Using reversable joints for steelwork connections so that beams and columns can be disassembled in their primary form, allows them to be re-used rather than be melted down and recycled as a raw material.

2. , which shows how vital it is for the industry to change if we are to reduce carbon emissions and help combat climate change..This is a lot to accomplish, but it offers Bryden Wood an opportunity to make great steps towards this goal and lead by example, by promoting methods to reduce emissions in the chemical engineering sector.. We started studying this problem to see if it would be possible to produce plastics more sustainably.

And we have found that existing carbon capture technologies have the potential to change the way industrial plastics are produced.. Industrial Plastic Production: Reducing Carbon Emissions.As we know, industrial plastics are used in many items we use every day.From nylon stockings to Teflon-coated cooking pans, we all use these types of plastics in some form or other.

Industrial plastics have become so prevalent precisely because of their wide range of uses.And while they have been historically carbon heavy in their production, they also have the potential, in fact, to lessen carbon emissions in certain areas.. One positive example we are seeing of the increased use of industrial plastics is engineered plastics adding benefit as alternative building materials.

By reducing costs through lightening loads, and acting as better insulators to increase heating efficiency, industrial plastics have clear scope to deliver substantial cost benefits.

These materials are useful, therefore, and we shouldn’t discount their potential in this area because of their historically carbon emission heavy synthesis.. Our goal, therefore, is to find ways to make the production of industrial plastics less reliant on fossil fuels and to reduce their carbon footprint as much as possible..We can turn to techniques such as robotic welding to make the parts, for example, and use popular distribution warehousing equipment on site.

Such processes require fewer people and increase worker safety.In a socially distanced, post Covid-19 world, the advantages are even greater.. Standardisation in construction: making the most of what works best.

It’s worth stressing again that standardisation in construction is not a negative, and it’s not unique to platform design either.We’ve found that most clients want a certain level of standardisation.
