This contractor is implementing long-term structural and geotechnical monitoring to enhance the value of the constructed piles. Fibre optics have been installed in piles and columns over a land and marine environment and soil sensors grouted in beneath the concrete basement slab and pile caps to measure ground bearing pressures. This use of the technology has not been used before…
On this project they have been using Disperse, which is an AI progress tracking system and 360 degree image recognition system capturing site images from a fixed location on a weekly basis. It enables automated progress tracking, detailed reporting, and long-term data retention to support post construction management. Disperse has transformed team collaboration on the project by breaking down information…
As the construction industry moves toward net zero targets, accurate carbon measurement is becoming a critical part of responsible project delivery. With growing alignment to the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard and lifecycle assessment frameworks like EN 15978 and the RICS V2, contractors and developers are increasingly expected to measure, report, and reduce carbon emissions across a building’s lifecycle….
Every month, subcontractors are assessed against the project’s sustainability and social value requirements, providing a total score and ranking. Subcontractors gain points by meeting project requirements. They can earn additional points by exceeding requirements, or through best practice and innovation. The results are shared with package managers who provide feedback to subcontractors on what went well and areas for improvement….
This solution automates the intricate workflow of tracking and reporting on precast façade panels, spanning from fabrication to installation. This streamlined process leverages the power of 3D data, specifically the BIM model, as its core element. Previously, limitations in software and file formats hindered the effective use of the 3D model in reporting. This led to inefficiencies in monitoring offsite…
Costain Skanska Joint Venture (CSJV) have an extremely detailed carbon model which is updated monthly to reflect fuel usage, electricity consumption and vehicle movement to and from site. However, where CSJV have gone over and above other site is our reporting of scope 3, i.e. embodied carbon and indirect transport. CSJV have expanded the carbon reporting model to include an…
This contractor conducted an assessment of the embodied carbon associated with the temporary works required for the construction of the project regarding substructure. This included product related and transport emissions, with construction emissions being excluded, as they are already accounted for in the permanent works carbon calculations. This ensured the contractor had a more carbon friendly approached to temporary works…
On this project, they have created and displayed a poster which details a contractor league table for carbon emissions. This is based on various information which is provided by workers at their induction. This initiative has been implemented to encourage car sharing and use of less polluting vehicles.
This contractor has implemented an in-house carbon reporting system. Two baseline forecasts (conforming and alternate design baseline) are calculated for the project, which provides insight into the expected variation in CO2 throughout the project. Via a simple but effective digital tool, the site record the quantities of each carbon emitting source used on the project. All data is evidence based…
On this project, the client had the vision to produce the worlds healthiest workplace and to do that they need to push the boundaries of what is acceptable further than ever before. The contractor challenged their supply chain to see how they can achieve this whilst maintaining all heath and safety building control standards. They have two products that have…
On this project they are displaying subcontractor monthly mileage and monthly carbon emissions. The site has developed and displayed a board on the external hoarding by the site entrance that identifies the sub-contractors on site, their monthly mileage and CO2 produced as well as whether they are registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme. This demonstrates to the workforce, visitors and…
This contractor developed, implemented and communicated ‘DIGGER’, a digital earthworks platform, integrating multiple sources of data into a unique platform. The analysis of the data provided (via designed dashboards) is given to the teams in order to improve machinery idle times (from 31% to 20%), reduce standing time, improve the cycle times and a significant reduction of the fuel consumptions,…
This contractor is utilising LineMetrics sensors to record and track trends in the environment and energy consumption of the buildings at Tonbridge School with the plan to utilise the historical data to make adjustments to improve the efficiency of current and future buildings there. Through the Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnership Scheme this site specific data is being interrogated by…
This contractor has created an embodied carbon model for the project at RIBA Stage 4, using OneClick LCA. The results show that the embodied emissions will be 727 kg CO2e/m2. As the project progresses, this model is being updated to reflect final quantities of materials procured, all environmental product declarations use on the project and final site emissions data. This…
This contractor has made an online net zero dairy which is available to all via their website. This is the first construction diary which honestly and openly advises about their detailed net zero journey and where the business and wider industry are on the journey. The diary aims to share best practice but also highlight areas where the industry needs…
