In Australia, they’re getting pressure from Asia.

as a permanent shutter for concrete.As much ‘intelligence’ as possible is then placed in the interfaces (e.g.

bracketry which is self locating to control tolerances and is colour coded to ensure correct application etc.)The ‘intelligent’ components are small, manually handleable and accurately mass produced..The level of bespoke production is thus focussed on far less tonnage than designs for e.g.

traditional steel composite or flat slab solutions.. Repeatable, standard elements such as the brackets and temporary works are designed to be robotically fabricated directly from the digital library.On The Forge, SME Easi-Space worked with BSI to develop the standard for robotic welding of structural components:.

Digital files from the model can be sent directly to the fabricator.

Certification to BSI and UKCA standards.When public money is being spent at such scale, the opportunity to increase benefits across the piece while also making the money go further is surely one that we should seize.. A proven approach.

Our approach is proven to work.There is nothing stopping us from doing this other than inertia and reluctance among some parties to change from traditional methods of design and construction.

But as recent events have shown, traditional is not good enough.. We need new approaches, and smart solutions.Fortunately, we have them..
