This framework proposes Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) as a metric for assessing the scale of MMC adoption on a project.
Small modular reactors are looking to address some of the licensing and regulation issues with repeatable modular design.. Based upon conversations and work with the small nuclear development ecosystem, there was a stated view that an industrialised modular nuclear offering is 20 years in the future.This view is in stark contrast to some who believe we will see offerings in three to five years.
The difference may be in the maturity of the technology.Without proven repeatability, regulation will remain arduous.Development is in progress, but the market is still some years from a pilot..
Some of the group suggested that the market for this technology is currently dysfunctional: modular nuclear developers have an idea and are looking for niche markets (for instance, replacing coal-fired power stations with SMRs, as well as data centre power).It was suggested that the DC industry could help focus and accelerate development through the creation of an Industry-Brief defining the market.
This idea, of course, would need further collaboration across the DC ecosystem.. To bring the session to a close, there was a round-up of the issues and barriers that need to be solved in the short term.
How to deal with irregular site design, different business drivers and limitations of template designs.Brick Link hosts thousands of third parties from which one can select by region, rating, price etc.
In a Platform context this would mean selecting the most local supplier, or one that best aligns to your choice of value driver.It’s a community; as well as a transactional marketplace, people can also share ideas and designs.
As we move forwards, this will be vital to transforming construction; creating a community or ‘movement’ and sharing best practice will benefit us all.. IKEA enhancement.Ikea is another excellent example of a Platform that most people are familiar with.
