Piling data is passed between many people on site such as work gangs, foreman, suppliers, engineers and the client. Up-to-date information is essential to ensure conformance to the specification. Accurate site records are required to prove this conformance and to aid the efficient management of piling works. 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. Tablets utilising bespoke software access a central database on site via the wireless network. This allows operatives to directly access the data they require.
