This method uses simple commodities like standard steel sections and in situ concrete with highly optimised interfaces manufactured at scale.
The focus of his work and training lie within the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering department, where he is actively engaged in expanding his knowledge base and skillset.As a Bryden Wood apprentice, Charlie has had the unique opportunity to learn from colleagues, whilst receiving valuable training on integral industry software programs such as Revit, Navisworks and CAD.
‘I work alongside Mechanical and Electrical Engineers,’ says Charlie, ‘modelling their design into Revit and producing drawings and 3D models...Depending on the project, I also attend project meetings and may even visit site.’.Hall is enthusiastic about his apprenticeship role at Bryden Wood, describing how the experience has not only fulfilled his expectations, but also advanced his ambitions.‘I was always interested in engineering.
I was unsure about what type of engineering I wanted to go into, but I kept my options open and looked into all aspects of engineering… The idea of an apprenticeship appealed to me massively because I would be gaining work experience in a subject I enjoy and earning at the same time.’.Hall spent the first year of his apprenticeship working at Bryden Wood whilst attending Oakwoods college one day per week, completing his PEO in Engineering.
Following this, he advanced to study for a Level 3 BTEC in Engineering.
At the end of the current academic year, he will move into higher education, working towards a part time degree in Building Services Engineering.We can fine tune the building to make it run as efficiently as possible before it is even built, making further energy cost savings..
Sustainable design and build for the circular economy.We shouldn’t stop at lowering embodied and operational carbon when creating low carbon, sustainable buildings.
A building’s impact starts before the building exists and carries on past the end of its useful life, as part of the circular economy.We can demonstrate that early sustainable impact can have an exponentially positive impact on carbon savings and the creation of our sustainable future.. Second-hand, locally sourced materials can influence design.
