Construction Playbook.
Standard components and digital tools - the construction Platforms ‘ecosystem’.The underpinnings of a potential marketplace are set out in the Playbook, which states that Government:.
will look to procure construction projects based on product platforms comprising of standardised and interoperable components and assemblies, the requirements for which will be part of a digital component catalogue..Contracting authorities should collaborate to find […] ways in which cross-sector platform solutions can be applied […] that enable interoperability of components across different sectors.. Future procurements and frameworks should support this with the development of a market and supply chain that can develop and deliver designs based on these platform approaches, manufacture and supply components, and innovate to improve and develop.these over time.
Construction Platforms will be familiar to anyone who has been following Bryden Wood’s work over the last few years.What is interesting here, though, is the strong link being made between standard components and digital libraries, and the need to create a market which supports the approach.. As we’ll see in the following examples, the combination of standard components and digital tools is exactly what we need to facilitate a digital marketplace.
and improve construction procurement methods.
The Platform construction ecosystem - beyond standard components.project, where existing coal plants are repurposed by replacing coal boilers with advanced nuclear heat sources.
This approach leverages existing infrastructure and transmission lines, drastically reducing the need for new construction and minimising community disruption.. 3.Global energy demand and infrastructure:.
The discussion highlights the increasing global energy demand, particularly from developing countries, and the challenges associated with meeting these needs while reducing emissions.Emphasis is placed on the necessity of a diverse energy portfolio to ensure reliable and sustainable energy access worldwide.. 4.
