As the Nitrogen evaporates, a blanket of cold Nitrogen forms on the floor and rises upwards, thereby excluding the oxygen necessary for human life.. For the new facility, they wanted to make sure no-one had to go near the storage vessels.

Every sequence generates six terabytes of data, and Illumina’s HQ houses about 80 sequencers, running around the clock, generating significant amounts of heat.So, a key issue is to ensure there are aqequate cooling systems.

But we were tasked to review all equipment specifications, for the chillers, air handling units, pumps, or anything else, essentially to protect the client and make sure they got they were paying for.And once installation was completed, we helped with witnessing commissioning, and then monitoring the functioning of the new building through its defects liability period..Since that initial role, we have carried out a number of other MEP projects for Illumina, including extensive heat load testing, lab upgrades and the repurposing of existing offices and other facilities.

One major issue for clients in this sort of field is that science moves so fast that buildings quickly become out of date.And the changing use of building spaces has been exacerbated by COVID reducing the requirement for office space even further..

In this context, we have converted offices to pilot labs with a high density of fume cupboards and clean room facilities.

We have also built an incubator/accelerator project; a lab building for startups.By utilising advanced simulations and analytics, teams at Bryden Wood can optimise designs to achieve higher sustainability standards, ultimately contributing to the broader goal of reducing the industry’s carbon footprint..

These insights provide a deeper understanding of how we are integrating sustainability into our projects and the importance of DfMA and interdisciplinary collaboration in driving these initiatives..Learn more about how we cut carbon on The Forge in our video, '.

Exploring The Forge: A Video Insight into Cutting-Edge Carbon Reduction.Bryden Wood’s unique, 10-step design approach to Passivhaus, and our adoption of Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA), facilitates the achievement of stringent Passivhaus performance targets, creating the perfect response to reduce construction cost and programme, whilst also responding to the labour skills shortage.At the same time, our innovative approach facilitates a well-integrated design that addresses the complexities of Passivhaus via high-quality fabrication..
