Insights on Construction Technology and Site Visibility

Talent Garden Dublin is the home to Intel�s new AI for computer vision incubator programme � Intel Edge-AI Incubator.

Furthermore, the good news is that Evercam has been given spaces in Talent Garden Dublin for 6 months to work with Intel engineers on their embedded vision technology.

The proof that Computer Vision & Machine Learning can have a significant impact on the construction industry.

Looking forward to what lies ahead.

Congratulations to the Evercam Tech Team!

The SBIR programme, in partnership with Enterprise Ireland, develops exciting new solutions to tackle regional challenges across Dublin.

On Thursday, Nov 22,  the Phase 2 @SBIRIreland Presentations took place at the Dublin City Council Atrium.

Marco Herbst presented Litterbug, an SBIR funded project to reduce littering in Dublin City.

Litterbug prevents littering on Dublin streets through easy installed battery powered cameras that detects littering and produces an audio warning, encouraging people to take their rubbish home.

In the video below, a red box is a littering detected event, a white box is a candidate (not detected, but suspicious) event.

CitA Tech Live took place on November 8th & 9th at Croke Park, Dublin.

#CitATechLive is organised by the Construction IT Alliance (CitA). CitA promotes and supports the best use of technology within the construction industry and provides discounted training to construction professionals through the CitA Skillnet.

Showcasing the latest construction technologies with 7 keynote speakers, 4 live stages & panel discussions. Moreover, the event covered themes such as BIM Innovations, Drones, Reality Tech and Smart Cities.Vinnie Quinn gave a keynote talk on Site Cameras as a Live Project Management and Marketing Resource. In other words, showing off some tips to make the most of your Construction Cameras (with a sneak peek at Evercam AI!).

They love to talk Construction Cameras and Technology.

Vinnie Quinn ready to talk about our favourite topics � technology & construction cameras.

What�s next? Real-time data and site cameras � a sneak peek at Evercam AI.

Thanks to everyone who came to visit us at the CitA Tech Live event. We had interesting discussions with attendees about the importance of having on-site cameras for project management, video production and real-time reports.

The CIF Safety Week campaign was a huge success again this year, the week aims to reduce accidents and fatalities in the construction industry by highlighting how quickly and easily something can go wrong and the importance of always thinking Safety.

The Construction Safety Week is an opportunity to take stock of safety procedures and work together to drive home the positive safety message. Good health and safety depend on co-operation between all parties on a project � from client to designers and contractors � everyone�s safety depends on their co-workers or the person working beside you or above you.For this year campaign, we have collaborated with Initiafy, a Contractor Management Software, to raise awareness of safety and health issues and to understand how digital inductions and construction site cameras can improve productivity in collaboration for a safe and compliant workplace.

Check out  Evercam Lottie and Initiafy Lottie working safely together on compliance, training and development in construction:

CIF Safety Week 2018 Highlights

Working Safely at Height

Accidents involving falls from height remain stubbornly high in the construction industry with 27 fatal accidents from 2011 � 2017.  Over the past 12 months, 6 people have lost their lives in construction-related activity, knowing the correct procedures when working at heights can be life-saving.

Mind Your Heal � Positive Mental Health

The construction industry can be a stressful environment and employers are starting to wake up to the scale of the problem. Create an open dialogue, be aware of any changes in your coworkers and don�t be afraid to speak up! Make mental health conversation apart of weekly discussions so your job site becomes a safe place to express concerns.

Working Safely near Utilities

On the third day, we focused on the danger posed by working close to utilities � water mains, electricity and gas.  The message is check before you dig!

The increased spend in the construction sector is welcome, but with that comes more likelihood of unwittingly exposing yourself to the dangers posed by utilities.

Construction companies must use the information that is available from the utility companies and follow safe digging techniques when working near these services because as the slogan says �Energy = Danger �.

Working Safely with Hazardous Substances

The danger posed by with working with harmful substances such as dust, fumes, powders, liquids, gases, vapours etc.

Michael McDonagh, Head of�Construction Policy with the Health and Safety Authority (HSA)�said:

�Many workers across Europe are affected by exposure to dangerous substances. In recent decades some substances, such as asbestos, have been banned, restricted or subjected to strict regulatory control. However, dangerous substances such as Crystalline silica continue to be a major safety and health issue in many workplaces, particularly in the construction sector.�

Working Safely with Vehicles

The fifth day of Safety Week focused on Vehicle Safety. Michael McDonagh, Head of Construction Policy with the Health and Safety Authority:

�Between 2009 and 2017, there have been 20 reported deaths arising from vehicle-related accidents in the construction sector. Furthermore, there are numerous injuries each year, involving vehicles. Employers, the self-employed and construction workers, in general, need to be aware of the main risks associated with vehicles which need to be managed to protect themselves, their workers and members of the public, throughout all construction activity.�

Well done to The CIF and all the companies for taking part in this nationwide safety awareness campaign.

Many thanks to Intertrade Ireland and the team at��Carl Best DOP�(http://www.carlbestdop.com/) for preparing this beautiful video.

The support we received was from the Elevate program which gave us our first boost into the Northern Ireland market, now home to some of our favourite customers such as Graham Construction and Formme Construction

If you are working on a construction project, you probably have a CCTV camera system set up at the site or are planning to set one up. Security at a construction site is important, and CCTV cameras can certainly help with that.

However�

Did you know that time-lapse cameras can offer a construction site so much more than just security?

Time-lapse and project management cameras offer a lot of value and unique features to construction projects that security cameras cannot.

Construction Cameras vs CCTV Cameras

Evercam Project Management Cameras CCTV Security Cameras Overall view � cover the complete action Perimeter control � keep people out Self-monitored Remotely monitored Used daily Used for exceptions only Record entire construction project Record about 30 days history High resolution Low resolution

Showcase Your Work

You can use construction time-lapse videos, live streaming, and social media collateral to engage your stakeholders, build brand exposure, reach a wider audience, and enhance your marketing/sales tools.

Empower Project Managers

Having the right image at the right time will allow you to share the progress of your project, showcase project milestones, and have live/immediate access to your footage wherever you need it.

You Own the Evidence

Don�t just win disputes, avoid them! Owning complete footage of your entire project will help you with health and safety incident analysis/archival, potential QS disputes, potential sub-contractor disputes, and progress management. Your footage will also allow everyone to be on the same page for site meetings.
