Small modular reactors are looking to address some of the licensing and regulation issues with repeatable modular design.. Based upon conversations and work with the small nuclear development ecosystem, there was a stated view that an industrialised modular nuclear offering is 20 years in the future.
In a Platform context this would mean selecting the most local supplier, or one that best aligns to your choice of value driver.It’s a community; as well as a transactional marketplace, people can also share ideas and designs.
As we move forwards, this will be vital to transforming construction; creating a community or ‘movement’ and sharing best practice will benefit us all.. IKEA enhancement.Ikea is another excellent example of a Platform that most people are familiar with.As well as the physical components, Ikea have also created their own ecosystem..
So, while there is a ‘kit of parts’ that includes components common to lots of different pieces of furniture (fittings, hinges, drawer bases and sides, dimensional grids etc.), the process has also been highly standardised: the format of the instruction book is always the same, and you only ever need a limited selection of common tools.. Ikea also have their own configurator for kitchens, ‘3D Kitchen Planner’, which allows users to create a 3D model which generates a list of components and a price.
Or you can book an appointment with an Ikea specialist who will help you decide on the right kitchen and layout and create the model for you..
There are now a number of companies such as.Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Requirements.
Some processes within labs are hazardous or toxic to health, and these are usually communicated to the laboratory design team by the client early in the design phases.It’s important to ask for all processes being undertaken as to the EHS requirements, as often it affects the laboratory design layout or services design.. For example, consider processes which require either containment or clean room status.
In both instances, this means that process, along with perhaps all the other processes within its functional group, will need to be separated physically from the other functional groups and an air pressure differential adhered to.This directly drives the lab layout, plus the services requirements and the finishes specifications..
