    CameraMatics asset tracking: risk, theft and utilisation insights for fleets

    CameraMatics asset tracking: risk, theft and utilisation insights for fleets

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    CameraMatics has added battery-powered asset trackers to its fleet intelligence platform, allowing contractors to monitor plant, pallets, trailers and containers alongside vehicles on a single map with seven-day movement history. The compact, waterproof devices use two lithium AA cells for up to seven years’ life, switch to sleep mode when stationary, and can enter a theft “recovery mode” for real-time tracking, with impact detection via configurable G‑force thresholds. Assets can be grouped, linked to vehicles or geofenced, triggering automated alerts for unauthorised movement or device health faults across fleets of thousands.

    Technical Brief

    • Impact detection uses configurable G‑force thresholds to flag potential damage or unsafe handling events.
    • Device housing is compact, waterproof, and rated to withstand impact, fine dust and brief submersion.
    • Two lithium AA cells power each unit, with low and critical battery alerts surfaced in the dashboard.
    • Device health monitoring raises automatic alerts if a tracker stops transmitting or reports a fault condition.
    • No wiring is required, so units can be rapidly deployed on hired plant without modifying OEM electrics.

    Our Take

    Within our Infrastructure coverage, lithium-linked items are far fewer than traditional road or rail stories, so CameraMatics operating out of the United Kingdom with a lithium tag suggests its asset tracking may be targeting EV fleets, battery logistics, or other battery supply-chain assets rather than generic plant alone.

    National Grid TBM under the Thames: tunnelling design and risk notes for engineers

    A 271.5‑tonne Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM, Caroline, has started driving a 2.2km electricity cable tunnel with a 4m internal diameter beneath the River Thames in Essex for National Grid’s Grain to Tilbury project, delivered by the Ferrovial BEMO joint venture. The drive will pass through variable Thames estuary ground conditions between 35m‑deep launch and reception shafts of 15m and 12m diameter, with tunnelling continuing into 2026 and overall scheme completion targeted for 2029. The new tunnel will replace the 1969 Thames Cable Tunnel and carry new high‑voltage circuits between Grain and Tilbury substations.

    Panama Canal Mixshield undercrossing: design and tunnelling lessons for engineers

    A 13.46m diameter Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM has broken through into the future Balboa station on Panama Metro Line 3 after completing the first-ever TBM undercrossing of the Panama Canal at depths exceeding 60m below sea level. The 5,600kW, 26,616kNm machine, fitted with an accessible cutterhead and more than 4,500 sensors linked via the Herrenknecht.Connected platform, has achieved peak advance of 150 segment rings (about 300m) per month through mixed sandstone, tuff, breccias and basalt. Around 1.5km of the 4.5km twin-track tunnel remains to final breakthrough.

    Hudson Tunnel funding deadline: schedule and risk takeaways for project teams

    Federal funding for New York’s US$16bn Hudson Tunnel Project has been frozen, forcing the Gateway Development Commission to suspend works from 6 February after spending over US$1bn and employing about 1,000 site workers. A Manhattan federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order, giving the administration until 5 p.m. on 12 February to restore reimbursements or appeal, while contractors warn that demobilisation, resequencing and remobilisation will add cost and delay. Sites are now in “safe-pause” mode, with dewatering, ground support and environmental monitoring maintained, and assembly of two Herrenknecht TBMs in New Jersey likely to slip beyond the planned spring 2026 launch without funding certainty.
