Advance Notice
Residents may receive a flyer before work begins, but schedules can change after that notice is delivered.
Project Communication
Everyone Gets Notified.
Everyone Knows When It Opens.
Donelson Construction uses CrewCast to give residents, businesses, and project stakeholders direct access to construction information, schedule updates, and road-opening notifications throughout PressurePave® projects.
The communication gap
Road Work Changes Quickly. Traditional Communication Doesn't.
Construction schedules can change with weather, curing conditions, production progress, and field conditions. A static notice can explain what was planned, but it cannot always tell residents what is happening right now.
Active Construction
Weather, production, curing conditions, and access needs can affect how the project progresses throughout the day.
The Unknown
Without a direct project communication source, residents may be left wondering whether the road is open, delayed, or still under construction.
CrewCast keeps the communication moving with the construction.

Real-Time Road Construction Communication.
See how CrewCast connects cities, contractors, and the people affected by construction with project information that can change as quickly as the work itself.
From notification to reopening
Communication Starts Before the Paver Arrives.
Donelson Construction uses CrewCast as part of a broader project communication process that begins before resurfacing starts and continues until the roadway returns to normal operation.
Before Construction
Residents Are Notified.
Approximately 24–48 hours or more before resurfacing, Donelson's traffic control team distributes project notifications to affected residents and businesses.
Connect to the Project
Scan the QR Code.
The project notice can include a QR code that takes the resident directly to the CrewCast page for that specific construction project.
Follow the Work
View the Project.
Residents can follow the project, review project details, and see the construction area on an interactive map.
Conditions Change
Updates Change With Them.
Schedule changes, weather delays, and other important project information can be communicated as field conditions evolve.
Road Ready
Residents Know When It Opens.
When the project team determines that the roadway is ready for normal operation, a project update can let followers know that access has been restored.
From the resident's point of view
One Place to Understand What's Happening.
CrewCast gives residents a central project page instead of forcing them to piece together information from signs, social media posts, city phone calls, or word of mouth.
Interactive Project Map
See where construction is taking place and understand the area affected by the project.
Project Details
Review information about the work being performed and the project residents are following.
Schedule Updates
Follow changing project schedules as construction progresses.
Weather Delays
Receive updated project information when weather affects scheduled work.
Road-Open Updates
Know when the roadway has returned to normal operation.
Two lines of communication
CrewCast Doesn't Replace People in the Field.
Donelson combines digital project communication with trained traffic control professionals positioned throughout the work zone.
In the Field
Professional Traffic Control
Flaggers communicate directly with residents, motorists, businesses, and the production crew as conditions change throughout the project.
- Resident questions
- Motorist guidance
- Intersection access
- Production coordination
Online
CrewCast
CrewCast extends project communication beyond the work zone so residents can follow updates from their phone.
- Interactive project map
- Project schedule
- Weather updates
- Road-opening information
One Project. Two Lines of Communication.
People in the field handle immediate questions and traffic conditions while CrewCast gives residents a digital connection to the broader project.
Better communication for the project owner
Better-Informed Residents Can Mean Fewer Unknowns for the City.
CrewCast gives cities and agencies another way to keep project information available to the people affected by roadway construction.
A Central Information Source
Residents have a dedicated project location for current construction information.
Faster Project Updates
Schedule changes and field conditions can be communicated without relying only on static notices.
Support for City Staff
Project communication can give residents another source of information instead of depending exclusively on city offices for updates.
A Better Project Experience
Communication becomes part of project delivery rather than something addressed only after questions arise.
~90%
Reduction in resident phone-call complaints
Communication Can Reduce the Burden on the Project Owner.
On select Donelson Construction projects, this communication approach has been associated with an approximately 90% reduction in resident phone-call complaints.
Observed on select projects. Results vary based on project type, location, resident participation, and other conditions.
Part of the PressurePave® project experience
Communication Is Built Into the Project.
Donelson Construction offers CrewCast project communication for PressurePave® projects when the customer chooses to use the service.
There is no additional charge to the PressurePave project customer for CrewCast participation.
Together with professional traffic control, CrewCast helps Donelson manage more of the project experience from advance notification through roadway reopening.
