The larger the temperature difference, the harder the mechanical cooling system must work.

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesDeveloping our Design to Value approach as pharmaceutical plant design consultants.In 2012, Bryden Wood and GlaxoSmithKline started working together to try and come up with a different approach to pharmaceutical capital projects.

We started from the premise that while a great deal of effort was expended by a lot of expert people within both pharmaceutical and engineering companies, and despite the significant sums being spent, capital projects often failed to meet business requirements.And how could we do better in our approach to pharmaceutical facility design?.We developed a particular set of tools and an approach that over time became what we now refer to as Design to Value.

As we have evolved this approach over the years, we’ve extended it to include many more pharmaceutical engineering projects, as well as a wide range of other sectors, from heavy industry to prisons.. Part of our role is to act as pharmaceutical plant design consultants.What we aim to do is make sure that projects are well aligned with business requirements; to define and design future assets that translate a company’s strategic objectives into tangible manufacturing facilities – and provide added value.

The key point here is that we put a great deal of effort into defining the business needs.

That is, after all, why we're doing the project.. We also invest effort into constantly assessing how well our design solutions match those needs.It was also the programme which first proposed the use of construction Platforms.

This idea has now been adopted by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and is a central focus of the Construction Innovation Hub.. We are both proud and pleased to be part of the gathering momentum around these approaches.The potential of design to transform lives within the prison system and way beyond, is inspiring..
