Why Hines Chose Evercam for Project Management

Hines has successfully completed the TC1 Cherrywood project, part of the larger Cherrywood urban development in South Dublin's Strategic Development Zone (SDZ). The project involves the construction of 317 LEED-standard residential units, including a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. It also includes ground-floor retail spaces, private communal areas, and a rooftop terrace, covering a total area of 30,000 square meters.

Evercam’s Contribution to Sustainable Urban Design

Sustainability was central to the Cherrywood development, which was designed to meet both WELL and BREEAM standards. Hines chose to partner with Evercam to monitor progress and the implementation of energy-efficient buildings, and resource management, to minimize waste, rework and to ensure achievement of their sustainability goals.

The Importance of Construction Cameras in Cherrywood`s Project Management

Given the complexity of this project, maintaining real-time visibility and effective remote project management was a priority. Evercam’s construction cameras proved essential in providing real-time sitemonitoring and documentation and ensuring all project stakeholders were kept up-to-date. Managing the construction of a project of this scale presented several challenges. These included coordinating multiple contractors, ensuring adherence to sustainability standards, and maintaining project timelines. The Hines team felt that partnering with Evercam would provide their project with the necessary visibility into the site’s daily activities.

• Time-Lapse Pro: Each month, Evercam delivered professionally edited time-lapse videos of the Cherrywood project in 4K resolution. These videos provided a clear and engaging visual narrative of its progress. This was invaluable for documenting milestones and keeping project stakeholders informed. The time-lapse videosalso provided ready-to-use content for social media and marketing campaigns, making it easy to showcase the project’s progress.

• Live View: Evercam’s Live View feature supplied Hines and its stakeholders with real-time visibility into the site’s construction activities. This continuous transparency improved collaboration, informed decision-making, and enabled more efficient project management. With immediate access to live footage, the Hines team could promptly address issues and monitor progress. This ensured that the project adhered to the established timeline and budget.

Take a look below at the progress of the project from Apr 2021 Apr 2023 as captured by Evercam construction cameras

As Cherrywood now moves into its operational phase, the development serves as a model for future urban projects. It demonstrates how advanced construction management tools like Evercam can enhance efficiency. These tools ensure that builders complete large-scale developments on time and within scope.

Supporting Civil Infrastructure Delivery in Northumberland

As part of the wider Northumberland Line project, Morgan Sindall Infrastructure carried out construction works at the site of the new Newsham Station in Blyth. This civil infrastructure project plays a key role in re-establishing passenger rail services in the region, improving transport connectivity, and supporting local economic growth.To support visibility on-site, Evercam deployed live construction cameras, which provided live views of the construction site and continuous recording throughout the 14-month project duration, enabling Morgan Sindall Infrastructure’s team to maintain transparency and improve coordination.The Evercam platform was leveraged internally to support stakeholder updates, incident reviews, and document the project progress. A final construction time-lapse video was also produced to visually capture the construction journey.

Evercam is used to:

• Enable live visibility across the construction site
• Document work phases and construction milestones
• Support HSE and incident review where required
• Create a visual archive for post-project evaluation

Project Highlights

• Construction cameras installed for monitoring
• Evercam is used to improve transparency and coordination on-site
• Final time-lapse construction video produced for internal use
• Supports documentation of civil works as part of the Northumberland Line rail initiative

How Construction Cameras Improved Traffic Compliance at Eraring BESS Site

Origin Energy is buidliding a large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the Eraring Power Station in New South Wales, Australia. The first phase, with a capacity of 460MW and a two-hour dispatch duration, will be fully operational by the end of 2025. The BESS supports renewable energy by stabilising the National Energy Grid and using existing infrastructure to maximise efficiency.

Ensuring Traffic Compliance at Eraring BESS Construction Site

To comply with Development Approval conditions, the project needed to manage traffic, limiting daily truck movements to minimize the impact on the local community and environment. Peak construction traffic was capped at 128 light vehicles and 60 heavy vehicles per day.

Solution

Evercam Gate Monitoring System for Automated Traffic Compliance

Origin Energy implemented Evercam’s Gate Monitoring system with AI-powered construction cameras at the site entrance to accurately monitor and record all vehicle movements. The AI technology differentiates trucks from light vehicles and records the time of each truck movement. This detailed tracking allows for the daily reporting of total vehicle counts. As a result, precise data is ensured for compliance purposes.

This automated system supplemented manual checks by security guards and integrated with Evercam’s live construction cameras to provide comprehensive visibility across the site. It allowed efficient monitoring of areas like erosion and sediment control as well.

Improving Compliance and Operations with Evercam Gate Monitoring

Real-time traffic monitoring data enabled Origin to optimize traffic schedules, resulting in the avoidance of potential fines and mitigation of community disruptions. This optimization also streamlined environmental and compliance reporting while reducing the need for extensive security staffing.

Through the efficient allocation of resources and a reduction in onsite security requirements, Origin achieves significant cost savings. This approach allows for a more streamlined and cost-effective operation.

Benefits

• Increased Efficiency: AI construction cameras provide accurate vehicle tracking, surpassing manual methods.
• Community Impact Mitigation: Optimised traffic scheduling reduced disruptions and prevents council fines.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduced need for onsite security allows better resource allocation.
• Environmental Monitoring: Real-time feeds help manage erosion and sediment control.
• Improved Reporting: Automated records and time-lapse videos streamline internal reporting and compliance tracking.

Results

The Evercam system significantly reduced operational costs by decreasing the need for security personnel and helped manage environmental risks during adverse weather. This approach ensured compliance, minimized potential fines, and enhanced overall project efficiency.
