A leading general contractor broke ground on a major airport construction project, a complex, multi-phase build spanning 266 subcontracting companies and thousands of workers, all operating inside the credentialing and escort requirements of a live aviation facility.
Airport construction doesn't just add subcontractors, it adds a second layer of oversight most jobsites never see: SIDA access and escort requirements, and reporting built to hold up under FAA-level review, all running continuously, since an airport doesn't pause for construction. At peak, more than 900 workers were active in a single day, spread across hundreds of companies, all needing to be accounted for against that same standard of scrutiny.
The team needed to:
On a site where access control never stops, the project's workforce data couldn't either.
The contractor selected Sitemetric to bring the same rigor the aviation environment demanded to its own workforce data, combining connected hardware at every entry point, real-time data and reporting, and expert onsite staffing to manage access as workers arrived each day and night.
Every entry point captured attendance, credentials, employer information, and trade data as workers checked in, with alerts flagging unescorted or unauthorized access in security-sensitive zones. The result was a consistent, real-time account of who was on site, which company they worked for, and where they were cleared to be, across a campus operating around the clock.
With Sitemetric in place, the project replaced manual sign-in sheets and fragmented tracking with one connected system built for the access standards the site demanded. Across nearly 3 million hours of construction activity and counting, project leadership has access to workforce data that holds up to the same level of scrutiny as the site itself.
On an active aviation campus, unescorted or unauthorized access in a security-sensitive zone is not a minor exception, it's a real risk. With credential and employer data captured at every entry point across 5,320 unique workers, and alerts in place for unescorted access, the project team has a clean, accurate record of who accessed the site and when, built to support the credentialing standards a live aviation facility requires.
At peak, more than 900 workers were active on site in a single day across 266 subcontracting companies, on a facility that never fully closes. Project teams can see who is on site, which companies and trades are active, and how labor is distributed across every phase and work area, updated continuously, not just during standard site hours.
Automated manpower and labor hour reporting replaced manual data pulls with a live, ongoing record built for a project operating across multiple prime contracts and subject to review from agencies including the FAA. With 376,054 worker-days logged and nearly 3 million total hours captured to date, project leadership can produce accurate, consistent data at any point in the build, not just at a reporting deadline.
