Our approach and capabilities
Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..
At the moment, Victoria is going in one direction.New South Wales is going in another.
Victoria’s permanent modular skill building program increased the number of offsite fabricators from five to 16 in four years and they recently released their offsite construction guidelines.New South Wales has done a comprehensive study over the last two years leading with their Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) guidelines for schools that go beyond volumetric towards a platform-based approach.In Queensland, there’s been a recent expression of interest released to find out how they can utilise MMC to build more affordable and social housing.. States are talking about DfMA and MMC but taking different approaches and not necessarily sharing knowledge and insights.. 2.
Start-ups will rise up.. A component-based platform approach will help engage local manufacturing.We will see smaller manufacturers of repeat components getting engaged in the supply chain rather than just being a few big players producing the majority of a building.
This has numerous socioeconomic advantages.
Fostering innovative thinking among SME fabricators and smaller suppliers is a key driver for change in construction more broadly.. 3.This option is included in the graph, but the chiller size is at a disadvantage because it incorporates additional components beyond just the heat unit (chiller) such as evaporators, compressors, condensers, and, in some cases, a CHW pump.
However, some air-cooled chillers achieve results comparable to dry air coolers.. All adiabatic plants require water treatment equipment and water storage, which, based on the installation and resilience required, can be considerable.However, these have a lower priority to be situated adjacent to the equipment and can be located elsewhere on site..
