Mercedes Santos has been selected as the New Zealand Institute of Management’s Project Manager of the Year for 2014. As Senior Project Manager, Highways and Networks Operations at NZTA, it has been Santos’s recent work on the Waikato Expressway that earned her the award.

Santos has been with the NZTA since 2011, but previously, spent three years with Harrison Grierson Consultants, where she worked first as a civil engineer and then in contract management and project management, and was mentored for some of that time by Resolve Group’s Thomas Haarhoff. Everyone at Resolve Group would like to congratulate Mercedes on her success.

Many of you may not be aware that Resolve Group deploys high definition construction cameras (HDCC) on jobs where this will assist with the management and documentation of job sites. The HDCC system is a valuable strategic tool for clients, project managers and project teams. It is an integrated, high definition digital webcam system designed specifically for the requirements of the construction industry and comes as a turnkey solution including hardware, software, image hosting, website hosting and technical support. You can view a time-lapse video of the Grafton Gully Cycleway construction, filmed by us, below.

Unlike traditional webcams that provide a grainy, low resolution image, the HDCC captures and stores images at up to 5 megapixels, in real time, providing an accurate record of the construction process. Click here to download a PDF with all the HDCC features and specifications.
