In addition to recycling construction waste on 100% of projects, Chandos is also working to advance collaboration and innovation in the construction industry through Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)..

It’s a great industry to be in.You can be doing anything.

You can be involved in healthcare, you can be involved in humanitarian levels, through to quite heavy engineering for dams and things like that, which can physically change people’s lives.So it’s a great time to be in it.Within Bryden Wood I don’t feel that there are any blockers.

I have felt it in other companies that I’ve worked, but no.I think there are enough [female] role models at very very senior levels that there aren’t any blockers within it..

There are enough examples of extremely great women out there who are doing some really really great things, that people don’t see it as men and women, just your colleagues, and that’s where we’ve needed to get to and I think that’s where we’re at.. To a young woman considering a role in engineering, I would say, ‘do it.’ It will take you wherever you want to go.

If you want to stay local to your area, you can.Previously, we have covered the general benefits of discrete event simulation (DEM) in construction (https://www.brydenwood.co.uk/discreteeventsimulation/s97989/), and the increasing use of these powerful tools as a core part of automation in construction.

The need for these tools is on the rise as design and construction continue to tackle some of the largest issues an industry could face: low and declining productivity, poor predictability, shrinking workforce and skills shortages.Other industries have been able to embrace new approaches and technologies to see continual year-on-year increases in labour productivity and other areas.

As we move towards the future, construction firms will need to embrace construction automation and MMC, to create positive transformation in the industry.. Case study: DES for analysis of automated truss fabrication.Recently, Bryden Wood has collaborated with Tata Steel and the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) on the FASTtruss project for automated design and fabrication of steel truss assemblies, for medium-to-large-span buildings.
