With any fume extracting system, we will ensure the material of construction throughout the entire system is suitable for the extracted fumes.

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesDesign to Value.approach means we are always looking for new ways to deliver the best value solutions for clients.

This sometimes takes us in unexpected and surprising directions.For example, one longstanding client of ours is an industrial plastics manufacturer who is strongly focused on improving their sustainability.For this client, Bryden Wood have designed facilities with excellent environmental performance, introduced green landscaping throughout their site and undertaken studies into the feasibility of achieving Net Zero carbon for the site’s base load energy consumption..

However, none of these initiatives addresses the ‘elephant in the room’: the industrial plastics manufacturing process itself, which is heavily reliant on the carbon-intensive chemical production sector.. Chemical production is set to become ‘the single largest driver of global oil consumption by 2030’ according to a 2019 paper in the.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The chemical industry uses around 28% of all industrial energy and 10% of global final energy.

2. , which shows how vital it is for the industry to change if we are to reduce carbon emissions and help combat climate change..The term ‘Platforms,’ most commonly used in manufacturing, refers to a process whereby sets of components or assemblies can be put together in a multitude of different ways to create a multitude of different products..

In the context of the built environment, the most basic goal of Platform construction (P-DfMA) is to drive value within the sector - to apply the lessons of manufacturing to construction, and do what we do better, more efficiently and more productively.However, the concurrent benefits of adopting a Platform approach are much more wide-reaching; the transformation of a construction industry in crisis and the creation of a safer, healthier and more sustainable way of building for both ourselves and our planet.. Building our future with sustainable infrastructure.

Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) offers a unique opportunity to refocus an industry beset by problems: low productivity, poor value, an aging workforce and not enough new workers.Operating in this current state, the construction industry simply can’t meet the needs of the future.
