Engineering Matters Podcast #66 Fever screening at airports
Our experts, Fiona O’Shea and Rob Middleton, have teamed up with Engineering Matters to explain how we are integrating thermal camera and management technology into airport and airline systems, to ensure greater safety, a more seamless passenger experience and smooth airport operations for the long term.

Integrating thermal imaging technology to help restore air passenger confidence
Thermal imaging technology will play an important role in the aviation sector’s strategy to minimise risk, keep staff and passengers safe and increase public confidence in flying following the Covid-19 pandemic. Several airports have already announced their use and Costain is right at the heart of this development, helping to drive the role of digital technology and innovation in supporting UK recovery and productivity.

How a digital twin can deliver immeasurable benefits without immeasurable costs
The benefits of having a digital twin for just one infrastructure asset are many: This single source of information can reduce the number of site visits, enhancing safety and minimising downtime, as well as minimise the risk of delays and escalating costs to capital projects, to name a few. The benefits of a digital twin at a national scale would be immeasurable.
Digital innovations in archaeology enables Costain to focus on past whilst embracing the future
This week we’re celebrating the British Festival of Archaeology and the theme this year, decided by the Council for British Archaeology, is ‘archaeology, science and technology’ or #ArchaeoTech. Caroline Raynor, principal archaeologist and project director for CSjv at HS2 enabling works contract, talks us through the innovative technology solutions being used to restore the past whilst embracing the future.
