BESPOKE SOFTWARE & APPS: Far-reaching safety innovation
The safety of our people is a key priority. It is vital that any safety incidents and
issues are reported e• ciently and responded to quickly. Our Lone Worker App,
developed by the MUS SHEQ and Intelligent Solutions teams, provides crucial
safety measures for both operational and support staŠ working out of hours or in
isolation. The app uses GPS/GPRS location tracking technology to enable
supervisors, designated alarm respondents and our in-house Incident Line team
to pinpoint a lone worker's precise location following noti" cation of an
emergency situation.
SMART PLANT & FLEET SOLUTIONS: Fleet innovation for more
sustainable utility highway reinstatement
Roadmender is a purpose-built, self-sustaining mobile asphalt unit that is paving
the way for a smarter, more sustainable approach to utility highway
reinstatement. Its operational advantages include faster closure of works and
reduced disruption for the public and road users. Clients also bene" t from the
potential for reinstatement teams to undertake work at any time, including out of
hours and public holidays, without the need to consider asphalt plant locations
and opening times. Environmental bene" ts include reduced waste material and
signi" cantly reduced fuel usage and carbon emissions resulting from fewer
journeys to and from asphalt plants.
ADVANCED DATA & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Unmanned
technology that is elevating manpower capabilities
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
– drones – are already transforming
operational practices. From asset inspections and surveys to the monitoring
and assessment of both natural and man-made conditions, UAVs are
delivering new levels of accuracy and predictive capacity. Real-time
information can ensure that teams are equipped with the detailed technical
and topographical data and imagery, as well as live feedback, to make swift
and informed decisions. Fast, accurate and cost-eŠ ective, UAVs are now
being deployed on major capital projects for pre-planning and monitoring
progress and are enabling clients to design and commission surveys and
projects direct from their desktops.
