Siloed data is an efficiency-killer.  CalAmp sponsored research and this is what the report says. Yet 76% of construction fleets are still using separate tools to manage their vehicles and assets. The CalAmp team discovered this (along a few other interesting tidbits) after partnering with Construction Dive to survey over 150 executives in the construction fleet space. One of my biggest takeaways from the survey? It’s incredibly challenging for fleet data to be actionable when it’s living in disparate, unconnected platforms. There’s serious opportunity for construction fleets to boost efficiency by bringing their fleet and asset management under one roof. Don’t be afraid to lean on your solution partner to do the heavy lifting, so your team can focus their time and attention on analyzing meaningful and actionable insights for your fleet. A couple other data points from the survey I found notable: ·       Construction companies’ top challenges with fleet management: Maintenance issues (43%), inaccurate data (42%), and lack of visibility on utilization (38%) ·       Jobsite theft continues to be costly: 90% of companies surveyed had projects delayed due to theft. Over half are spending over $100k/year on theft prevention and recovery. I encourage you to check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gj9CGZ2g #construction #fleetdata #efficiency

Project Spotlight: Efficient Emergency Logistics Management We’re thrilled to share a first for our team... We obtained a county road improvement construction permit just TEN hours after submission, allowing us to tackle an emergency transformer transport across Iowa with precision and speed. Key highlights of the project: - Permit Acquisition: 10 hours to secure a crucial permit. - Route Planning: 480,000 lbs transformer transported 400 miles. - Coordination: Worked with 25 utility/telecom owners, 2 State Police Barracks, and navigated through multiple DOT projects. - Real-time GPS Tracking: Enabled seamless coordination with utility companies, minimizing downtime and ensuring real-time updates. This project underscores our innovative approach, detailed pre-planning, and exceptional team coordination. Proud of our team for delivering quality service, on time and within budget. #Logisticus #EmergencyResponse #ProjectManagement #EngineeringExcellence #Innovation

Sometimes projects don't go according to plan. So you have to make the necessary changes to progress the project. That's what happened on the MLK Jr. Memorial project. Here's how it looked: Stephen H. hired Anchor Construction to replace an existing subcontractor. But there was an understanding that our team would mobilize quickly and work on a much-accelerated schedule. And that's what we did. Here's what Stephen shared about our team after starting the project: "From the start, they met and exceeded our expectations, proving to be the best subcontractor that we have on the job site. They have been excellent to work with and fair and understanding." We know that projects don't always go according to plan. So it's important to have the right project partners when times get tough. Thanks for your trust in us on the project, Stephen! #utilities #anchorconstruction #construction

Taking a moment to acknowledge our team's dedication for their night work on recent jobs, well done. At PPS we take pride in exceeding expectations and taking ownership for our outcomes. This can occasionally mean night work for our crews. One of our clients that participates in the ERCOT market had an accelerated deadline due to early development delays outside of their control. For our client to thrive and recover the time lost in their pre-construction phase our team worked double shifts. Our loyalty contributed to the client being able to hold their original production start and economic targets. Our team is committed to cultivating partnerships that transcend conventional client relationships. We welcome challenging projects and are willing to quickly adapt to our clients rising needs. Our core value of ownership is more than just a phrase, it's something that we strive for in every job we do. Panhandle’s definition of our core value Ownership: You are in charge - You control the outcome - Own It.

We're kicking off our celebration of Infrastructure Week with Caltrans’ American River Bridge Rehabilitation Project in Sacramento! This essential artery was beginning to display signs of wear — the kind that comes from years of faithful service. Recognizing the importance of timely care, Caltrans mobilized a project team to rejuvenate this key connection. Beyond the immediate need for rehabilitation, this project embodies a forward-thinking approach to urban planning. The introduction of a multi-use bike/pedestrian path as part of the bridge's redesign aligns with Sacramento's 2016 Bicycle Master Plan, bridging the gap between downtown and eastern Sacramento. This path will provide safe, accessible connections to medical centers, employment opportunities, and activity hubs, promoting a healthier, more sustainable mode of transportation. At the heart of this project is our dedication to quality management. With Atlas' on-call Quality Assurance (QA), source inspection, materials engineering, and construction inspection services, we ensure that every aspect of this project meets the highest standards of excellence. #InfrastructureWeek #UnitedForInfrastructure #Connectivity #Mobility #QualityAssurance #QualityManagement #MaterialsEngineering #ConstructionInpsection #UrbanPlanning #SustainableFuture

A great example of a business adding constraints to increase performance. Their prioritizatiom method + “what gets started gets finshed” (WIP-thinking) sounds like a recipe for success! As a stakeholder of this system, I’m hopeful for “good change” from these process improvement decisions. #continuousimprovement #processimprovement #leanthinking #leansixsigma #leansixsigmablackbelt #leansixsigmagreenbelt #theoryofconstraints
