Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030.The latest policy refresh has been to Transforming Infrastructure Performance.
The first TIP documents came out in 2017 around the suite of Industrial Strategy documents, setting out a vision for how we would start to drive value and deliver our infrastructure.The Construction Playbook then set out key policies and guidance for how public works projects and programmes are assessed, procured and delivered.TIP 2021 has moved on significantly, painting a much more vivid picture..
Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030, sets out a vision for innovation and reform in infrastructure delivery, covering target and focus areas, as well as providing robust requirements for government clients to deliver against.The document makes it clear that the UK government is seeking a step change in productivity across the way we plan, design, manufacture, construct and operate.
In short, everything needs to change, and the Roadmap to 2030 offers the tools to do that.
The Roadmap goes beyond MMC and DfMA, looking at a holistic approach to delivering differently, not just in terms of platform construction and the kit-of-parts, but also the processes that come with it..For some clients, accuracy in delivery is the most important thing.
For others, such as the UK’s busiest airport, Heathrow, the biggest benefit arises from having the fewest number of people on site and the fastest possible delivery.What this means is that ultimately there are many different forms of P-DfMA which are appropriate.. With Platform construction (P-DfMA), we’ve attempted to take everything we’ve learned in our client work and embed it in a set of components that clients and the industry more generally can benefit from.
We’re focusing on the least amount of material, the lowest carbon materials, the highest levels of productivity.These are the driving principles of P-DfMA and industrialised construction more generally..
