Highly Commended: Podfather's eTicketing for Earthworks – Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Podfather, a proof-of-delivery system for earthworks, took a concept from another industry and applied it to a construction process, immediately bringing multiple benefits. The eTicketing system for earthworks automates the production and management of waste conveyance notes and associated paperwork. The judges were impressed with the potential this initiative has to be quickly rolled out to other construction management processes.
