What is a Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner?

Whyte discusses the shift from traditional practices to digital-first strategies, where the use of data analytics, BIM (Building Information Modelling), and digital twins becomes central to project delivery.

Platform II acts as a carrier frame, providing a stiff and accurate superstructure that allows proof of compliance in installation.Platforms dramatically reduce the risk of on-site changes in two key ways:.

Intelligent design and automated fabrication remove the need for human ‘interpretation’ of drawings, increasing accuracy and consistency, for greater safety and productivity.Platform II was designed to use basic materials with the minimum amount of fabrication where possible.Most components use no or low levels of fabrication (these can be thought of as ‘dumb’ components).

These components tend to be the large, heavy, commoditised elements including:.Columns - standard square hollow sections are used with little/no ‘fabrication’ (a single hole is punched or laser cut in each column);.

Beams are made using a standard rolled metal profile (metal coils are passed through a highly efficient, automated rolling process with virtually no waste, no double handling etc.)

as a permanent shutter for concrete.That said, construction Platform design does help to change that risk profile dramatically and to reduce the amount of risk on a construction project..

If we take another look at what the UK government is doing through the Construction Innovation Hub, we can see that they are looking to aggregate construction demand across different departments.By harmonising the standards and requirements, and developing standardised components, they are creating a huge, central body of knowledge.

This library of common solutions will, in turn, mean that on each project, none of the construction design work necessarily needs to be done from scratch.Combining standardisation with the digital design tools that create better-coordinated models and data-rich designs, along with program cost and supply chain data embedded in the model, is powerful.
