‘What I really like is that there’s no segregation.’ he says.
Each one is looking at different aspects of embodied carbon: the importance of whole-life carbon, benchmarking, the collection of case studies, etc.The aim is to gather knowledge and offer industry advice.. As part of this effort, some data has been published on the Landsec/Bryden Wood project, the Forge.
This ground-breaking P-DfMA office building project is currently being delivered on-site in London, featuring an almost 20% reduction in embodied carbon.It’s a fantastic achievement, and because The Forge is a Platforms construction project, we’ll be able to take what we’ve learned to create further benefits on future projects.. With the Forge, we’ve been able to prototype the project in advance of it going on-site.We’ve been able to look at things like different concrete mixes, relating to the self-compacting nature of the concrete.
Through evaluation of embodied carbon, we’ve been able to offer lower carbon concrete mixes, tested before being transferred.In this case, Easispace put temperature sensors in the concrete, with mobile phone alerts indicating when the concrete became strong enough to strike the shuttering.
This process of fine tuning the concrete enables it to be kept as low-carbon as possible, optimising it for strength, while still keeping the building process as quick as possible.
It’s a good example of the improvements made viable with prototyping, which aren’t achievable when a project is live on-site for the first time., Chief of Staff at.

We should always aim for a positive shared experience with a good outcome.The root of project dispute is usually a lack of common understanding about the why, the what, and the how related to a project.
