Applying the Lessons of Manufacturing.

A technical floor was located above the process.Offsite modular prefabrication helped improve programme delivery..

Working alongside local stakeholders to ensure the viability of delivery in Italy, we overlapped design, procurement and construction activities to prioritise elements of the build according to variables like complexity and long-lead-time equipment..Rigorous interrogation of the design at each stage helped ensure construction and commissioning was completed on budget and within a very tight schedule: 15 months from groundbreaking to handover of the fully finished facility..The project was one of two FOYA Category Winners for Social Impact in 2020.

“The team paid attention to creating a ‘can do’ attitude and culture whilst implementing accelerated delivery tools,” said the FOYA Judging Panel.“As a result, GSK and ViiV Healthcare ensured the continuity of supply of Fostemsavir for clinical trials.”.

The common thread: Design to Value.

Although the two projects are quite different, the underlying principles of our responses are the same.. Design to Value.However, there are significant problems in exploiting this, and there are country and regional variations in how schemes can work..

In northern Europe, there is a precedent in community heating schemes, whereas in the UK this has never been common.There are no established bodies or groups who can or will take the responsibility for installing and running these schemes.

There are also operational and contractual issues to be overcome.. Clients of DCs want efficiency and reliability and are usually uninterested in wider operational considerations.Equally, any local heating project where homes rely on a DC for their domestic heating would be compromised if the DC is shut down for weeks in winter.. Making use of this valuable waste energy requires these conundrums to be resolved.
