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..
Using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) adds value at every stage of the design and build process, by identifying opportunities for standardisation of components and / or processes.It brings the principles, experience and successes of the manufacturing industry to construction – with all the associated benefits in terms of reducing cost and waste, while increasing quality and efficiency.
(Read more about DfMA.M&E systems fit naturally with DfMA.Many processes and components are already standard.
No-one would think of designing a sprinkler valve from scratch for every project, for example, and the use of pre-fabricated modules in risers for vertical service distribution in buildings is a technique widely in use.DfMA is not, therefore, a revolutionary concept for M&E services.
What we do is make DfMA a priority, a driving principle.. M&E in construction.
DfMA combines off-site manufacture with on-site assembly, using precision in pre-fabrication to drive on-site efficiency in both installation and operation.I am talking about developing new, fresh leading ideas and using know-how, skill and energy to make things happen.
I am talking about ambition, scale and the courage to be at the front of the pack, not hanging back and waiting to see what might be popular, what others might do, it is about forging a way forward ahead of current thinking with ambitions and aspirations beyond those of the current trends.. “The ability of an individual or a group of people to influence organisations and society.“.How could every building be carbon neutral, how could we replace every coal and gas power station?
These ideas are part of leadership but I believe leadership needs to go further than influence.The ambition needs to link the influence with the capability and energy to deliver..
