retrofit options, dampening the difference with a new build..

Adrian currently leads the growing process engineering team at Bryden Wood, further adapting the practice of design to value, integrated design,.design for manufacture and assembly.

to a range of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, industrial and process sector projects.. Adrian’s previous roles span major engineering and construction companies, blue-chip manufacturing, and consultancy, across Europe, the US and Singapore.Prior to joining Bryden Wood, he led the technical development and process engineering on complex projects in diverse sectors, particularly pharmaceuticals and vaccines but extending to food, fine chemicals, consumer products, battery technology, industrial fibres, waste treatment and nuclear.His roles have included lead process engineer and technology manager on numerous projects, head of process engineering and technology director and project management.

In the latter he has specialised in early-stage project development, working in British Nuclear Group’s decommissioning group and with GSK’s global project development group (the ‘front-end-factory’)..He specialises in the application of process simulation to capital projects, particularly the application of tools commonly used in other sectors, such as dynamic and discrete-event methods and batch processes.

Adrian has developed and led approaches to managing process development and scale-up projects, and their integration with capital projects.Alastair is a chartered architect designing innovative facilities in the life sciences and broader industrial and energy sectors.

He is particularly interested in finding fast, scalable solutions to big global challenges, such as climate change or vaccine production, and uses a range of methods to achieve this including:.This Reference Design can then be built again and again as a fixed product, by clients who have control over site conditions, as per the MoJ Houseblocks..

But for those who need flexibility, the Reference Design becomes far easier to configure flexibly into a physical asset when broken down into its ‘Chips’ (with more or less flexibility in how these are arranged depending on the asset type.)By digitally modelling the design against the given brief/constraints using Chips, we can quickly see how well the design will work, and what we can adapt to fit the wide range of needs and constraints involved.

This ability to adapt the configuration of a design would be impossible in a design expressed as 100% single components..The ‘local’ design is then focused on ground conditions, utilities, infrastructure, placemaking, flows of people etc..
