The BAM Nuttall and LCI project will implement a value-driven approach to procurement, which will replace the current cost/price-driven, low margin and low-investment transactional procurement model.

Their approach will establish clear goals and prioritize benefit creation for clients, investors and companies at every level and in every element of the value stream.

The project will reduce teaching time and improve memory retention for behavioural induction training onto highway construction sites using augmented reality in a blended learning solution. Content will cover topics including: access and egress, exclusion zones, people plant, scaffolding.

This will be delivered using classroom environments, tablet computers and affordable virtual reality headsets. Products include 3D content, serious games and interactive quizzes. It will be presented in multiple languages most spoken on site.

The project will pilot at the BMV M5 Oldbury viaduct site in Birmingham as a working example and then expanding to the M62 and M27 smart motorway projects with plans for further scaling post-project.

After the project, BAM Nuttall will have shown how augmented reality can be delivered through networked tablet devices to improve how site inductions are delivered through learning approach, reductions in time and increased engagement from learners. They will have developed a product that can deliver this which will be available for industry to use.

This project will increase awareness and understanding amongst small employers of the importance of organisational resilience; develop the skills and capacity to implement it with five employers and develop an approach, which enables the effective implementation of organisational resilience across the sector, which can be sustained beyond the life of this project. 

The project will develop learning materials and toolkits to BS6500 standards, and pilot these in the sector.

After the project, the gap analysis tool will be freely available for organisatiuons to map their resilience and identify training tools to address the gaps.  The project will have piloted organisations adopting the 'BeResilient' franework and will share its learning on best practice in doing so.

The project will increase the awareness of mental health within the construction sector by training 288 Mental Health first Aid practioners (instructors) who in turn will train 2 day mental health First Aiders within the sector.

The project will establish a strong framweork of instructors and mental health first aiders that will help tackle this increasing issue within the construction sector. In additon the programme will see attitudes to first aid improve and the stigma reduce and wokrers being able to discuss their mental health.

The project will address challenges of sufficiently simulating or recreating the tunneling environment for workers, to develop the behaviours and competencies required to work in such environments. It will do this by developing a range of immersive modules and assets.

Modules and resources will give stakeholders a realistic, consistent and safe environment replicating tunneling sites and machinery. They will be embedded across a broad range of qualifications and courses associated with tunneling, delivered to over 1,200 beneficiaries and made freely available to the sector.

After the project, a range of immersive learning teaching resources will be availablle such as 360 degree film, digital models.  Those in tunnelling roles will have received impactful VR learning experiences and resources will be adopted by the tunnelling sector to embed into existing training and qualifications.
