In the world today there are less than 200 nuclear submarines and about 440 full-scale nuclear reactors which have been developed in the last 70 years since the first in 1951.
Our goal with P-DfMA is lean construction.We want to remove anything which doesn’t add value.
To achieve the best possible results, we must change the way we think, the way we manage materials and people.Design must form the entry point, with that particular element of P-DfMA serving as the foundation and pervading principle for everything which follows.We must allow the manufacture and assembly process to drive the way we design the asset in the first place, as well as the way we engage the client and the supply chain..
Integrated design.Much of the industry’s current difficulty arises from the fact that few people can see the entire process through from end-to-end.
At Bryden Wood we have, over time, developed a cross-disciplinary approach in response to this reality and the need to design towards the process – to rationalise, coordinate and develop a fully integrated design solution.
Our team includes technologists, designers, architects, engineers and analysts, because it’s vital that we apply these new principles throughout.There are challenges to be overcome and there will be more on the road ahead.
However, by 2050, it’s possible that we could be looking back at COVID-19 as necessary pain we had to go through to help us reach our goals.It could be that our current difficulties will ultimately help lead the global transformation into a more sustainable and equal global community..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesTogether, they explore the evolving landscape of sustainable building design, discussing how the integration of building physics and sustainability can dramatically reduce environmental impacts from the initial design stages through to construction and operation..This episode also tackles the pertinent issue of designing buildings in the post-COVID era, focusing on ventilation, air quality, and the balance between energy efficiency and occupant health.
