Digital Construction Management

Digital Construction Management improves solar asset quality during construction, powered by different data types, both cloud-based and mobile.

While aerial construction monitoring provides your team with bird’s eye insights, your team enriches, tracks, and controls the quality of construction from the ground using Above’s SolarGain Mobile app. Our technology streamlines construction tasks, allowing your team to work more efficiently and effectively.

Improving asset quality, powered by data

SolarGain delivers forensic inspection data in digestible form, providing deep insights into the health of your solar plant. By identifying, assessing, and addressing potential performance issues using thermographic data, SolarGain significantly speeds up root cause diagnosis, prioritisation and efficient human intervention.

FAQs

  • Digital Construction Management (DCM) is a data-driven approach that uses advanced digital tools including aerial monitoring, cloud platforms, and mobile apps to manage, track and optimise construction quality and progress throughout a project lifecycle. 

  • Above’s DCM solution combines aerial insights with ground-level quality data to help teams spot deviations from design, resolve issues earlier, and maintain higher construction quality. This leads to fewer rework cycles and stronger asset performance. 

  • Above uses a mix of:

    • Aerial monitoring (e.g., drone imagery)

    • Cloud-accessible dashboards

    • Field-captured data via SolarGain Mobile
      to give a holistic view of progress and quality

  • DCM includes the SolarGain Mobile app, which lets field teams:

    • Track and control quality from ground level

    • Raise and resolve onsite tasks

    • Connect fieldwork with office supervision in real time

  • DCM reduces site visits by providing stakeholders with remote visibility into construction progress and quality through aerial and mobile data captured in the SolarGain platform. The SolarGain mobile app enables real-time access to site updates, documentation, and quality checks, significantly reducing the need for frequent physical inspections while still maintaining oversight and accountability.

  • Yes. With centralised project data and real-time dashboards, DCM makes it easier to:

    • Track progress against plan

    • Document deviations

    • Export evidence-based reports for stakeholders

  • Above’s DCM builds a rich digital plant record including commissioning test results and matched serial numbers that supports seamless transition from construction into operational life. 

  • A digital plant record helps with:

    • Technical due diligence

    • Asset handover documentation

    • Long-term asset management

    • Enhanced transparency for investors and owners

  • Yes, the platform is designed to link field capture, aerial insights, and office-based workflows, even when working with third parties, improving coordination across teams. 

  • DCM supports:

    • Project managers tracking progress

    • QA/QC teams ensuring build quality

    • Owners and stakeholders needing verified real-time reporting

    • Third-party supervisors coordinating across teams
