Solar and Hydrogen Powered Noise and Dust Monitors
The remote location of the noise and dust monitors on this project required a power source to be installed. Solar alone would not be sufficient to power them and a diesel generator used finite fossil fuels, therefore they combined a hydrogen cell with solar panels to provide enough power to run the monitors 24/7. The hydrogen used can be created...
Presentive – Immersive Tool Suite
Presentive has been used on this project to check alignment of the client point cloud model of the existing basement. Some assumptions were made relating to positions and section sizes of steel columns which have been encased in concrete. Wearing Hololens headsets on site in the basement using the Presentive software allowed a misalignment of digital geometry overlaid in the...
Use of Personal HAVS Monitoring Equipment
We have recently installed a new personal HAVS monitoring and alert system to our small tools at our K1 Knightsbridge site. While the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations were introduced in 2005, there are still an estimated 2 million people in the UK who are exposed to levels of vibration above the recommended limits. This puts them at risk...
Signol Application in the Construction Sector
Signol is a software and proactive communication service that uses behavioural science to motivate and influence key decision-makers in transport operations to consistently implement sustainable best practices. Signol can generate measurable changes in behaviour by framing feedback with behaviourally informed nudges and incentives. This software uses the latest behavioural science to motivate and influence decision-makers in transport operations, not only...
Fuel Tournament – Idling Time Reduction
This project is part of the Fuel Tournament that started in July 2021. This initiatives purpose is to reduce fuel consumption through reducing idling time. At this stage, the tournament includes drives of excavators above 8 Tonne. In the next stage machines below 8 Tonne and other machine types will be reviewed. To enable the tournament, a detailed fuel efficiency...
Removing a Pipe Bridge using Air Bags
As part of the scope of works on the Ferrybridge site there are 3 pipe bridges to remove, one of the bridges, know as Stocking lane bridge, has very restricted access. Traditional lifting methods using mobile cranes proved unachievable due to the restricted access, the team explored a variety of options including the option to jack up and float the...
Environmental Pocket Guide 
The Environmental Team published an Environmental Pocket Guide that is issued to all of the operational staff. Its purpose is to raise awareness of key environmental issues onsite, building on Keltbray’s internal onsite environmental awareness training course by providing an easily accessible and pocket-able point of reference that is relevant to all of the project’s operations. The pocket guide covers...
