50,000 wind turbines would also deliver the required power, in the world today there are already 350,000.. Industrialisation of the past advanced many things for humans, but it has also led us into this deep furrow.

However, the beams and columns can be any length.Spans can be specific to particular clients, but to the operative on site, it's the same yellow bracket, requiring the same torque wrench and two bolts.

Platforms enable us to get down to a much more granular level and simultaneously open the door for continual improvement and variability going forward with respect to supply chain choices, material choices and so on.. Maximising value with construction platforms.Because platform construction uses a limited number of components, it gives us a greater amount of control.We’re able to limit the number of processes and operations which have to happen on site and we can control materials much more accurately.

There are also considerable time-saving benefits with P-DfMA, which enable us to spend more time on the design and optimisation of components in the first place.We put a tremendous amount of effort into component design because we know we’ll be using those same components again and again.

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.It created a dynamic, exciting environment, full of serendipitous moments and buzz.

Doing Design to Value this way is very enjoyable.Construction projects are about creating change and development in a variety of areas, from medicine to technology.

They’re full of potential and should be exciting..Process engineering in practice: GSK’S Parma facility design and Factory in a Box.
