The book illuminates just how difficult it would be to meet our decarbonisation goals with renewables alone, and dispels wrong assumptions held about nuclear energy based on old, outdated ideas.. Now Gogan serves on the UK government's Nuclear Innovation and Research Advisory Board, the board of US NGO, Nuclear Innovation Alliance, as well as the French NGO, Voices for Nuclear.
test types, technology options, demand scenarios) into an equipment list..Using a design configurator to rapidly translate this equipment list, a library of equipment and building components, and codified design rules (e.g.
building regulations, safety, and quality standards) into a coordinated and compliant multidisciplinary facility design..Using an execution model to rapidly translate this lab design, historic project data, and other inputs, into a cost and programme estimate, as well as other useful business metrics.. Fast Lab allows teams to complete all these steps in a single workshop, with numerous design iterations, scenarios, and improvements taking place in real time.This makes it possible to start permitting, procurement, and construction activities in a matter of weeks, rather than months, and opens the door to warp-speed lab deployment.. Fast Lab combines our experience in multidisciplinary lab design, capacity modelling, asset optimisation, automated design tools, and the creation of fast, scalable solutions to the world’s biggest construction challenges.
It is aimed at life science businesses and developers including:.Larger businesses looking to design and construct their own labs..
Smaller businesses trying to identify the best premises to buy or lease..
Developers who want to construct labs that are a good fit for their target market..These typologies were called Platforms because they embody the common features of multiple assets: structural grids, beams, columns, connectors, slabs etc.
Behind these commonalities lies a common kit of components, a much smaller set of components vs bespoke, traditional construction.. A limited number of components streamlines compliance.The analysis showed that in fact 70% of the public sector estate could be delivered by one structural platform: a mid-span c.8m structural solution.
As platforms ‘lock down’ the set of component specifications that sit behind design, this reduces the set of technical variables and requirements.This immediately standardises the process and streamlines the range of technical compliance as a result.
