The project team, using as built information and record photos of the installation, were able to identify the original method for installation, which while this could not be recreated allowed them to develop a concept to remove the glazing from within the building, using a variety of hoisting methods. They finalised a bespoke recovery method, which successfully allowed them to…
Streetwise’s video-based traffic survey technology is revolutionising traffic management on this project, by replacing manual counts with camera-based junction and link monitoring, that deliver precise, verifiable data that drives smarter decisions. Dynamic diagrams and visual outputs make complex traffic patterns instantly clear, while quality controlled footage ensures transparency and compliance. On this project they have clocked 1 million cyclists in…
This contractor has deployed AI-powered edge computing cameras across the entire 80km worksite to monitor access points where public rights of way intersect with construction zones. Traditionally, these locations required 24/7 manned security, with two personnel per site due to lone working restrictions. The new system uses AI models to process live video feeds and detect anomalies such as unauthorised…
This contractor has used the latest incursion technology, the Intellicone, to ensure workforce safety, while ensuring minimal disruption to a local ambulance station. The Ambulance service were appreciative of this initiative and commented: “Overnight access went smoothly yet again and appreciated the swift removal of the traffic management ahead of advertised time. Very minimal delay to the Ambulance Service.” The…
The team have devised an automated safety initiative whereby pedestrians are safeguarded from oncoming vehicles using the sites one-way system. Upon entering the one-way system, a motion detection device identifies a vehicle and automatically locks the pedestrian access/egress gates. Upon doing so, the vehicle barrier is lifted and the system uses a secondary device to record that the vehicle has…
This contractor implemented retractable traffic cone bars, these are very simple to use and easy to deploy requiring little to no storage space. This is an advancement on alternatives solutions such as hazard tape, and is lightweight allowing a single worker to easily carry enough poles for multiple metres of barrier. The bars are made of a durable material allowing…
Most of the public footpaths across this project had to be closed to facilitate the works. The most popular route across the scheme is a footpath frequently used by dog walkers and ramblers. The contractor discussed how they could possibly maintain access on this route safely with the local ramblers association, the safety team and traffic management contractor with the…
Following a series of five break-ins on this project which resulted in significant financial loss and project disruption, the contractor implemented the SelectaDNA kit to deter thefts and protect their assets. The forensic marking system applies a unique DNA code to tools, equipment, and materials, making stolen items traceable back to the site. They also installed highly visible SelectaDNA signage…
This contractor has invested in new plant – the new Bomag BW 174’s complete with Asphalt Manager and their latest safety feature, the Bomag Emergency Brake Assist system. The proactive system reliably identifies potentially hazardous situations at an early stage, even in poor visibility conditions. If an obstacle is detected in the roller’s path, it slows down automatically, halting if…
This contactor has implemented the Hepacart mobile containment cart on their project. This has enabled them to work in a live area above ceilings to carry out essential works and maintenance ensuring a safe, clean and dust free environment. This was vital on the project at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital with this being a high risk environment meaning dust prevention…
This system combines multiple safety technologies into a single, hardwired solution, ensuring continuous and reliable monitoring of a high-risk area on the site. Unlike traditional exclusion zone methods such as static signage, physical barriers, or standalone alarms this system integrates AI-powered pedestrian detection, realtime alerts, and live video monitoring to provide a proactive and intelligent safety solution. This includes: AI…
This new lift installation process enables installation of the permanent passenger lifts even before the lift shaft reaches full height. The Kone jump lift solution involves the installation of a bespoke ‘crash deck/lifting beam frame’ within a partially completed lift shaft to enable the installation and use of the permanent works passenger lift whilst the remainder of the lift shaft…
This contractor is incorporating AI into the CCTV cameras that are installed around the project car park. This will monitor all traffic, and any vehicles found to be exceeding the speed limit or driving the wrong direction will be identified by their registration plate and issued with a behavioral notice. The use of new technology to automatically identify rule breakers…
As a CLOCS Champion and provider of construction logistics, this contractor is committed to their role in promoting the safest construction vehicle journeys. One of the key roles of the Site Access Traffic Marshal (SATM) is to conduct construction vehicle safety checks for vehicles coming to site. The contractor, working in collaboration with CLOCS, have created a short video that…
Risks to operative’s safety should be carefully monitored and minimised as much as possible. Due to the nature of construction work, a number of hazards are presented to operatives on a daily basis. It is the responsibility of site managers and operatives alike to identify and minimise these potential risks to safeguard everyone working on site. Below is an example…
