The use of data in a consistent way, as part of the information management mandate, will be key to ensuring ongoing effectiveness across the whole life-cycle.

Repurposing Coal: how a P-DfMA approach will help coal-fired power stations fight climate change.Bryden Wood unveils digital platform for decarbonising electricity production by 2050Above - in this video, Architecture Director Steven Tilkin describes Bryden Wood's approach to designing a new type of prison [image MoJ].. An innovative approach from an innovative Ministry.

The cycle of re-offending is a huge cost to the UK economy.A 2016 study of a group of offenders who re-offended within 12 months of release from prison estimated that the total economic and social cost of reoffending was £18.1 billion..The Prison Estate Transformation Programme (PETP) was a programme of 10,000 ‘new for old’ adult prison places across six sites (plus one new house block) at an estimated value £1.3 billion.

The full PETP programme was retired and superseded by a new programme, but, at the time, it provided an opportunity to develop a new type of prison environment using a platform based Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approach – one whose core purpose was to increase the likelihood of rehabilitation and reduce re-offending rates.This was used in the design of the two prisons being delivered under PETP (HMP Five Wells at Wellingborough and at Glen Parva) and formed the basis for the current capacity programme.

It would do this by:.

Putting safety, security and rehabilitation at the heart of prisons.through repeatable processes.. Lincoln’s background - ranging from carpentry to senior roles in construction innovation - has convinced him that detailed, standard designs can be scaled quickly and flexibly, making data centre production more predictable..

The AI Factor: Handling new workloads and higher power densities.One of the biggest challenges in the sector is the rise in AI-driven computing, which dramatically increases server rack power density and heat generation.

This shift forces data centre developers to adjust their strategies.As Lincoln puts it:.
