When things are backed up from the client side, the supply chain can have confidence in evolving their approach and the departments will have confidence procuring this way as well.We’ll find that small steps make a significant difference.
It won’t take long..The Supply Chain and SMEs.At Bryden Wood we’re starting to see a real surge of interest from lower tiers of the supply chain, which supports the idea that one major benefit of all of this will be that we'll unlock SMEs in a way that probably hasn't been done before.
In other words, the disintermediation will start to bear significant fruit.While the Tier One role is likely to see the biggest change and will probably face the biggest challenge ahead in terms of evolving their mindsets and positions for the future models, the SMEs might be doing more of what they do, but better and more consistently.
SMEs make up a massive portion of the industry, with significant diversity, and we’ll probably also start seeing disruptors in this space as well..
The Construction Innovation Hub is currently working with a wide range of partners including individual consultants and small companies.Due to the site and land use challenges posed by wind and solar power, attempting to meet our vast energy needs with renewable technologies alone would be prohibitively difficult.
As a result, we’ll need help from complementary, advanced heat solutions to bend the curve on carbon emissions and meet our net zero goals.. One of the biggest decarbonisation challenges we face, and one of the biggest opportunities presented to us, comes in the form of repowering coal power plants.Incredibly, the coal-fired capacity being used in the world today is emitting around 15 billion tonnes of carbon emissions each year, representing almost half of all our carbon emissions.
Bryden Wood is working alongside non-profit TerraPraxis, as part of the Repowering Coal Initiative.We’re developing transformative design and construction solutions aimed at retrofitting the existing coal-fired power plants for suitability with new nuclear, advanced heat solutions, while still retaining the substantial societal and economic value of the existing power plant infrastructure.
