On-site vs off-site construction
The artificiality of grasping for certainty was a flawed survival strategy.
The ‘intelligent’ components are small, manually handleable and accurately mass produced..The level of bespoke production is thus focussed on far less tonnage than designs for e.g.
traditional steel composite or flat slab solutions.. Repeatable, standard elements such as the brackets and temporary works are designed to be robotically fabricated directly from the digital library.On The Forge, SME Easi-Space worked with BSI to develop the standard for robotic welding of structural components:.Digital files from the model can be sent directly to the fabricator.
Certification to BSI and UKCA standards.Fabrication of structures and components for structures up to 15 stories high using steel, aluminium and stainless steel.
Execution Class 2 requires welds to be completed to ±0.4mm on steel and ±0.0 on aluminium.
Certification is for the full factory control procedure including procurement, processing, fabrication, storage, Q&A and delivery with documentation at every stage.and we have continued to expand on and optimise Platforms and other MMC methodologies in our work with both public and private sector clients.
We’ve never sought to patent our work and we have open sourced the code for both of our construction design apps - SEISMIC and PRISM.Our goal is to bring about maximum benefit for the wider industry and society.
We encourage our clients to join us on this journey by allowing others to benefit from the knowledge and systems we create for each project.This creates a kind of reinforcing circle across the public and private sectors.
