Right now in the construction business, you have lots of these contractors opening up fab shops, and they're not going to manufacturing consultants to figure out how to set up a fab shop.

​•​ Early stages often involve vertical material transfer (e.g., wet chemicals).. ​•​ Later stages require significant ventilation, heat rejection, and cooling..While designers may aim for uniformity across process areas, this can lead to inefficient and underutilised space.. Right-Sizing Battery Factory Designs.

A more cost-effective approach is to 'shrink-wrap' the assembly process.By mapping and right-sizing the spatial, environmental, and material transfer needs of each step, the building can be designed to precisely match its functional requirements.This reduces capital costs, operational costs, and energy use..

Considerations for Right-Sizing:.​•​ Technical and Plant Areas: Avoid over-allocating space.

External plant (e.g., containerised for weather protection) can often replace internal areas, saving costs.. ​• ​Structural Efficiency: Large spans add significant structural costs.

Aligning internal spaces with process equipment minimises unnecessary spans..This video shows how we can go from concept to BIM in minutes, as demonstrated at Futurebuild 2020.We're proud that an above average 30%* of the Bryden Wood team are talented women.

In advance of International Women's Day on the 8th March, we asked some of our female architects, engineers and designers to share their thoughts on being women in construction.. EVA MAGNISALI - HEAD OF ROBOTICS.International Women’s Day is quite a big topic in the industry because there are more men in leading roles.

It is more male dominated at the moment, but I don’t think it’s something that can’t change and I would say that it’s becoming more of a nice mix.I see more and more women participating, especially coming from academia and those joining the industry too..
