Construction

In the construction sector, reliable connectivity is essential for coordinating complex projects, managing resources, and ensuring seamless communication across multiple sites.

Government initiatives around BIM, zero carbon and ESG, are driving the need for digital transformation to ensure projects not only run on time and on budget but also minimise the impact to the environment and deliver benefit to local communities.

The Construction industry is embracing digital transformation, adopting solutions such as: 

  • Cloud-based or SaaS based applications 

  • 4D and 5D Planning 

  • Intelligent site security and biometric Access Control 

  • Automated environmental monitoring (dust, noise, vibration) 

  • Wearable technologies 

  • Connected and autonomous plant 

Discover how Onwave can help support your construction project:

Temporary and flexible networks

Construction companies are recognised for running projects that need to be mobilised and demobilised quickly, are often in remote or obscure locations, and which require service on a temporary or variable duration basis.

Onwave specialises in providing flexible, rapidly deployable network solutions that can be set up and dismantled with less than a weeks’ notice. This ensures that construction sites remain connected from the project mobilisation through to project completion. These networks need to support both Contractor and Supplier teams offering layers of security and supporting everything from conventional office Wi-Fi communications through to an assortment of technologies that needs to be connected on site (sensors, Cameras, Biometric Systems, Plant and Equipment, mobile users etc).

Robust wireless connectivity

Onwave delivers robust wireless connectivity solutions that are ideal for construction sites, where traditional wired connections may not be feasible. Utilising advanced 4G/5G, Starlink satellite, and hybrid networking technologies, Onwave ensures that all areas of a construction site have reliable internet access, facilitating real-time communication, data transfer, and access to project management tools and the latest construction technology.

IoT intergration

The construction sector is increasingly adopting Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enhance efficiency and safety. Onwave supports this integration by providing connectivity solutions that can handle the data traffic from various IoT devices, such as sensors, cameras, and machinery. This allows for real-time monitoring of site conditions, equipment performance, and workforce safety, contributing to smarter and safer construction practices.

How we help Enhance operational efficiency for construction

Project management

Effective project management relies on seamless communication and data access. Onwave’s connectivity solutions ensure that project managers and teams can access real-time information, share updates, and collaborate effortlessly, regardless of their location. This connectivity supports the use of advanced project management software, cloud-based collaboration tools, and mobile applications, leading to improved project coordination and timelines.

Resource management

Managing resources effectively is critical in construction. Onwave’s reliable connectivity enables real-time tracking of materials, equipment, and contractors, helping construction companies optimise resource allocation and reduce waste. By connecting site offices, storage areas, and remote and field workers, Onwave ensures that everyone has up-to-date information on resource availability and utilisation.

Safety and compliance

Safety is a top priority in construction. Onwave enhances safety by supporting the deployment of surveillance cameras, safety sensors, and communication devices across construction sites. These connected systems help monitor site conditions, detect potential hazards, and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Real-time video feeds and data alerts enable swift responses to incidents, minimising risks and enhancing overall site safety.

Comprehensive support and management

24/7 network monitoring

Onwave’s Network Operations Centre (NOC) provides 24/7 monitoring and management of construction site networks. This continuous oversight ensures that any issues are detected and resolved promptly, minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity. The NOC’s proactive approach helps prevent connectivity disruptions and ensures that construction sites operate smoothly.

Custom solutions and support

Recognising that each construction project is unique, Onwave offers customised connectivity solutions tailored to specific project needs. From initial planning and deployment to ongoing support and maintenance, Onwave works closely with construction companies to deliver solutions that align with their operational requirements and goals. Dedicated support teams are always available to address any connectivity issues and provide technical assistance.
