A scaffolded roof covering which is movable on rolling wheels, covering 60 metres of roofing at a time was used on this project to allow roof removal and restoration. This was made up of a lightweight scaffolding system with a waterproof covering pulled over the top. This system minimised risk of delays which may have been caused due to changing…

This contractor used FabBRICK which transforms recycled textiles into sustainable wall panels that combine design with performance. Each panel is made from shredded fabrics bonded with an eco-friendly, bio-sourced glue, resulting in a durable and unique material that has natural variations in colour and texture.

The project team incorporated the use of trolley seats on the project to provide a more ergonomic way of working whilst installing low level facade systems on the cantilevered scaffold on the East, South and West areas of the project. The scaffold deck has been boarded meaning the working surface is flat and level leading to the safe use of…

This project offered construction workers a Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) to support early detection of bowel health issues. The FIT test is a simple, non-invasive screening tool that checks stool samples for hidden blood, which can be an early indicator of bowel cancer or other conditions such as Polyps. By providing access to this test on-site, the initiative promotes early…

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.

The team have implemented a way of plunging the reinforcement for the bearing piles which significantly reduces the workload for the following trades and reduced waste steel being produced, along with making the works on site safer and quicker. Traditionally pile reinforcement would be installed into the pile with the top of the reinforcement finishing level with the piling platform….

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 implemented a breakaway hi-vis vest which has been introduced as mandatory for all machine operators. This item pulls apart if caught on a moving part such as the controls, a door or similar. This vest will help to prevent injuries and accidents caused by ‘caught’ clothing on machinery or moving parts and will help reduce injuries and accidents…
