• Technical and Plant Areas: Avoid over-allocating space.External plant (e.g., containerised for weather protection) can often replace internal areas, saving costs.. • Structural Efficiency: Large spans add significant structural costs.
Aligning internal spaces with process equipment minimises unnecessary spans..While right-sizing may increase envelope complexity, these costs are typically outweighed by the long-term benefits.. Bridging the Gap Between Design and Manufacturing.Rationalising and optimising the design against process requirements allows for greater use of prefabricated components.. Standardising repeatable design elements.
can increase prefabrication, including:.• Structural frames and slabs (e.g., precast concrete or steel).. • Panelised wall and roof systems.. • Packaged utility plants (e.g., containerised systems).. • Multi-trade pipe racks and risers.. • Modular staff amenities and welfare areas.. Prefabrication transforms construction into a manufacturing-like process, with pre-assembled components enabling faster, more predictable on-site assembly..
Designers should collaborate with suppliers early to ensure prefabricated components are fit for purpose and deliver intended benefits.. Unlocking Programme Benefits with Prefabrication.
Programme acceleration is a key driver for battery plants, where producing the first batches is a critical milestone.There is enough diversity within the industry to allow people to thrive in all different aspects.. What makes Bryden Wood different is that they aren’t afraid to try things.
They aren’t afraid to rip up the rule book and say, ‘Why are we doing it this way?’ That’s what I like.I like the way that they will look at something and say, ‘Right, ok. How can we make this better?’.
Also, with the DfMA aspects - making sites safer, making it so that pieces of the F frame for example...are lightweight and can be easily put into place (that it can be built like an IKEA piece of furniture on the deck and lifted in), that’s what I like.I like the way that we don’t say no to anything.'.
