Watch: Platform II: Transforming construction with Bryden Wood's innovative P-DfMA approach delivering efficiency, sustainability and design

We shall go on to the end,.

Programme acceleration is a key driver for battery plants, where producing the first batches is a critical milestone.Prefabricated components help accelerate construction by allowing work to be completed off-site, ahead of schedule..

However, challenges such as transport and installation of large components (e.g., multi-trade pipe racks) must be addressed early.For instance, lifting pipe racks onto the steel frame before the roof is installed can mitigate logistical challenges.. Fast Commissioning Drives Programme Success.Equipment installation and commissioning often delay production.

To counter this, construction activities should be planned around the commissioning sequence..Recommendations for Fast Commissioning:.

​•​ Prioritise construction of critical production areas.. ​•​ Install site-wide utility systems in parallel with critical process areas.. ​•​ Design control systems to enable phased commissioning of interconnected sections.. Planning for the Future.

DfMA benefits are maximised when applied across a long-term project pipeline.They are good examples of projects that follow the “Be Lean, Be Clean and Be Green” guidelines in the London Plan Energy Hierarchy..

Managing condensation.The spaces between heated, humid, pool halls and cooled gyms, or external areas, are particularly challenging.

Condensation can cause staining or mould growth on the building fabric, and saturate insulation layers, degrading their performance.There are also health and safety risks from mould spores or people slipping on surface water.
