There was even a proposal to develop the building technology so that inmates could be involved in the programme, building their skills, and making them more employable once released.. And there are technologies being developed now that can produce net carbon negative concrete, this would have offered the Ministry of Justice programme the possibility of a carbon negative prison as well as delivering all the other benefits.. What we also forget is a fact that should motivate us and give us hope.
A built asset that delivers value across the piece.This leads to wide-ranging benefits: cost-savings, increases in speed, quality and safety, and the creation of more sustainable buildings with projects delivering greater social value.. Digital design: using construction technology to iterate and refine.
Our approach at Bryden Wood is rooted in a Design to Value methodology.We dismantle a process rigorously until we reduce it to its smallest components.Then we call on a breadth and depth of expertise to optimise every component, so that when we combine them in the complete solution, the whole will operate to the maximum efficiency of all of its parts.. We use construction technology to create a digital model of every component, containing as much value data as we can source, ranging from energy consumption to physical space requirements to expected lifespan to cost.
In the digital design environment, we experiment with a huge number of permutations of components, introducing variables, then measuring, iterating and refining, over and again..Adopting this Design to Value approach, enables us to see how small changes in one component can have a dramatic consequence at a later stage.
And conversely, we can trace inefficiencies and anomalies back to their source.
By modelling the effect of several variables simultaneously we can build in flexibility where it’s needed to ensure future viability when circumstances change, which, as current events should teach us, they will.. From the earliest stages, we work with 3D visualisations of processes and physical assets.Then we call on a breadth and depth of expertise to optimise every component, so that when we combine them in the complete solution, the whole will operate to the maximum efficiency of all of its parts.. From the earliest stages, we work with 3-D visualisations of processes and physical assets.
This allows us to iterate and test many variables.Users can take a virtual reality walk through the process, to test the physical environment and anticipate issues..
Automation in construction.There are many elements of built assets that are, or could be, automated or standardised across multiple processes in one or more sectors and industries.
