Keepmoat has adopted JCB’s digital fleet monitoring tool, LiveLink, to help cut carbon emissions across all 66 of its live construction sites.
The housebuilder aims to cut onsite operational emissions by half from 2022-32.
JCB LiveLink integrates GPS data, telematics and machine usage metrics to provide visibility of machinery across a site through a single dashboard. By tracking idle time, fuel consumption and machine movements, the system enables operational teams to reduce waste, optimise fleet performance and improve efficiency. This data-driven approach supports cost control and sustainability targets without adding complexity to daily operations, according to JCB.
John Bowden, sustainability director at Keepmoat, said: “We’re focused on driving sustainability and efficiency across every stage of the construction process – from design and material selection to onsite operations. By bringing all site data together on JCB LiveLink, we have a single, standardised platform to provide the visibility we need to identify inefficiencies, drive behavioural change and make informed decisions that directly support our carbon reduction goals.”
Jude Qureshi, general manager for JCB LiveLink, added: “JCB LiveLink delivers a powerful, cost-effective solution that empowers the construction industry to actively monitor and optimise fuel consumption – an essential foundation for any effective carbon reduction strategy. With detailed insights and actionable data, LiveLink enables construction professionals to make informed decisions that drive efficiency and sustainability across their operations.
“Some plant hire companies are challenged by utilising multiple reporting systems, which often leads to fragmented data and difficulties in achieving a unified perspective on equipment efficiency. Keepmoat investing in one solution for all their fleet is a true commitment to their carbon reduction goals.”
