At the same time, the Construction Innovation Hub (CIH) was announced, partly to accelerate the design and development of Platforms.. Also in 2018, The UKRI backing of Demonstrator projects, such as SEISMIC, opened the door to even greater collaboration between Bryden Wood and others, resulting not only in a digital configurator for designing schools, but also a collaboration between two of the industry’s leading modular competitors, Elliot and McAvoy, resulting in a standard modular connector..

This analysis allows for the optimisation of design elements, such as UPS, to ensure inclusion only where necessary, leading to significant cost savings and a reduction in embodied carbon.Accurate determination of buffer vessel sizing through this analysis helps prevent oversizing, thereby saving costs and plant space, and minimising the need for structural reinforcement..

The optimisation of the chilled water system design ensures even distribution throughout the data hall.This optimisation process is crucial, as it prevents the tendency to oversize equipment or specify unnecessary components to meet resilience requirements, providing assurance that the building will meet requirements and allowing for greater potential for economic and carbon cost savings..As the demand for data centre capacity continues to grow and challenges in electrical supply capacity become more pronounced alongside regulatory pressures, there is an increasing need for data centre designs to be optimised..

The integration of CFD into the early design process empowers stakeholders to push boundaries, optimise performance, and embrace sustainable practices, all whilst ensuring the functionality and resilience that is so crucial to the performance of these buildings..Learn more about our approach to.

, and other leading voices at Bryden Wood articulate the urgent need for modernisation within our infrastructure systems.Being able to compress the time from project inception to occupancy, as well as having reliable procurement and supply chain, and a predictable construction programme, is hugely valuable in being able to defer CapEx and cost of finance.. One of the core principles of DfMA is the standardisation of parts and construction/assembly processes.

It enables the ‘industrialisation’ of data centre design and construction.This allows us to work with clients to standardise procurement, through a prearranged supply chain with stockholding, if necessary, of pre-agreed capital plant and equipment.

It enables speed of installation through on-site assembly of prefabricated and pre-assembled parts in a safe and controlled manner.And given the nature of data centres, they lend themselves particularly well to this approach, where standardisation of the end-user product is paramount.. DfMA brings precisely the reliability, predictability and speed to market that our data centre clients want and benefit from..
