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…
A small electronic system is fixed to each sign throughout this project. When a sign goes down or has tipped due to wind an alert with the location of the sign is sent via SMS to a response crew. The response crew is then able to respond within 20 minutes to address the issue, and a notification is then sent…
This contractor has implemented the use of the Human Vue detection system on their telehandler which utilises 360 degree vision cameras around the telehandler with proximity alerts set to detect human form within operating zones of the operating telehandler. On detection this sounds a proximity alert alarm to the pedestrian identified externally and also alerts the machine operator of human…
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 taken the approach to install green flood lights as an alternative to traditional white lights on site. This has the benefit of being much more wildlife friendly by reducing the impact on the night vision of animals. Green lights have a lower ambience which also reduces the impact on neighbours as well as bringing a reduction in…
As the scaffold on this project has resulted in the blocking of natural light into the canteen area of a neighbouring property, the team arranged for a semi translucent window film to be fitted which when backlit would simulate a warm sun glow into the area. This was well received and aided the wellbeing of the workforce in the neighbouring…
Works were being carried out for the removal of existing street lighting on the A34 and A555. To ensure there was adequate lighting for the travelling members of the public and the workforce carrying out night work activities, an alternative light source was required. After some research and a trial period the Light Balloon Module system was found to be…
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…
On this project all excavators are now fitted with bluetooth enabled dash cams. This means that an individual is able to connect to the dash cam whilst its installed and download all the relevant information, without it having to be removed from the excavator. With normal dash cams the SD card has to be removed from the machine and then…
We completed £1.1m of lighting improvement work on the M62 over a 19km length between J22 Saddleworth Moor and Kirklees Viaduct, west of Junction 25. We replaced over 1,000 high pressure sodium lanterns with new LED lighting units; this solution was devised by the contractor to suit the client specification. These require no routine maintenance, eliminating the need for cyclic…
The client had received several complaints over a sustained period of time regarding the flash at a camera site. Several things were tried including changing the location and angle of the flash but this did not work. The contractor therefore designed a new filter that remained effective to capture offences but reduced the flash effect for the local residents to…
This contractor considered the proximity of their neighbours through the selection of a self-erecting pedestrian tower crane. This crane keeps the operator grounded thereby eliminating the risk of them overlooking neighbours. Use of this crane also benefits site logistics and reduces the amount of standard telehandler work on site.
Vehicle movements are without a doubt a risk to the health and safety of the workforce on any construction site. Particularly with darker mornings and evenings during the winter months where visibility is significantly reduced. The FHoss system provides illuminated walkway systems and crossings to enable a safe passage for operatives and improved visibility for drivers. Focused beams of light…
