This is truly a better, faster, greener agenda.
Every gram of material you take out of the manufacturing process, out of each assembly process, has a massive multiplier effect in terms of material reduction.This is an important part of sustainable design.
These processes then become highly repeatable, enabling greater levels of automation in construction.We can turn to techniques such as robotic welding to make the parts, for example, and use popular distribution warehousing equipment on site.Such processes require fewer people and increase worker safety.
In a socially distanced, post Covid-19 world, the advantages are even greater.. Standardisation in construction: making the most of what works best.It’s worth stressing again that standardisation in construction is not a negative, and it’s not unique to platform design either.
We’ve found that most clients want a certain level of standardisation.
The Department for Education knows exactly what the best performing teaching space looks like.We are interested in designing a built envelope that houses the process in the most efficient way.. DATA ANALYSIS INFORMS ENGINEERING AND DESIGN.
The only way we can do this effectively is by analysing the process.For example, the size and quantity of raw materials needed to produce the required volume of product will determine the size of the warehouse.
The maximum throughput of the equipment that is used will determine how many pieces of equipment are needed to process the volume.The degree of process automation will determine how many human operatives will be needed along with the associated offices, meeting rooms, tea points and toilets.
