The Roadmap to 2030 discusses the wider implications of the change.It talks about disaggregated supply chains, and therefore how we might engage SMEs, or how we might lower the barrier to entry.

It talks about the strong link between digital and physical, in that, once you have these components, it unlocks configurators and the potential for a digital marketplace.TIP 2021 talks about factory-like conditions on site.. There’s been an increasing sophistication around people's understanding of modern methods of construction, in that MMC doesn't just mean offsite, and neither does platform construction (P-DfMA), We’re starting to talk much more about the real drivers.We want our assets delivered in a way that’s better, faster and greener.

The aim is for less material, fewer people, higher productivity, and automation and activity where it's best suited..The emphasis with The Roadmap to 2030 is very much on that process from concept and design, right through to the end of an asset’s life.

Replacing coal: a safe, reliable, sustainable path to clean energy.As decarbonising is the principal challenge we face, we need sources of clean energy.

Nuclear is a clean source of energy.Nuclear energy doesn’t create air pollution or release greenhouse gases.
