Significant emphasis has been put on visiting facilities.
Through digital simulations, 4D planning, and automated configuration tools, stakeholders can fine-tune facility designs to meet standard requirements, optimising every aspect.. By digitally modelling processes or assets as Chips, we can quickly assess their current effectiveness and explore potential changes across diverse scenarios.This depth of analysis is impossible when focusing solely on individual components.
Chips allow easy value adjustments that support targeted process optimisation, leading to seamless improvements in productivity.. Planning for the future becomes straightforward, allowing consideration of various data variables, such as market trends, and calculating their impact on energy or space requirements.Testing multiple options reveals the optimum capital investment to maximise future flexibility across different markets.. Benefits of modelling using chips.Once a client’s requirements are thoroughly assessed, a Chip library becomes a powerful tool for the design team, offering:.
- Clear project brief understanding.. - Efficient test fits to maximise site utilisation.. - Future-proof expansion and phasing plans.. - Quick costing methods for all options.. - Utilities requirements assessment.. - Standardisation and design optimisation..The above diagram illustrates how Chip Thinking® helps in understanding project briefs, test fits, future expansion, and standardisation..
Streamlined design and construction.
Reference Design.This is heightened by the fact that nuclear plants are currently providing about half of Europe’s clean energy, which leads to the obvious question: how can we justify shutting them down and replacing them with coal and gas?.
Rising Carbon Emissions.Alarmingly, despite having spent decades now talking about action for climate, carbon emissions continue to rise year-on-year.
In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic was almost undetectable in terms of carbon emissions, with the highest ever emissions growth in 2019/2020.Although it felt like the world economy stopped in certain ways, it really didn’t.
