Ensuring that communication is clear and unambiguous, so the parties receiving it can generate the maximum benefit..
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.How to deal with irregular site design, different business drivers and limitations of template designs.How to do the above and meet acceptable price points.
How to find sites with reliable power.How to shorten overall programme durations.
How to develop the expertise and constraints of the supply chain, including integrators to get them “on the curve”!.
How to find outlets for waste heat.The brief cannot – or should not – exist in splendid isolation.
It must take into account the massing of the hospital, the plant and M&E requirements, servicing facilities, the extent and location of the car parks.In our minds, the brief is intrinsically linked to the construction strategy.
It is intrinsically linked to the overall feasibility of the building.. We are an integrated company, with multi-disciplinary teams working across all our projects from the earliest stages.We have a strong background in technology, engineering and construction.
