Ultimately, the conversation on.

This approach is applicable not just to complex factories but to projects ranging from schools to offices, prisons, airports and others.At Bryden Wood we use data analytics to deliver best-in-class designs in many building sectors.

Our work in healthcare has recently culminated in the completion of the Circle Birmingham hospital which delivered a state-of-the-art new facility for 30% less cost than comparable hospitals.. Data analytics is one key reason we can achieve such major cost advantages on projects delivered in this way.By gaining a much deeper understanding of project and process requirements early on, we can quickly settle on a functional solution and start thinking about the most efficient construction method (and opportunities for introducing DfMA) far sooner than would be conventionally possible.. DIGITAL, DATA AND CLIENT COLLABORATION IS THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION.At every step in this process, the use of digital tools to visualise and interpret data is instrumental to engaging with client-side stakeholders in a truly collaborative working environment.

Our analysts will often become embedded in client teams, building our process understanding while at the same time the client becomes embedded in our design team, allowing us to reach a shared agreement of what the best possible solution looks like.. Having been static and traditional for so long, the construction industry today is fast-paced and evolving in many ways.Bryden Wood is at the forefront of that change and we see data analytics as playing an ever more important role in a smarter, more productive and digitally enabled future..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesThe idea that achieving a low carbon, sustainable building requires additional spend is very last decade..While it’s possible that thirty years from now we might find other ways to sustainably meet our energy needs without nuclear technologies, to not have these highly beneficial, advanced heat solutions in our toolbox now would be a huge mistake..

Replacing coal with clean energy.The Net Zero America Report produced by Princeton University suggests that the low renewables scenario would require the US grid to double or triple in size, which, as a strategy, seems both unrealistic and very high-risk.

However, if we instead repurpose all of the existing thermal sites, repowering the US coal-fired power plants with new nuclear, advanced heat solutions, we could reduce the amount of new transmission bills by an incredible forty percent.. Gogan says this represents a radical de-risking of our net zero transition, and presents a huge opportunity for decarbonisation.The repowering coal strategy will co-locate an advanced heat source next to an existing coal-fired power plant, decommissioning the coal boiler, while the rest of the plant, including the steam turbine, power island and existing transmission, remain in operation.. To support the repowering coal initiative, Bryden Wood is developing a standardised, scalable building system, configuring the design in such a way as to be able to meet any kind of site or plant requirements, while also accommodating a range of different heat sources.
