This amounts to almost half of all carbon emissions..
In our work on façade engineering, we apply the principles of our pioneering work in technology and design for manufacture and assembly, to bring a wide range of benefits to our construction partners, and to clients..Projects such as the landmark.
Edinburgh St James Centre.demonstrate Bryden Wood’s capability in providing specialist façade design and detailing services.The St James Centre is a project which uses a natural stone façade.
We are providing structural engineering design for all precast panels including the design of bracket connections as well as all stone design and detailing (partly handset and partly panelised).We have led the interface detailing between the different façade packages and have carried out all the façade performance engineering and detailing, including: structural, thermal and condensation risk, waterproofing, air tightness, fire and acoustics.. We work with:.
main contractors who are interested in innovation and exploring the benefits of alternative construction systems or DfMA conversions; and looking to de-risk certain packages, eg facades.
Specialist subcontractors for facades, M&E prefabrication etc.Instead, we see them as opportunities.
MMC technologies unlock potential to evolve our role as designers.With the time saving benefits created, we are able to design more buildings and infrastructure to a higher standard.
Automation and digital technology give us the ability to explore more possible solutions in less time, choosing the best from a broader set of options.. PRiSM helps designers and architects to save time usually spent reinterpreting rules from design guides and building regulations.After all, it’s in the placemaking, the creation of positive user experience and stimulating aesthetic, that designers have the biggest impact and provide the most value in their work - not in repetitive processes like rules reinterpretation.
