The project team have developed a grouting station which practically eliminates manual handling associated with grouting works. The station comprises of a hydraulic pallet lifter, a roller table, electric grout mixer, water cube and bowser and electric grout pump. Pallets of grout are loaded on to the pallet lifter which ensures the top bag on the pallet is at the…
This contractor has introduced a wireless fork-mounted camera and laser level system to support their forklift drivers, especially during high lifting where visibility is limited. The camera unit is magnetic and easily removable, with only a short cable running from the camera to the receiver and positioned safely away from any crush points. Both the camera and receiver are battery…
On this project, a replacement launch nose that was 16 metres longer than the original was required due to modification for the redesigned bridge. The original launch nose did not enter the exclusion zone for the 133kV overhead cables. However, the new launch nose would pass straight beneath the overhead cable exclusion zone. They originally planned to use a large…
This contractor has implemented a digital torque wrench which delivers up to 50% faster installation by replacing the hand tool. This provides 16.9 – 203.4 Nm of torque range and accuracy within 2% for torque critical fasteners. This tool gives faster, more productive torque reporting with ‘ONE-KEY’ providing torque data and customisable reports for inspectors or owners. The benefits of…
On this project they are using the CoverMe Hole Cover, an industry-first adaptable multi use solution that is transforming how the industry protects voids on construction sites. For years, plywood has been the go-to method for covering floor penetrations. But it comes with problems: cutting holes for services weakens its integrity, it’s hard to maintain, and it often ends up…
This is a leadership training day to reinforce the focus on safety and equip the workforce with a set of communication tools to provide confidence to challenge unsafe behaviour and accept challenge graciously. TRU partnered with ATT to deliver the ground-breaking initiative designed to redefine safety leadership within the rail sector. There are 3 interconnected parts: A multimedia immersive theatre…
This contractor has installed the Bold Smart Lock on doors leading to rooms that are in a finished state. The system involves an App that can be downloaded onto a Smartphone that opens the door meaning no keys are required and no visible lock on the door. This system keeps rooms clean and secure, preventing damage, unauthorised entry to isolated…
This contractor is using Schindler R.I.S.E, which is a self-climbing robot designed to navigate elevator shafts independently while installing components with precision and speed. Equipped with tools to drill holes and install anchor bolts, Schindler R.I.S.E significantly reduces human involvement in this part of the construction process, removing workers from the noisy, repetitive, and dusty tasks of drilling and setting…
This contractor was collecting data on the air quality regarding their welding activities, Through this process they noticed this needed to be improved so procured a portable welding fume filter. Air quality issues on construction sites should be addressed quickly and collective control measures to protect the workforce are crucial. Noting the welding activities were causing them the most issues,…
The project team have engaged specialist remote controlled logistics moving equipment skates in order to distribute equipment around the project at pace. These remote controlled skates are able to navigate tight spaces and mitigate the need for human contact with moving loads. In doing so this technology has saved countless man hours ensuring a safe and efficient means of material…
The R-Link smart watch is a new generation of workplace wearable technology which is designed to help workers monitor the risk of exposure to vibration. This informs the wearer of their exposure levels by calculating and displaying their HAV risk assessment exposure points in real-time. Sound and vibration alerts inform the wearer if their personalised exposure thresholds have been exceeded….
On this project, the steel fixers are using an extension piece on their impact wrench which reduces the need to bend down to fix the base plates of the steel. This method helps with worker fatigue and significantly reduced the strain on the operatives knees and back. This product has been positively received by the workforce.
This contractor has implemented fire rated temporary edge protection called ‘Drakon’ which is independently tested and certified for 120 minutes, ensuring protection for their workers and the building during construction. The system was tested for up to 190-minutes and up to 1100 degrees, exceeding certification standards. The Drakon has been bi-directionally tested and is intended for use covering construction voids…
A 1.2 metre high coupler head removal tool was brought to site and used by the operatives. This was well-received by the operatives and even proved marginally faster than the previous method. This product can be further developed by the contractor and used across the business for improvements in health and safety performance. This tool allows the operatives to remove…
This contractor has implemented a recycled alternative for rebar protection. With a cradle-to-cradle feature, these are designed to be sustainable and environmentally friendly from the ground up. Made with materials that are not only durable and reliable, but also recyclable and reusable. This means that once the product has served its purpose, it can be recycled and used again to…
