The challenge
Use technology to automate environmental monitoring and
work efficiently with multiple subcontractors.
CPB Contractors manages the early works in an infrastructure project that involves moving all utilities. This significant undertaking involves relocating electricity, gas, water, telecommunications, and sewers across a broad area. All work is done in accordance with the Environmental Protection Requirements (EPR), and a key part of the project's success depends on keeping clients, communities and stakeholders informed.
As the managing contractor, CPB deals with 7 to 10 subcontractors at once. Thus, the environmental team needed to find a way to manage all subcontractors easily and ensure everyone was meeting the EPR. With increasingly stringent oversight and penalties from the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), the team also needed to ensure they were managing any water quality issues and had the data to prove it.
Brian Pinkman, Sustainability Manager, explained, “The Enviro team can’t be on-site 24/7, so we needed a solution that would automate monitoring and give us the tools to manage things and understand what’s happening across all site activity.”
