By viewing each data centre as part of a coherent system, Edged can design and build with greater efficiency.
This is particularly likely if there’s a focus on design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA).. We’ll also see data driving diversification.People will begin to understand how they can use data to offer different products and services, impacting things like availability and operational performance.
In this scenario, capital costs will become something of a blip in terms of the overall service offering being brought to market.. P-DfMA and the UK’s Role within the International Community.Then there is our work here in the UK with Platform construction (P-DfMA).It’s certainly an exciting possibility that our work with P-DfMA could end up being adopted by the international community.
We saw this happen with BIM standards, which were very quickly adopted as the de facto standards with things like EN ISO 19650.We’re now starting to see the rest of the world beginning to look towards an industrialised construction approach.
If we make headway with Platform construction there will be a massive international market available.
This could be a real opportunity, if we can join up a few different elements.. With BIM Pro we saw the need to go out and engage with foreign governments, forming a community to promote an approach and process which drives better delivery.reinforced concrete construction.
, driven by a range of factors including comparatively low supply and demand.. Singapore has shown a great commitment to achieving the advantages of DfMA but PPVC has been more successful on some projects (and some types of project) than others.A local mindset has been established that equates PPVC with Design for Manufacture and Assembly at the expense of alternatives.
This is starting to change with the government and private sector looking at other DfMA solutions such as panelised lightweight construction and CLT (cross-laminated timber), both of which have been successfully used in Singapore.However, local industry discussion of DfMA remains dominated by the idea of standardised PPVC modules being stacked up to form finished buildings..
