Graduate careers at Bryden Wood

We look at what is likely to happen, the capacity different countries have to make different vaccines, and how such factors would affect the global supply.

It enables speed of installation through on-site assembly of prefabricated and pre-assembled parts in a safe and controlled manner.And given the nature of data centres, they lend themselves particularly well to this approach, where standardisation of the end-user product is paramount.. DfMA brings precisely the reliability, predictability and speed to market that our data centre clients want and benefit from..

Creating sustainable data centres.The biggest environmental impact of data centres is in their use of power and water for cooling, but they are also heavy in terms of embedded carbon.Carbon is embedded in the structure of buildings as everyone knows, but in data centres significantly more so in the M&E equipment within them.

As we optimise the geometry and layout of the structure, plant and systems we can have a positive effect on the amount of embodied carbon in the building, structure and systems.. Our more sustainable approach to close coupling and integration increases efficiency in cooling and distribution losses and also lessens the carbon intensive materials used in these systems.. Our industrialisation and digital design approach allows us to quantify this carbon content during design, and minimise the content through optimisation and materials selection.It means our clients can make arrangements for carbon offsetting prior to the data centre facility being handed over.. We continue to investigate and take opportunities to make use of the heat that is generated by the cooling of data centres.

with provision for heat export suitable for connection to district heating or industrial processes where viable.. We are also working with data centre clients on alternative sources of clean energy; an area where we see significant potential for data centres to become autonomous, and to promote the use of cleaner standby power systems.. A positive future for data centre design.

As society’s requirement for data processing grows, so the market for data centres will continue to grow – and at a frantic pace.Bryden Wood’s work with Landsec on The Forge in London represents just such an exciting opportunity and case study.

The Forge is a world first, an office building created using a platform based (P-DfMA) approach to design and construction.The project aims to produce the UK’s first net-zero carbon commercial building.

With this innovative project we’re witnessing years of development work coming to fruition, which is better enabling us to understand both the challenges and the benefits of this new process on a deeper level..If we truly aim to create a better future for construction, we must first recognise that implementing a new way of working will require a process of continual learning and progress.
