Business Problem
The management and control of piling works relies heavily on paper-based documentation used and completed on site. This, coupled with regular changes in design during construction, inevitably leads to errors. This can result in non-conformance with the specification and costly remedial work.
Business Solution
The creation of a bespoke, flexible wireless network utilising Cisco Aironet products for use on the construction site. Tablets utilising bespoke software access a central database on site via the wireless network. This allows operatives to directly access the data they require. This improves process control, reduces errors caused by inconsistent or missing information and provides better information for contract management.
