Process engineering and MMC: a Design to Value approach

If these additional modular construction costs can be offset by large improvements in construction site efficiency, for example by relocating wet trades or complex specialist trades away from the site, a 3D module might make sense.

This is thanks to the whole project team's successful delivery of a large and complex project ahead of schedule and under budget during a global pandemic.. GSK Parma Attachment Inhibitor: meeting a life-saving need.Aiming to introduce manufacturing capability into GSK’s Parma site for Fostemsavir (a life-saving HIV drug for patients with limited or no other treatment options available), this project’s brief was ambitious.. To maintain supply while the drug was in development and clinical trials, GSK had to build and commission a brand new facility in a shorter timeframe than had ever been achieved before.. As lead designer, Bryden Wood formed a collaborative team with external partners and client representatives to capture functional requirements in “Chip” models that could be rapidly configured to allow many design options to be evaluated in a short time..

The ability to undertake rapid digital optioneering was particularly important as forecast demand volumes were uncertain and clinical manufacturing requirements for the drug were still being developed during the design phase.We developed a capacity model in-house to inform decisions around unit operations and scale..The final design concept was deliberately simple.

Process spaces were housed on a single level, raised above the ground to meet flood protection requirements.A technical floor was located above the process.

Offsite modular prefabrication helped improve programme delivery..

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..Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..

While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects..
