Specifications like these provide a precise and consistent brief for manufacturers to respond to.

It talks about the strong link between digital and physical, in that, once you have these components, it unlocks configurators and the potential for a digital marketplace.TIP 2021 talks about factory-like conditions on site.. There’s been an increasing sophistication around people's understanding of modern methods of construction, in that MMC doesn't just mean offsite, and neither does platform construction (P-DfMA), We’re starting to talk much more about the real drivers.

We want our assets delivered in a way that’s better, faster and greener.The aim is for less material, fewer people, higher productivity, and automation and activity where it's best suited..The emphasis with The Roadmap to 2030 is very much on that process from concept and design, right through to the end of an asset’s life.

The use of data in a consistent way, as part of the information management mandate, will be key to ensuring ongoing effectiveness across the whole life-cycle.Transforming Infrastructure Performance 2021 is positive, accessible and hopefully provides the drive needed to invest in change by looking for opportunities to align with the rest of the industry, and by taking small steps which can be expanded upon for further growth.. On a related note, although the definition of what we mean by a platform approach to construction is now becoming more fulsome, we can still go back to the IPA document from 2018 and continue to find it completely relevant and valid.

This demonstrates a consistency of thinking which should be quite reassuring.

TIP 2021 is just a more detailed roadmap, and this should be helpful to people if they are struggling with the concepts.We should not use nuclear because of radiation risks.

We should not use nuclear because of accident risks.Storing spent fuel is an important aspect to consider as some spent fuel emits radiation for a long time.

Opponents of nuclear argue that no long-term strategy for storing waste has been developed.The nuclear industry responds that a lot of industrial processes also produce toxic materials that need to be handled responsibly over a long period of time.
