Industrialised ConstructionThe Benefits of Design to Value: To the Environment.
The works should be complete early 2022.. Pharmaceutical Facility Design for GSK.We've done a lot of work for GSK over four sites now, principally in Stevenage, where we built a new cryogenics building.
This was a really interesting project because there are two things in it that are probably unique, certainly in the UK, if not in the world..This building contains hundreds of thousands of samples, stored in vats of liquid nitrogen at -278o centigrade.Currently, accessing the samples is a manual process which exposes the users to risk of asphyxiation due to their close proximity to the liquid Nitrogen.
As the Nitrogen evaporates, a blanket of cold Nitrogen forms on the floor and rises upwards, thereby excluding the oxygen necessary for human life.. For the new facility, they wanted to make sure no-one had to go near the storage vessels.So they commissioned a US company called Brooks to design a robot that could collect samples and deliver them to the scientist, in a way that’s a bit like a vending machine.
Our challenge was to design and build the building around the robot system which was a world first and still in development.. Additionally, the way Bryden Wood have designed the extraction systems is a UK - and probably world first.
Because these rooms are highly hazardous, the air change rate must be high in volume, but it must also be at low level physically.Platforms: Bridging the gap between construction and manufacture.Applying a digital methodology to organic complexity.
Authors: Steven Tilkin and Tanya Oram..There are many ways to approach master planning in design.
At Bryden Wood, we combine our core principle of Design to Value with an overarching digital methodology to deliver master plans that tackle the most complex of scenarios.This enables us to give clients overall clarity and big-picture understanding, together with highly detailed recommendations and a range of practical, prioritised solutions..
