The design of platform interfaces is so accurate it reduces reliance on skilled trades and workmanship and provides a visual and straightforward Quality Assurance process, for greater consistency and accuracy:.
This Group’s work was documented in ‘.Delivery Platforms for Government Assets.
’ and was influential in Chancellor Philip Hammond’s November 2017 Budget Statement, which endorsed MMC and committed the government to drive its adoption..Meanwhile, the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), who implemented the mandatory use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in public sector works, funded Bryden Wood and the MTC to develop further the cross-fertilisation of manufacturing and construction.In March 2018, we worked together on an event, ‘Transforming Construction’, which showcased a Platform approach to DfMA and launched the book ‘.
Delivery Platforms.’.. All of this informed continued strategic thinking within central government.
In November 2018, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) launched its call for evidence, ‘Proposal for a New Approach to Building,’ calling for the adoption of Platforms.
At the same time, the Construction Innovation Hub (CIH) was announced, partly to accelerate the design and development of Platforms.. Also in 2018, The UKRI backing of Demonstrator projects, such as SEISMIC, opened the door to even greater collaboration between Bryden Wood and others, resulting not only in a digital configurator for designing schools, but also a collaboration between two of the industry’s leading modular competitors, Elliot and McAvoy, resulting in a standard modular connector..Many larger data centre operators are now integrating liquid cooling solutions into their facilities.
However, the lack of a standardised design topology for liquid cooling systems and their various configurations, poses a challenge.We may witness the emergence of two distinct data centre topologies: the energy-efficient approach versus the high-density model, or perhaps a hybrid combination of both.
These design choices will significantly impact heat rejection systems and other critical aspects, such as IT infrastructure development..While the industry strives to reduce PUE in data centres, sustainability efforts should also focus on minimising process water consumption during adiabatic cooling.
