Cladding Crossrail's tunnels
What it really comes down to is different scenarios, related to levels of investment, and what that will consist of.
To produce this amount of synthetic Kerosine from CO2 will need approx.With the output of a small nuclear plant being about 1.4x10.
Mj you would need about 800 plants..In the world today there are less than 200 nuclear submarines and about 440 full-scale nuclear reactors which have been developed in the last 70 years since the first in 1951.So purely to replace aviation fuel we must exponentially increase our ability to deliver hardware.
And of course, it doesn’t have to be nuclear.50,000 wind turbines would also deliver the required power, in the world today there are already 350,000.. Industrialisation of the past advanced many things for humans, but it has also led us into this deep furrow.
The fourth industrial revolution has often been proclaimed as that of AI, Machine Learning, the internet of things, but the fourth industrial revolution needs to be about decarbonisation.
This will be about the industrialisation of wind, wave, water, solar power; industrialisation of energy saving, carbon-capture and energy storage.By MMC, we mean all forms of innovation in construction - physical forms like P-DfMA, as well as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), robotics, data, automation, point cloud surveys, and so on… This is all in addition to the frequently used term ‘offsite’ which, in fact, only represents one aspect of MMC, or industrialized construction.
We aren’t exclusively referring to the process of manufacturing large modules in factories and moving everything off construction sites.Although offsite will certainly form part of the solution, we propose to use a full range of new techniques and technologies, including platform design.
Our approach creates an entirely new way of working, one which sets out to achieve the best possible outcomes right from the start.This makes sure that the goals of quality, efficiency, suitability, productivity and sustainability inform every stage of the process.. By adopting a way of working that includes P-DfMA and a standard component design programme, we can achieve repeatable and consistent quality, and also facilitate operational and delivery excellence across projects.
