The PODFather, founded in 2000, recently expanded its cloud-based data-capture system to work with Crossrail, Europe's largest construction project.
The £14.8 billion scheme to build 13-mile twin-bore stretches of east-west railway tunnel deep below central London is due for completion in 2018. The initial phase requires the drilling of 30 deep shafts on constricted sites across the UK capital, and the close monitoring of movements of construction traffic and of carbon emissions on the sites. The PODFather's system sees this information being passed from hand-held computers on site to a central reporting database.
