And that includes solving the parts that are not worth automating or that are hardest to automate.

Working alongside local stakeholders to ensure the viability of delivery in Italy, we overlapped design, procurement and construction activities to prioritise elements of the build according to variables like complexity and long-lead-time equipment..Rigorous interrogation of the design at each stage helped ensure construction and commissioning was completed on budget and within a very tight schedule: 15 months from groundbreaking to handover of the fully finished facility..

The project was one of two FOYA Category Winners for Social Impact in 2020.“The team paid attention to creating a ‘can do’ attitude and culture whilst implementing accelerated delivery tools,” said the FOYA Judging Panel.“As a result, GSK and ViiV Healthcare ensured the continuity of supply of Fostemsavir for clinical trials.”.

The common thread: Design to Value.Although the two projects are quite different, the underlying principles of our responses are the same.. Design to Value.

is our unifying approach to finding the most efficient route to the optimal solution by analysing and understanding every facet of a problem..

In both projects we took a methodical approach to building a thorough understanding of the process, breaking it down into its component parts, considering these from every angle and configuring them in the optimal way to meet the project’s unique challenges: supplying a new life-saving drug in the shortest time possible, or delivering a best-in-class API plant on time and budget during a pandemic..Without proven repeatability, regulation will remain arduous.

Development is in progress, but the market is still some years from a pilot..Some of the group suggested that the market for this technology is currently dysfunctional: modular nuclear developers have an idea and are looking for niche markets (for instance, replacing coal-fired power stations with SMRs, as well as data centre power).

It was suggested that the DC industry could help focus and accelerate development through the creation of an Industry-Brief defining the market.This idea, of course, would need further collaboration across the DC ecosystem.. To bring the session to a close, there was a round-up of the issues and barriers that need to be solved in the short term.
