and environmental goals for mutual benefit. Our work across the Energy & DECOM, Defence, Transport and Commercial sectors is playing a part in creating a sustainable future for the planet.

Safety

Safety is one of our core business values at Exyte Hargreaves. We are committed to providing a working environment where everyone goes home safe. All employees receive mandatory and industry-approved Environment, Safety and Health (EHS) training upon induction.

Our employee-led EHS Committee continually works to improve standards, delivering refresher training on an annual basis and making reports/recommendations to the leadership team on safety matters.

Software investment in tools such as Fuzor allows 4D simulations of assets and project details, supporting further data modernisation.
