THE CHALLENGE

A high-rise office tower with no room past the sidewalk.

A national general contractor built a high-rise commercial office tower in a dense urban business district. The site took up a city block, so the jobsite ended at the street and its gates sat right along the sidewalk. Crews from dozens of trades, from concrete and mechanical to framing, drywall, and finishes, came and went through multiple gates plus a loading dock. On 117 days, more than 500 workers were on site, and headcount peaked at 733 workers from as many as 86 companies in a single day.

The contractor needed to:

  • Control access at multiple gates and a loading dock on a city-block site
  • Register every gate passage, without picking up crews working nearby or foot traffic outside
  • Get large trade crews onto the site quickly at shift start
  • Keep a live headcount across 180+ subcontractors
  • Report on-site hours by subcontractor
THE SOLUTION

Integrated Construction Intelligence

The contractor chose Sitemetric as one partner for access control and workforce visibility on the tower build. A turnstile at the main gate handled most daily entries and exits, and badge readers at the other gates and the loading dock fed the same live headcount. The contractor kept only certain gates open, so crews came through a consistent set of entry points.

  • Turnstile entry and exit at the main gate
  • Badge readers at the other gates and the loading dock
  • Sensor range tuned to the edge of a city-block site
  • Real-time headcounts by gate and subcontractor

THE RESULT

One live headcount for the whole tower site.

Over 275 active days, the project logged more than 515,000 on-site hours, with a live view of who had badged in at each gate.

MANY GATES, ONE RECORD

More than 430,000 entries across the site's gates fed one real-time record.

FAST ENTRY ON PEAK DAYS

On 117 days, more than 500 workers were on site, with a peak of 733. Trade crews badged in quickly at shift start, and the headcount updated as they came through.

WEEKEND WORK, SAME VISIBILITY

Trade crews worked 77 weekend days, and the gates reported into the same live headcount as on weekdays.
