Case Study: MACE improves construction accuracy and reduces rework with Woolpert's geospatial management services

MACE reduces on-site errors by 10-12% with Woolpert

The customer, MACE Construct, faced challenges coordinating a fast-paced, multi-contractor redevelopment of Manchester Airport's Terminal 2 and a new pier. Working in a live, congested environment, they needed to minimize on-site errors, improve installation accuracy, and reduce costly claims and disputes. To address this, they selected Woolpert, through its company Murphy Geospatial, to provide comprehensive geospatial management services.

Woolpert implemented a solution involving high-definition laser scanning, BIM comparisons, and a continuous construction validation program. This created a single digital source of truth, allowing issues to be identified and resolved virtually before they impacted the physical site. Woolpert's work resulted in a 10-12% reduction in on-site errors, an 18-20% reduction in the cost of claims and disputes, and an improvement in installation accuracy from 60% to over 90%.
