What Do the Lights on Shark Vacuums Mean? [Green, Red, Off]

Awareness of what engineers do, and the attractions of the industry, is improving.

Jack Ricketts, a planner at London Borough of Southwark, doesn’t want to see the planning process holding others back.While working on projects funded by the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), Ricketts sought to avoid the possibility of duplicating work, or becoming an accidental blocker to the process.

He reached out to industry expert Miranda Sharp for help in making a shift towards digital data.Sharp’s company, Metis Digital, works with a range of companies trying to connect technical assets and data to value.During her time working with the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) on the National Digital Twin Programme (NDTp), Sharp sought secure and resilient ways of connecting digital twins to deliver the common good, and looked for real examples of people trying to connect data in order to tackle cross-silo issues.

The goal was to facilitate more efficient planning and operation, as well as to make data available to a wider ecosystem, including all of the people involved in critical infrastructure planning.. Sharp says CDBB knew the desired activity was possible theoretically, but needed a place where there was real demand to bring the information together.When Jack Ricketts contacted her about his desire to digitise planning, it seemed a perfect opportunity..

Stages of information transfer in design and construction.

There are various stages of information involved in the creation of a new building, or an extension of a domestic dwelling.In our work on façade engineering, we apply the principles of our pioneering work in technology and design for manufacture and assembly, to bring a wide range of benefits to our construction partners, and to clients..

Projects such as the landmark.Edinburgh St James Centre.
