Pharmaceutical facility design: adding value with construction technology and ‘Chip Thinking®'

This initiative aims to develop proprietary software that enhances productivity and efficiency, promoting a seamless integration of digital strategies into construction processes.. 3.

Of course, the most pressing, current question is: how do we make a planet which sustainably supports 11.5 billion people?Population growth coupled with the required infrastructure will generate massive amounts of carbon.

We must find ways to deliver what we need using much less.Optimisation of materials, better control of logistics, automation in construction, fewer people on site – all of these factors will help to create an overall lower carbon version of the built environment.We’re already working hard with concrete manufacturers to find the lowest carbon form of concrete we can possibly use.

We’re talking to steel manufacturers about the types of steel which will be made by electric arc furnaces powered by hydrogen fuel cells.We’re evaluating whether it’s viable to grow enough forests to build buildings using timber.

All of these issues must be addressed now.. Modern construction for the next generation.

Finally, there is the question of the workforce itself.Building Information Modelling (BIM) Roadmap issued by BCA.

In 2015, the Singapore Government published the.Essential Guide to BIM for DfMA.

which was authored by Bryden Wood in conjunction with BCA.The Guide was intended to demonstrate the opportunities that DfMA (and particularly PPVC) could bring to projects, but also to consider and explain typical BIM considerations that should be taken at each stage of a DfMA project to set it up for success..
