Polygon showcases their temporary environmental control services provided for the Alexan Gateway project in Kent, Washington, in collaboration with Absure Construction. The editorial overview provides a summary of the key points covered in the video.

Polygon’s role in the project is to deliver temporary environmental control solutions to three buildings at the site. They utilize a combination of desiccant dehumidification and gas-fired indirect heaters to create dry and heated air. The focus is on achieving the right air distribution with sufficient velocity and volume to create a positive pressure throughout the building.

The video takes viewers inside one of the buildings, highlighting the stacked desiccant dehumidifiers delivering 10,000 CFM of air. Flex ducts and ten mil polylay flat tubes are used for air circulation, ensuring durability and efficient drying. The strategically placed perforations in the distribution ducting allow dry air to flood the floor space, accelerating drying times for various materials such as joint compound, wood framing, and floor leveling products.

Polygon’s centrally located system and temporary ducting enable effective distribution of dry, heated air throughout the construction environment.

Video TranscriptExpand ↓

So here we are today at the Alexa Gateway project with Absure Construction in Kent Washington. We've got a total of three buildings out here. We are providing temporary environmental control services for. Got a combination of desiccant dehumidification here creating dry air and high volume. Got it then passing through an electric or I'm sorry. A gas fired in line indirect heater, and that low vapor pressure heated air then being distributed to the building and ducted throughout the entire space. Another quick look at the desiccant Diam notification system here. We're stacked. Students are stackable. Take up less real estate. And we got a combination about five thousand CFM each, so it's only a ten thousand CFM. And that is really the key, making sure you have enough velocity and the right air distributed throughout the building to create a positive pressure. Let's go inside and take a look. Here we are now on the top floor. A building three. And this building is still coming together. But you can see we've got our two desiccant dehumidifiers stacked here delivering ten thousand CFM of air. Those are being fed into the indirect fire heaters and then that air is then brought up to the window opening Get a nice job on the plywood poured up here, and we're running flex duct which is rigid. It's got a coil in it. Very durable. And then once we're inside the space, we switch to a ten mil polylay flat tube. And this suspends the dry, low vapor pressure air. It is so critical to accelerating dry times in this environment. You can see how clean this is. Century located system down below brought into the building, distribution ducting, and this is perforated. For each project. So we've got dry air blowing into this unit. As you walk down, you'll find more perforations and the key It's just the velocity and the volume of the air that we're delivering. Again, there's another perforation. And dry air. Just continuously flooding the floor space. Anything that's holding a higher vapor pressure, then the vapor pressure of this ambient air is going to give off moisture. That's how we're able to produce eleven to twelve hour dry times on joint compound. That's how we're able to get the moisture content down in the wood framing. And lastly, The JIP Creek, the floor leveling product, introduces a significant amount of moisture, and the desiccant dehumidification system does a great job of drying that material at an accelerated rate. So as we continue on, you can see just how much of this just distribution ducting can be ran off of the centrally located system. Often times we'll use elevator shaft openings as a means of egress into the building. They didn't want to do that. Because they've got work going on. So we chose the exterior and used a window opening with the board up. Again, just like the temporary lighting, we're running temporary ducting. And this is continuously dispersing dry, heated air, to the construction environment. These guys love it. Contractor loves it because it accelerates the schedule. Good stuff. Hand it over to Polygon. And we'll knock it out of the park.

Bell partnership lets Hitachi target the classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market

Bell partnership lets Hitachi target the classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market

Through a collaboration with Bell Equipment, Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas plans to add three articulated dump trucks: the ZD30, ZD45 and ZD50. The launch is scheduled for early summer 2027, and Hitachi dealers in the United States and Canada will support the trucks. Ranging from 30 to 50 tons, the models put Hitachi in the equipment classes that make up roughly 90% of the North American ADT market. The lineup gives contractors a single dealer network for excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks.

  • 01Hitachi's ZD30, ZD45, ZD50 articulated trucks launch early summer 2027 and address size classes representing about 90% of North American ADT demand
  • 02Bell Equipment, with over 26 years in the North American ADT market, manufactures the trucks while Hitachi dealers distribute and support them across the U.S. and Canada
  • 03The partnership lets Hitachi dealers quote excavators, wheel loaders, and ADTs from one network, expanding their offering.

Hover 3D roof measurements now flow straight into Trussi roofing estimates

Hover 3D roof measurements now flow straight into Trussi roofing estimates

Trussi, built inside Shamrock Roofing and Construction, imports Hover 3D measurements into job records and estimate fields. Hover reports bill to the contractor’s own Hover account at existing pricing, with no markup. One phone capture can also support exterior quotes in multi-trade workflows.

  • 01Hover reports bill to the contractor's own Hover account at existing prices, with no reseller markup.
  • 02One smartphone capture can feed both a roof estimate and a siding, window, door and trim takeoff, which matters most for contractors who sell more than one exterior trade.

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore expands NVIDIA collaboration on construction digital twins

Procore has announced closed-beta digital twin capabilities, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, that link 3D models to procurement and schedule data and to DroneDeploy site captures. How much they pay off likely depends on how current each contractor's schedule and procurement records are, especially on data center megaprojects.

  • 01Procore’s NVIDIA twin links model to schedule and procurement data, showing how a late delivery can ripple into downstream work.
  • 02A delay simulation is only as good as the delivery dates behind it: projects that track procurement outside Procore would get the 3D model with less of the ripple analysis.
  • 03Investing.com says Commissioning and an IBM Maximo integration are in beta; they could extend the twin past handover as closed beta expands.
