underscores the transformative potential of industrialised construction and the critical role of collaboration, technology, and innovative thinking.
Construction and manufacturing continued throughout the pandemic, as did the production of steel and concrete.What this really highlights though, is that while our own personal behaviour does contribute to the climate crisis, it’s actually the much larger macroeconomy that’s driving very large amounts of the emissions..
Although the reality of this situation is actually invisible to most people, it’s imperative that we start doing more than we’re currently doing.Nuclear power could become a key part of our decarbonisation strategy, and we’re starting to see an interesting shift take place.The traditional, anti-nuclear left is beginning to become marginalised.
In fact, Gogan says that the representation from nuclear, and the appetite for these new nuclear, advanced heat technologies, was strong at COP26.She’s also pleased with the decision to have an annual holding to account, rather than the five year timeframe we’ve previously been using.
Hopefully, she says, this will put more pressure on wealthy nations to demonstrate progress.. At Bryden Wood, we believe that making a shift towards smaller, repeatable, manufactured elements is an important part of the path forward.
Approaching design and construction in this way helps to reduce material waste, producing more efficient and sustainable built assets.What we aim to do is make sure that projects are well aligned with business requirements; to define and design future assets that translate a company’s strategic objectives into tangible manufacturing facilities – and provide added value.
The key point here is that we put a great deal of effort into defining the business needs.That is, after all, why we're doing the project.. We also invest effort into constantly assessing how well our design solutions match those needs.
This has often resulted in solutions that require no capital expenditure at all, because we find different ways of meeting the requirements..The Design to Value approach relies fundamentally on close collaboration between a wider range of experts than is seen in conventional projects, particularly including business functions.
