To realise this ecosystem, Bryden Wood is involved in developing a technological infrastructure that provides tools and services that make it easy for customers and suppliers to interact to realise the required refurbishments.. To make that possible, Bryden Wood also need to create an engineering platform solution: a building system that can deliver the required variety of solutions for differing requirements in different situations, but that is rationalised, standardised and optimised appropriately to enable the required simplification of all processes that make it possible for the supply chain to collaboratively deliver this built solution.. New nuclear: system simplification and standardisation with P-DfMA.Existing coal plants vary widely.

There are very different site layouts and different levels of site conditions.The seismic conditions in particular are very important, as they have a major impact on the design of the safety systems and therefore increase the complexity of the design.Existing power stations also vary in capacity, and the various nuclear reactor technologies are also different from each other..

The strategy for achieving the required level of standardisation is to isolate variability.Six standardised seismic isolation solutions can deal with most of the seismic conditions we will encounter.

A standardised, customisable heat transfer system allows the new nuclear systems to plug in to the existing coal plant infrastructure.

A standardised cross-section design encloses the various types of reactor technologies while being able to expand to deal with various sizes of capacity that are required.– we look for the patterns that describe how design systems and processes work and we turn them into machine-readable logics and rules.

Algorithmic design.– we use different algorithms to suit different patterns, but we are cautious.

Algorithmic processes can be complex and not easy to understand, so we look for moments of intervention within processes that allow people to interfere and hopefully understand the process.(And we document everything!).
