We’ll be able to evaluate specifically how an energy project, a transport project, a school and a housing scheme interact.
As a result, the UK government is now looking to double down on the current plan to develop construction Platforms and to make things happen even more quickly.This should send a strong message to the construction industry.
This shift is coming.We've already seen other sectors - entertainment, retail, music - being disrupted over the last 25 years.Rather than resisting the process, the big players of the construction industry need to acknowledge the reality of where we’re heading.
They should be evaluating the types of opportunities this will create and figuring out how to shape themselves in order to take advantage of those opportunities.They need to work out how to address the vast, global market that’s on the way.
We are now starting to see people considering these issues.. P-DfMA for the future.
From the aging demographic to the impact of COVID-19, the challenges facing the construction industry have never been starker.Any nitrogen is pulled into the trench by the extraction (we’re extracting the air from the whole space through the trench), but also by gravity because it’s heavier than air.
It seems almost obvious, but because it was a groundbreaking MEP design , we did comprehensive testing and modelling to make sure it would work, using computational fluid dynamics (a digital way of predicting how air will move through a building).GSK – quite rightly – have a very strong Health and Safety culture, so the testing threshold was incredibly high.
But the system passed, we installed it and it’s working very well.. Also in Stevenage, we worked with GSK on the lab grade water system.They had a very large system, which had been put in 20 years ago.
