There is a belief that the technology involved in intensified chemistry is not very mature and therefore carries substantial risk.
Platforms solution.The digital record of data that sits behind the platform approach continues to add value throughout the operation of the asset and will facilitate increasingly data-driven use cases in the future including feedback loops and digital twins.. Data that feeds through to operation hand over and back into future design.
The bedrock of data that threads all the way through the platforms process, can feed into the circular economy; building a core set of information that can be re-utilised, creating feedback loops that can then inform the design of future assets.In this way, Platform design and how it integrates with the bespoke sections of assets, becomes self-optimising.. Design that future proofs compliance.The ability platforms give designers to consider and integrate all pertinent data in the earliest design concepts, mean that they can also consider operational efficiency.. On Landsec, the M&E solutions considered ease of cleaning and replacement.
These cassettes were standardised across the building, so it merited the time to optimise them so that they would be of greatest value throughout the whole life of the asset.The standardised steel beams were provided with more penetrations than the design required, this pre-enabled the asset for future adaptations: with additional fixing points already cast into in the slab, the model is less likely to need updating as adaptations or refurbishments take place.. Summary.
With the construction sector currently facing challenges on multiple fronts, it should be at least encouraging that a number of topics – sustainability, productivity and safety – all point in the same direction; a simplified and digitally-enabled design and construction process, using repeatable components manufactured at scale and assembled using standardised processes..

I enjoy the challenge.A lot of it is problem-solving and working together with the wider Bryden Wood team, which I really enjoy.
It’s well suited to my personality, because I like getting into the detail of things.I’m a very maths and science-based thinker, so it’s the area that I enjoy..
