‘West is Best,’ says Chris Trotman, Creative Director of.
With road and sea access to a large supply chain with few import restrictions in the Greater Bay Area, it will be possible to pre-manufacture components of almost any size required to achieve benefit..Applying the Lessons of Manufacturing.
For Bryden Wood, an attractive aspect of both Singapore and Hong Kong has been the enthusiasm and commitment to drive construction productivity improvement through innovation.We have been working hard to move the conversation forward in both markets.Volumetric DfMA solutions have their applications and it has been great to see some successful projects delivered in this way, however there is a growing awareness that PPVC/MiC is not a one-size-fits-all solution to every construction problem but rather one possible tool in a spectrum of opportunities afforded by DfMA.. At Bryden Wood, we believe there is a way to deliver a wide spectrum of building types efficiently, safely and productively using standardised components.
For more than two decades Bryden Wood has been breaking down buildings to kits of component parts and looking for ways to deliver different types of projects using the same constituent parts.This work has culminated in our Platforms approach to building, developed in close consultation with the UK Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) which recently led to the UK Government issuing a call for evidence on a Platform approach for DfMA (P-DfMA).. We define a platform as a set of components used for creating a range of products.
An analogy in the manufacturing sector would be a set of mechanical parts that is used to create the standardised chassis that sits inside many different models of car.
Recent decades have seen rapid change in manufacturing efficiency driven by whole sectors working with a defined range of components to enable rapid innovation to take place.The reduced equipment requirements allowed us to pivot away from the originally proposed central spine corridor towards a simpler configuration of process rooms with perimeter circulation on both sides.
This, coupled with extensive deployment of glazing, allowed us to bring natural light to both circulation and process areas, enhancing the workplace environment and employee wellbeing.. Our alternative design for the milling building reduced operational CO. 2. emissions by more than 50% and capital cost by 30%.It was adopted by Pfizer and incorporated into the delivered scheme.
“The layout, space and light in the milling building is superb,” said Pfizer’s Senior Director of Operations..The Singapore API plant is the 2024 FOYA Category Winner for Operations, Project Execution.
