As well as this, our focus on data and metrics sets us aside from traditional practices.

Nuclear power could become a key part of our decarbonisation strategy, and we’re starting to see an interesting shift take place.The traditional, anti-nuclear left is beginning to become marginalised.

In fact, Gogan says that the representation from nuclear, and the appetite for these new nuclear, advanced heat technologies, was strong at COP26.She’s also pleased with the decision to have an annual holding to account, rather than the five year timeframe we’ve previously been using.Hopefully, she says, this will put more pressure on wealthy nations to demonstrate progress.. At Bryden Wood, we believe that making a shift towards smaller, repeatable, manufactured elements is an important part of the path forward.

Approaching design and construction in this way helps to reduce material waste, producing more efficient and sustainable built assets.When looking at the vast scale of a project like Hinkley Point, at its enormous costs and lengthy timescales, it’s clear to see what the problems are.

We need a solution that’s much faster, more scalable and deployable, and we need it right away.

Hinkley Point is still a number of years off completion..They're used in different ways at different stages of a project, or in different ways by different users within a project..

The data structures that we build around Chips allow data to be aggregated between different levels.. We can associate any type of data with a Chip.Conventional engineering data is perhaps the most obvious, but we also include data like staffing levels, containment requirements, power consumption, or even the level of design uncertainty.

This allows for visualisation of different issues within a project..It's important that when we define chips, we don't leave gaps.
