A new MILWAUKEE® study finds the construction sector remains reliant on petrol-powered tools and equipment, despite worker calls to move to battery-powered alternatives. Almost all European construction workers say they’d feel safer working on-site if their employer replaced petrol-powered equipment with battery-powered alternatives. A new report, commissioned by industry-leading manufacturer of power tools, equipment, accessories and hand tools, MILWAUKEE®, has uncovered the persistent and widespread use of petrol-powered tools and equipment across European construction sites. This is despite the well-known operational and health risks these products carry, and the knowledge that safer alternatives are available on the mainstream market. The whitepaper, Building a Safer Future, draws on the findings of a Europewide survey of 3,200 construction professionals across 14 countries. It specifically asked them about their attitudes to working with petrol-powered equipment, conclusively revealing that most respondents want to see an end to fossil fuel use for on-site activities. Putting European construction in petrol-powered peril The level of constant exposure to petrol-related emissions was shocking. Almost two-thirds (60%) of respondents highlighted they were exposed to petrol-powered equipment and machinery for the majority of the working week, with more than a quarter (27%) for the whole of it. No wonder a similar number also flagged pollution as one of the most significant dangers to their health and wellbeing when working on site. With the long-term health risks well documented, from heart disease to various forms of cancer, the persistent use of petrol on sites is contributing to shorter life expectancies amongst construction professionals. It’s also an issue that concerns the majority of those surveyed (65%). However, more disturbing was the finding that the remaining (35%) appeared less concerned about the short and long-term impact of regularly inhaling toxic emissions. This worrying stat shows a distinct lack of awareness or ignorance of the considerable hazard posed by petrol-powered equipment and machinery, and that more education is needed around why this fuel type needs to be phased out as soon as possible. Workers want to make the switch There are mainstream alternatives, particularly high-performance, battery-powered equipment and the appetite for this solution is healthy. Almost all respondents (92%) felt they would feel safer if their employer switched to battery-powered tools, equipment and machinery. Around half (45%) also indicated that doing so would make them feel more secure on site, in conjunction with better tools and equipment (54%) and higher-quality, comfortable PPE (48%). Making the change This research serves to highlight that sticking with the petrol-prolific status quo is no longer acceptable and it’s up to construction employers to take the lead, protecting their workers by putting an end to the use of fossil fuels for powering tools and equipment. The good news is battery-powered alternatives are now prolific and the technology that underlies them has come on leaps and bounds in the past decade, particularly concerning run-time. MILWAUKEE understands many on-site workers are rightly concerned; however, it remains concerning that a significant minority appear indifferent or unphased about the serious health implications of constant exposure to petrol fumes. Upfront, it indicates site teams need to ensure that, if they are still relying on petrol, their workforce is adequately protected. However, it’s only a temporary measure as the safest approach is to swap this dangerous fuel source out for good.

