Considering the examples above, here are the key aspects I believe a digital marketplace for construction Platforms should include:.
They start with just 0.3% of valuable metal by volume and after smelting, it's still a very small quantity of metal, but it’s at a size that they can put it in the back of a truck to be taken to the refinery where the valuable metals are extracted.. Their present refinery was built in 1965, and is in need of replacement.Our first job was to look at all sorts of options about where they might build a new refinery, from the UK to Europe to Asia.
For a number of reasons, the UK was the best option.Then of course we had to find a suitable location in the UK and masterplan the site.The conclusion we came to was to knock down a series of existing buildings close to the current facility.
This would allow us to build the new refinery while keeping the old one going for as long as possible, before transferring operations to the new one.. As you can imagine, a refinery is a hugely technical building and the M&E element is the most significant part of the project.We designed the building, it went out to tender and is currently in construction.
It’s due to be completed later this year, with commissioning taking until 2023.
We are continuing to work on the project as Design Guardian.. A complete mechanical and electrical engineering solution.An essential part of the hierarchy, and one of the key focuses of Bryden Wood’s design approach is DfMA, which enables substantial embodied carbon reduction and creates synergies to further reduce operational carbon.
The implementation of DfMA combined with energy efficiency measures, specification of low carbon materials and carbon offset measures is the proposed pathway to the delivery of successful net zero carbon buildings..

Where is the value in ‘construction technology’, ‘generative design’ or ‘automation in construction’?
With design automation and construction tech set to transform the industry, where does the Creative Technologies team at Bryden Wood fit in?What's your driving purpose?.
