    MEPS, Technical Manager

    I passionately believe there is safer and more economical way to construct new assets in the water industry to deliver on regulatory efficiency targets. By combining the emerging use of BIM technologies for digital asset creation with offsite engineered solutions (DfMA) we will start to realise the benefits. However, a different procurement approach is needed with early supply chain engagement to unlock DfMA opportunity and move to a philosophy of Site Assembly not Site Construction. meps has full in house Design Build capabilities and has demonstrable proofs of how factory thinking can de-risk project delivery and drive added value.
