As the airport sees over 100,000 passengers every day, the team wanted to minimise the disruption to airport operations.<\/p>\n<p>Kit-of-parts uses a design-for-manufacture-and-assembly (DfMA) workflow, building large sections of the building in a factory<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/skills-shortage-could-be-allayed-by-offsite-steel-frame-construction\/144988\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> offsite<\/a>, and then bringing them onsite when they are ready to be added to the building.<\/p>\n<p>The approach also uses digital technologies, including manufacturing software and laser-based positioning systems alongside more traditional construction software, reducing adjustments needed onsite.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe use of responsive digital design is a must for projects of this scale\u201d<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macegroup.com\/about-us\/our-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mace<\/a> estimates that just under 60% of the new Manchester Airport pier project has been moved to off-site factories as a result of the kit-of-parts approach. They also estimate that 125 tons of CO2 emissions have been prevented.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Randall, pre-construction director at Mace, said: \u201cBy using a kit-of-parts approach at Manchester Airport, we were able to reduce the number of components used to build each node from over 5000 to just 67, reducing the projected construction time from hundreds to just tens of days. This kind of rapid iteration and scaling wouldn\u2019t be possible without close collaboration, ongoing learning, and a willingness to embrace new ways of building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haydn Roberts, operations director at Pro Steel Engineering, said: \u201cThe new kit-of-parts approach has revolutionised the way we\u2019re able to successfully operate and deliver projects in time-restricted\/critical environments. The digital design approach was invaluable for this project, and we will now be considering it for all projects of this nature moving forward. By seamlessly integrating it with our own design, fabrication, and installation methodology, we were able to manage and coordinate 100% of the steel-to-steel connection design, steelwork fabrication, intumescent fire-rated paint system and cladding application in controlled conditions within the factory, before even needing to step foot on the airport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis not only significantly reduced the demands and time of on-site crane use, and our site team\u2019s worker-hours by over 30%, but it also significantly reduced the carbon emissions traditional methods would have required to transport. \u202fWhen reflecting on this innovative approach to making construction more efficient, it\u2019s clear that the use of responsive digital design is a must for projects of this scale going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new kit-of-parts approach is being used for a new Manchester Airport pier,