SITECH® UK & Ireland have supplied Trimble® technology to specialist earthworks contractor RJT Excavations delivering huge cost savings on the Carlisle Southern Link Road (CSLR) project in Cumbria. With the help of SITECH, authorised dealer of Trimble® Civil Construction Field Systems, Scottish Borders-based RJT deployed a Trimble® Universal Total Station (UTS) high-precision positioning system for the first time. This innovative technology delivers millimetre-level machine guidance, reducing both the amount of surfacing materials used on the 8km stretch of road, and the time taken for surveys and rechecking. Gary Garner, Engineering Manager at RJT describes how the company came to use the UTS system: “Having worked on many civil engineering projects where accuracy is important, we are used to working with Trimble GPS and real-time kinetic corrections. For this project we knew that even greater accuracy would pay dividends. Having worked closely with SITECH for over 10 years we asked about UTS. They supplied the kit and gave us all the technical support we needed to set up the system and get the best out of it throughout the project.” The GPS used in standard machine guidance compares time signals from multiple satellites to fix a machine’s position to within a few centimetres. UTS relies instead on a ‘total station’ in a fixed position on the ground, which uses line of sight lasers which bounce off reflectors mounted on the equipment. Data from the station integrates with the Trimble Earthworks 3D machine control system to guide machines to within a couple of millimetres. Garner explains how the system is delivering significant savings on the project: “As long as the total station has line of sight it can stay in position for a whole day so just needs setting up once. This enables grading of the road surface to millimetre-level precision with no interruptions for manual stakeouts or rechecking. “This saves time and enables the project to proceed with fewer surveying personnel, thereby minimising the interaction between plant machinery and operatives. Reducing the manual aspect of the project also delivers health and safety benefits as operatives don’t need to work alongside the plant, significantly reducing the risk of injury on site. “It also allows for a perfect spread of tarmac first time. While the difference between a few centimetres and a few millimetres might not sound like much, the CSLR is 8km long so overall this method delivered significant cost savings when compared to conventional level control methods.” Liam Payne, Regional Sales Representative at SITECH, oversaw the supply of the equipment: “RJT hired the equipment first and placed an order to buy very shortly afterwards. This is testament to the overall value of UTS and we expect to see this technology become more commonplace on UK projects going forward.” The CSLR project is ongoing and scheduled for completion later this year.

Window and door sealant tape specialist ISO Chemie has invested further in supporting self-builders and retrofit designers with a new initiative at the National Selfbuild and Renovation Centre (NSBRC) in Swindon. The move will see a permanent static showroom established, enabling the company to showcase its thermal insulating and load bearing bracket support system WINFRAMER Type 1 and Hybratec multi-functional joint sealing tapes and the easy-to-use and energy efficiency saving benefits these systems provide. The NSBRC is the UK’s only permanent visitor centre designed specifically to meet the needs of individual self-builders, renovators and home improvers. Since opening our doors in January 2007, the hub has seen more than 250,000 self-builders, developers, renovators and home improvers visit the 67,000sq ft. educational resource, generating over 1.1 million leads for exhibitors such as ISO Chemie. A key feature of ISO Chemie’s investment will be to provide advice on effective fenestration installation techniques – displaying WINFRAMER will show how it allows windows to be installed in the insulation area, overcoming thermal bridges. A large amount of heat is lost from a building through the gap between the windows and the surrounding wall, as thermal imagery clearly shows. This gap is necessary to allow for the natural expansion of the window frame throughout the year, what isn’t necessary, however, is the loss of heat. Both doors and windows account for almost a quarter (21%) of the total air loss of the average house, and adding the joints between walls, floors and ceilings brings the figure up to 50%. Many argue that airflow is desirable, however Andy Swift explained that you can eliminate 50% of heat loss while still retaining some natural air flow. The statistics illustrate that in most residential properties, heat losses are overwhelmingly replaced by artificial heating rather than through solar energy or internal warmth. This means that reducing heat losses in the home is paramount in the battle to lower energy consumption. Visitors to ISO Chemie at NSBRC will be able to advance their understanding of airtightness and related issues, said Andy Swift, ISO Chemie’s UK sales and operations manager, enabling sector specifiers to improve the design and construction of buildings and boost their technical and product expertise. He added: “Unfortunately, thermal sealing around windows is not specified by law in the UK. That is why ISO-Chemie, whose gap-sealing tapes and solutions provide effective resistance against heat loss, is getting the word out there through support for initiatives like this showroom opening. “The message is clear, not only are the right products needed for the job, but also the right installation. Hence the need to go beyond simple marketing and into the realm of in branch education. “We decided to exhibit at the NSBRC because it is one of the best places for self-builders and renovators to get impartial advice and product information under one roof. It’s part of our strategy to educate self-builders and renovators about energy efficient improvement solutions in the UK – up to 70% cost savings can be achieved when using these tapes for high performance window sealing, rather than the current three component systems.” More at https://www.iso-chemie.eu/en-GB/home/ Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
