This model ensures shared risks and rewards, which significantly enhances alignment and efficiency among stakeholders.
FF&E, finishes and external works follow a traditional approach.Two new leisure centres in Barnet have opened to the public with state-of-the-art facilities.Barnet Copthall has competition, community and learner swimming pools, a sports hall, extensive contemporary gym facilities and health improvement rooms.
While, Barnet Leisure Centre also has a community and learner pool, alongside a health and fitness suite, health improvement rooms, a library, tennis courts and multi-use games area.. Use of BIM for lean, sustainable solutions.Working with the main contractor, Graham Construction, and sub contractor MSL Engineering Ltd, Bryden Wood made extensive use of BIM to solve the complex challenges to mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineers, such as heating large spaces, solving significant air handling challenges, mitigating the risk of condensation from the pools and managing CO. 2. levels efficiently in exercise areas.. Collaborative working.Bryden Wood built a detailed BIM model for M&E, which was key to effective collaboration between all stakeholders from contractors to the client, Barnet Council.
The virtual environment made it clear how a design detail or proposal would look, and fit, as you can see from the images.More importantly still, it showed all stakeholders how different systems and proposals would.
allowing many different solutions to be evaluated, so that the best one could be found.. Optimised energy use.
Extensive environment modelling and energy analysis in the model was used to optimise energy use.The prisons are designed with the ability to fine-tune security.
The design allows operators the flexibility to use different houseblocks to ‘upgrade’ and ‘downgrade’ security as needed,to accommodate prisoners with different needs.. Current status.The first prison to adopt these design principles is the 1,680 place prison, HMP Five Wells, on the site of the former HMP Wellingborough, due for completion in 2021..
The house block design is the new standard that is being adopted across the planned prison estate expansion and will be used across several sites, both for new prisons and for adding capacity to existing sites.. Impact on wider industry.Through initiatives like the Construction Innovation Hub the UK government is investing significant time and effort into establishing standardised components specifications and even asset types.
