Is nuclear renewable? Strategies for decarbonisation.

A laboratory is a space in which a number of processes are undertaken in a methodical order, similar to any production line or manufacturing facility.

There’s so much to be designed!MMC will simply enable us to keep up with the needs of society.

The more buildings that can be described by technical standards, state-based standards and rule sets ripe for some form of algorithmic design, the more we will be able to design more efficiently, more quickly and to a higher quality.This digital process will then feed all the way down through manufacturing, assembly automation and construction, with the ultimate benefits finding their way onto site..Lean construction in practice: a virtuous circle of benefits.

All of these factors combine to deliver cost and material savings, while using fewer people and increasing productivity.We’re already seeing evidence that it’s possible to build a superstructure with half the number of people in half the time, representing a four-fold increase in productivity, as well as a 25% reduction in overall material and a 20% reduction in embodied carbon.

And there are other benefits, such as the ability to minimise tolerances.

In our work with Crossrail we designed to zero tolerance with very good success.Already impressive, we expect these metrics will only continue to improve over time.. Design to Value.

The starting point, and where we must begin in order to truly maximise the benefits that P-DfMA and MMC make possible, is to rework our core processes (design, procure, construct, operate) around a central, driving principle: process-led design.In other words, we must begin with the manufacture and assembly process in mind.

Innovation doesn’t respect discipline or sector boundaries.It needs to sit across the entire operation.
