On this project, they have implemented a significant initiative by installing two cruciform cranes within just two days. These cranes are designed to sit on engineered concrete bases, meaning no piling works are required. This approach eliminates the need for piling, significantly reducing noise, vibration, and disruption to the surrounding community. The cranes can be installed in a far quicker…
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…
Through this VR programme, this contractor is proud to have enhanced accessibility and inclusivity for a broad range of individuals, from those living with dementia, deaf or hard of hearing individuals, and children living in poverty. By bringing the rich history of the Tyne Bridge to those who might not have been able to experience it otherwise, they are not…
This contractor is using Tractivity, which is a UK-based stakeholder relationship management system that comes with a complete range of database management and engagement tools. All information is stored in a secure environment, where the contractor can easily track, communicate, measure and report all stakeholder engagement. The system can be tailored to specific demands and unifies our engagement tools, meaning…
In several locations, the newly constructed flood wall ties in to Penwortham Old Bridge, a Grade II listed structure and scheduled monument. This contractor decided to bring in the skills of a concrete artist to create a surface for the flood wall that replicates the aged sandstone of the 266-year-old crossing. Although it wasn’t a requirement that the new wall…
The purpose of this Site Visitor Induction Template is to ensure that all visitors are informed of the key health and safety risks associated with the site and the control measures in place to protect them, regardless of the length or frequency of their visit. Using a structured visitor induction helps to demonstrate a consistent approach to managing visitor safety,…
The project is in a high-crime area, posing challenges for the local community. As a major construction site, it attracted criminal attention and became a target for theft, impacting subcontractors, especially SME’s. In response, the team partnered with Sunbelt Rentals and the Met Police to trial a solution. A total station was fitted with two GPS trackers, one visible and…
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…
This contractor has partnered with social enterprise Prima Materia to turn phased demolition into a circular design programme. During works high-quality timber, metal, stone and glass are salvaged that would otherwise be downcycled or landfilled. Prima Materia’s ex-RCA designers reimagine these materials into a collection of circular furniture for London Design Festival 2025. This reframes demolition from a waste-handling task…
On this project they are working directly with the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) to deliver a new state of the art Children’s Cancer Centre. The contractor and the hospital team collaborated with the GOSH Young Peoples Forum and Patients on the wards to allow the children to design the personal protective equipment of our traffic marshals. The objective of…
The West Alliance, working closely with its supply partners, developed an innovative solution to keep Huddersfield station and its platforms fully operational during the historic ‘Euston Roof’ refurbishment. To achieve this, temporary horizontal cassette platforms, which are modular sections designed to enhance accessibility and operational flexibility during construction were prefabricated and rolled into place across the full width of the…
This contractors introduced a purpose-built jet wash attachment designed specifically to clean the underside of vehicles. It enables thorough cleaning before services and MOT’s, as well as for general maintenance. The attachment is easy to install and operate, making it suitable for use across fleet depots, service centers, and construction sites. Traditional vehicle cleaning methods often neglect the undercarriage, leading…
This contractor replaced traditional caution tape methods with EMS (Electronic Marker System) marker balls to enhance the identification and traceability of underground services. Each marker ball is filled with a liquid that emits a signal containing key information, such as depth, service type, and surrounding conditions, which can be detected by a CAT (Cable Avoidance Tool) user. This system is…
A new method of piling was used on this project to enable the piling with extraction to be carried out in very close vicinity to homes and businesses. This method stops any over drilling needed, any escaping air which could cause localised damage, dust and flying debris. Previous methods used were causing too much noise and vibrations causing damage to…
