Concrete Skip Washout Frame

Overview & Innovation:

The Concrete Skip Washout Frame allows column skips to be safely stored and washed off onsite without the need for manual adjustment. Column skips are lowered into the frame, where the operator can access the integrated platform to wash the skip off into a Kelly Tanks washout system that captures and recycles the wash water indefinitely. Recently upgraded to accommodate a 3000-litre skip, the system is robust, with a small footprint making it the ideal onsite solution. The frame can be separated into two parts for easy transportation. The Concrete Skip Washout Frame’s unique spring mechanism accommodates various size skips without intervention from the user, making it safer and easier to use than alternatives.

Moasure ONE

Overview & Innovation:

The Moasure ONE motion measurement device allows users to measure complex spaces and areas, whilst seamlessly integrating them with CAD software. Inertial sensors, accelerometers, and gyros capture X, Y, and Z coordinates when the device is moved from one place to another. Three-dimensional spaces can be reviewed on-screen, making it easy to calculate the gradient, rise, run, or height difference between any two points. Once measuring is complete, a detailed drawing of the shape, in 2D or 3D, can be previewed with a smartphone or tablet. Users can also measure multiple shapes relative to each other in one, single measurement, while Layers enables users to measure shapes within an area and produce a comprehensive on-screen diagram of all Layers positioned relative to each other. Motion-measuring technology takes measurements regardless of obstructions, such as rising ground, large bushes, or trees. It can also capture a 3D terrain map of the site, and instantly visualise it. Users simply switch from the 2D contour view to a 3D terrain map.

Ticket Accounting

Overview & Innovation:

Command Alkon UK’s Ticket Accounting includes a range of features designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of ticket management processes. Using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, it quickly digitises printed and handwritten tickets, and seamlessly integrates with accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.  This eliminates the need for manual data entry. Human verification can be used to resolve any gaps ensuring data reliability, time saving, and reducing the risk of errors. Ticket Accounting goes beyond just digitising tickets, enabling users to leverage the data across a variety of processes while facilitating faster vendor payments, and automatic invoice reconciliation for improved efficiency.  The system matches all tickets on the invoice to the actual tickets received at the plant, flagging any discrepancies for efficient payment processing. Accounts payable data can be exported to the accounting system, automating vendor payments, while users can generate material quantity and job cost reports.  This allows users to analyse quantities by timeframe and summarise by material or cost code. Additionally, real-time accrual reports offer valuable insights into financial data.

SKAKO Atlantis concrete mixer

Overview & Innovation:

The SKAKO Atlantis planetary concrete mixer is designed to optimise mixing, cleaning, discharging, energy consumption, and maintenance and safety in everyday use. Quicker and cleaner, with less manpower needed during operation than its predecessor (the SKAKO SM mixer), the Atlantis also requires 50% less cleaning time. It discharges 23% faster, and includes a self-lubricating gear in the oil sump. The Atlantis’ unique side opening service doors enable it to be accessed for maintenance without the fear of a confined space, unlike other traditional mixers which have access through the mixer top. This can help reduce operating and maintenance costs while facilitating the quick and easy replacement of wear parts. Covers on the mixer protect essential utilities, such as water and electrics, meaning that the supporting infrastructure around the mixer can be prolonged in an otherwise harsh, dusty environment. The Atlantis creates shifting pressure and vacuum zones, eliminating dead zones and speeding up the mixing process to produce homogeneous concrete. In turn, this facilitates cleaning, keeps the concrete from getting trapped, and prevents a new batch from being mixed with old concrete, speeding up the emptying and increasing productivity.

Graphene

Overview & Innovation:

Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice which was first isolated from graphite at The University of Manchester (UoM) in 2004. Over the past 20 years scientists at the UoM have found it is possible to use graphene’s unique properties across a range of products and applications. One of the emerging applications is concrete and construction materials. It has been proven that using graphene-based materials as an additive in both traditional and low carbon concrete systems can enhance mechanical properties such as compressive, tensile and flexural strength. The inclusion of graphene also brings secondary benefits such as reduced porosity and shrinkage, as well as a reduction in crack propagation. The Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC), located in the Masdar Building at UoM, has world-class facilities and resources supported by experienced and knowledgeable applications engineers and internationally renowned academics, working across a broad range of novel technologies. The company work directly with industrial partners to scale up technology for real world commercial applications.

Mixer Anti-Rollover Technology

Overview & Innovation:

Each year, in the UK alone, around 40 concrete mixers roll over on the public highway. These rollovers occur due to multiple reasons, but mainly the mixer going too fast – or the drum spinning too fast – as the vehicle changes direction. McPhee has lowered the water tank on the mixer reducing the COG by 4ft, and added life-saving mechanical anti-roll cages around the drum rollers, decreasing the risk of the mixer rolling over by more than three times. These measures attack the two biggest causes of mixer rollover and driver/public death in the industry.

AKK series construction mesh welding lines

Overview & Innovation:

This new design eliminates all idle times and at least doubles productivity in comparison to conventional welding lines. It’s also capable of producing large/small batch orders consecutively without any downtime. Its compact system layout requires minimum floor space and is equipped with the patented Automatic Wire Orientation System (AWOS), allowing the use of a high-speed straightening module for line wire feeding. The AWOS absorbs all wire straightening imperfections from the roller straightener, and the system ensures perfectly flat mesh panels regardless of wire and straightening quality. Single coil replaces all line wire de-coiling stations, where a double line and cross wire de-coiling station ensures continuous operation. As a result, minimal stock of wire spools/coils are required, and the necessity for large stock of ready mesh as in conventional welding lines is eliminated.

The Viking

Overview & Innovation:

Although launched four years ago, The Viking remains National Flooring Equipment’s largest range of ride-on scrapers, three times larger than any other scrapers in the range. At 2,586 kgs it’s designed to be used in outdoor spaces such as roadways, bridge decks, airport runways and parking structures. National Flooring Equipment began developing The Viking after being approached by the UK highways industry to help find a more efficient method to scrape bridge decks. They wanted a machine that could effectively remove material without straining the bridge and its joints.   

With a 49.5 HP Turbo Diesel engine, the three blade holders allow operators to use a combination of one, two or three tools that can be adjusted to any angle to easily remove tough, well-bonded materials.    

To help contractors mitigate inclement weather or poor daylight, The Viking features an enclosed cab with heating and air conditioning, headlights and windshield wipers for optimal visibility even during harsh weather.
