Design Lab

Design it, then prove it

One workspace for the three kinds of proving this platform needs: a part bench for the hardware, a screen-flow designer that writes its own test suite, and an acceptance check that scores a spec against its bands.

Structural roadmap

10 structural testing projects across four phases, each tied to one of the building systems in the bench, plus the 7 systems still being researched before they earn a bench model of their own.

Q4 2026

Bench live · first rig booking

Freeze the limits, then take one system to a load frame.

  • Slab bending and deflection correlation

    Rig validation

    Reinforced slab

    Load-frame trial against the bench's bending utilisation and mid-span deflection limits at 7 m span, 250 mm thick.

    Load frame booked — week 4665%

  • Steel frame drift baseline

    Bench model

    Steel frame

    Sweep bay width and column depth to fix the storey-drift and base-shear bands before a shake-table slot is requested.

    Bands frozen for review55%

  • Retaining wall drainage sensitivity

    Bench model

    Retaining wall

    Sweep drainage effectiveness from 0 to 100% and confirm the overturning safety factor stays above 1.50.

    Sensitivity sweep complete40%

Q1 2027

Facade campaign

Water, air and thermal cycling on the curtain wall, then the frame.

  • Curtain-wall driving-rain run

    Planned

    Curtain-wall facade

    Chamber test at the bench's mullion depths and sealant grades, scored against the 100-point driving-rain floor.

    Chamber slot requested20%

  • Thermal cycling to 2,000 cycles

    Planned

    Curtain-wall facade

    Cycle panel and sealant combinations until first failure, then re-fit the bench's cycles-to-failure model to the data.

    Cycling rig specified15%

  • Steel frame shake-table validation

    Planned

    Steel frame

    Compare measured storey drift and base shear with the bench prediction across three bracing percentages.

    Table time in negotiation25%

Q2 2027

Cold climate and durability

Frost, chlorides and service life — the limits that age a system.

  • Frost and chloride life, retaining walls

    In research

    Retaining wall

    Freeze–thaw and chloride exposure on stem thicknesses from 200 to 600 mm to replace the bench's life estimate with measured years.

    Exposure panels cast30%

  • Slab service-life calibration

    In research

    Reinforced slab

    Check the 50-year service-life threshold against cover, thickness and reinforcement ratio, including the cold-climate cases.

    Literature review open35%

Q3–Q4 2027

Instrumentation and new systems

Measure life in service, and open the bench to new materials.

  • Sensor-instrumented frame monitoring

    In research

    Steel frame

    Embed strain and drift sensors in a demonstration bay so protection life becomes a measured trend, not an estimate.

    Sensor package scoping25%

  • Mass timber floor replacing the slab model

    In research

    Reinforced slab

    Add a CLT floor option beside the concrete slab, with its own deflection, vibration and fire-char limits.

    Parameter set drafted20%

Building systems under research

Each system is scored on how ready it is to become a bench model, and on the checks it must clear before it joins the four systems already in the bench.

  • Mass timber (CLT) floors

    Q1 2027

    A low-carbon floor that could replace the concrete slab in mid-rise work.

    45% ready

    Checks Span and deflection, vibration, fire char rate

  • Recycled-aggregate low-carbon concrete

    Q1 2027

    Cuts embodied carbon in slabs and wall stems without changing the design workflow.

    50% ready

    Checks Compressive strength, shrinkage, durability class

  • Prefabricated bathroom and plant pods

    Q2 2027

    Factory-completed units that remove site wet trades from the programme.

    30% ready

    Checks Lifting loads, service penetrations, acoustic separation

  • Phase-change thermal mass in facades

    Q3 2027

    Shifts peak solar load so the mullion and panel sizing can come down.

    35% ready

    Checks Enthalpy, cycling stability, fire reaction

  • Adaptive shading facades

    Q3 2027

    Reduces solar gain, which lowers the thermal-cycling demand on the facade.

    25% ready

    Checks Actuator life, wind-load coupling, control failure modes

  • Bacterial self-healing concrete

    Q4 2027

    Seals cracks where no one can reach them — retaining walls and basements.

    20% ready

    Checks Crack closure, chloride ingress, healing repeatability

  • Embedded structural health monitoring

    Q4 2027

    Turns the bench's service-life figure into something measured over time.

    60% ready

    Checks Sensor drift, calibration, data retention

Programme dates and progress are internal working estimates reviewed each phase. A project moving to “rig validation” means a physical trial is booked or underway — it is not a certified result, and no system here claims accreditation.
