Rail: Automated Infrastructure Design.

Traditionally, custom-designed nuclear grade facilities enclose a mixture of safety-critical, safety-supporting and other systems.Our approach is to separate out these systems and then standardise and optimise them as much as possible..

Replacing coal: process.simplification and standardisation.A standardised, mass-customisable design solution will make it possible to use algorithmic design for key design tasks:.

Coal plant viability for refurbishment can be assessed using automatic tools.Initial concepts can be produced using algorithmic design tools.

Detailed design outputs for manufacturing can be produced automatically.

The review and approval process is simplified dramatically.What will happen year on year, and at the end of a building’s life?.

Embodied carbon in sustainable building design.One of the core issues we’re trying to tackle with sustainable design revolves around carbon.

We know a lot about operational carbon and how buildings operate.Data helps us to close the performance gap and make sure buildings perform as well as, or even better than, they do in the design stage.
