This contractor is leading a two-year collaboration with Plinx and MachineMax to transform site operations through real-time monitoring, zoning, & behaviour-led feedback. The first phase is to install 100 retrofittable MachineSense sensors to track idling and plant utilisation, targeting a 7% carbon reduction and 10% utilisation improvement. The second phase introduces advanced safety features including operator alerts, site speed limits…
This contractor is using the Hilti HCS T1 Bluetooth-enabled sensor that monitors in-situ concrete temperature and maturity to determine real-time strength. Unlike similar solutions, this is compact, easy to install, and requires no hubs or complex setup. It provides instant digital data through the Hilti app, enabling faster, safer decision-making on-site while ensuring full traceability and ASTM-compliant accuracy. This makes…
AssetTagz is a web and mobile based stock and asset management system, designed to track and identify assets, stock and consumable materials using RFID tags (NFC touch tags or UHF long read-range tags) or barcodes. The data is stored in a central repository which will allow projects to manage and track plant, tools, PPE equipment and everyday consumables usage against…
Mace’s project are using an engaging and simple to use online energy monitoring system to better manage site energy and water consumption, and contribute to reducing carbon emissions. Sub-meters have been installed across the site to improve awareness of the site equipment and zones, such as tower cranes, lighting zones and office accommodation. The system has already enabled one project…
A materials passport has been set up using software called Madasta which creates a live model of the proposed building by extracting data from digital models and is then completed with the actual information. This is then taken forward by the client and building management team throughout the buildings life so that during repair, adaption and end of life all…
This contractor used the man-up key for use on site where service investigation required lifting of many chamber lids, many of which were well stuck due to having not being opened in years. Some had also been grouted shut or surfacing may have overlapped the lid. The patented slide-hammer action means a lift by the user effectively provides an ‘impact’…
This contractor has implemented the use of ShockWatch Labels to ensure all stones are handled carefully during delivery process. The use of ShockWatch Labels has reduced the quantity of returned pallets, reducing CO2 emission and minimising construction waste. ShockWatch impact labels are tamperproof, mechanically activated, impact detection devices that turn bright red to indicate mishandling. When used in conjunction with…
This contractor is using a thermocouple to assess concrete strength. The thermocouple is fixed by cable ties and then connected to the wireless transmitter. The contractor will then cast and pour the concrete and using the web portal view the results Using this method of concrete testing has benefits for the project which are: The requirement for manually making cubes…
Staff and relevant workforce have installed a thermal imagery camera app on their smartphones and tablets. The purpose for this is to see where or if there is any heat loss coming from the building, the building is being heated inside with a temporary blow heater at present which is more than adequate to produce enough heat to see where…
Mace have continued their work with Kings College London (KCL), attempting to tackle emissions and air quality issues within the UK. Having previously worked with KCL at the Television Centre site, Mace have progressed their work at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Development. Mace arranged for KCL to attend site and test Non Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) emissions to see whether…
