Modern technology has become a catalyst for transformation within the construction industry, revolutionizing everyday tasks, and making them easier to accomplish while enhancing worker safety. From advanced measuring instruments to digitization and automation, these innovative technologies are completely reshaping the way construction projects are executed.
Total Station: Precision at Your Fingertips
Labor-intensive manual angle and area measurements have become a thing of the past since the introduction of the laser total station. This tool has become ubiquitous on construction sites, streamlining work processes with its electronic measurement features. The addition of this new technology in the construction industry has transformed the way distance and angle measurements are taken, saving valuable time and significantly improving accuracy on construction sites.
Laser Guided Excavation: Unleashing Efficiency
Excavation work has seen a remarkable boost in efficiency through the combination of total stations, laser sensors, and digital screens. With an integrated system of technology, a single excavator operator can calculate levels and perform precise digging tasks effortlessly. Since Spectra's commercial use introduction of lasers in construction in 1968, the excavation process has been revolutionized with new and updated technology, allowing for unprecedented efficiency gains across building sites worldwide.
Safety Halos: Protecting Lives, Preventing Accidents
Ensuring worker safety is crucial on construction sites. Safety halos, equipped with machine and vehicle markers, have emerged as a vital innovation in safeguarding workers. Invented by Max Baker in 2011, these ingenious halo lights provide 360-degree visibility, creating highly visible danger zones that allow workers to be both seen and protected, ultimately reducing the risk of accidents and injuries on building sites.
Digitization: Empowering Efficient Communication
The digitization of construction processes has revolutionized communication on building sites. With digital tools, such as tablets, information sharing has become instantaneous and seamless, allowing design information, changes, inventories, and important paperwork to be effortlessly shared among team members. Although much of the construction industry lags behind in terms of digitalization, forward-thinking companies are leveraging data and digital tools to accelerate decarbonization and drive efficiency in construction.
Personal Protective Equipment: Safeguarding Workers
Amidst a range of technological advancements, the development of personal protective equipment (PPE) is arguably one of the most remarkable. In particular, safety harnesses, serving as a groundbreaking alternative to traditional body belts, have eliminated concerns about "falling correctly", playing a pivotal role in improving worker safety. While the use of PPE dates back centuries, specific legislation mandating its use was only introduced in countries such as the UK and Australia between the late 1980s and early 1990s, underscoring the importance of prioritizing worker safety across construction sites globally.
