It was whilst working at Faber Maunsell that Richard first worked with Bryden Wood on a number of hi-tech Data Centre projects.
The question is how you can move into detailed design, construction and beyond while firmly keeping hold of that conceptual value..Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).
Integrated Project Delivery is not a new idea and there are many flavours of it available in the world of infrastructure, some with more demonstrated success than others.There is a lot of evidence that well-implemented IPD has significant benefits in project management terms i.e.projects get delivered more reliably to scope, cost and time.
While this is an important measure the big prize is in securing the delivery to a wider set of value drivers.. Never a fan of extolling a particular flavour or brand of approach, I am much more interested in the ingredients and the principles of any approach.For me, there are a number of foundations that make IPD valuable: -.
Each party does what they are best at and this includes the client.
Having spent many years in projects I realised that our allocation of work is so often skewed by a mode of thinking and processes that ultimately destroys value.In my curiosity, I decided I wanted to know the answer to a simple question.
Having been involved a little in a project to look at the production of carbon-neutral synthetic aviation fuel and conversations about the replacement of coal-fired power stations with small nuclear energy generation; I wanted to know how many small nuclear plants it would take to replace the totality of aviation fuel.Given that it seems that using agricultural biofuels is a cul-de-sac; I imagined all the synthetic fuel being fixed from CO2 in the atmosphere.. Now I am aware that my calculations may be wrong, I used good, referenced papers and information, but I can make mistakes.
The answer I came to was, at first, shocking.Data suggests that the demand for Kerosene within 10 years will be 100 billion Gallons per year.
