Sir Robert McAlpine is set to roll out a 360-degree construction site monitoring tool from Dalux.
The contractor has used Dalux’s smartphone app, which allows site workers to access 3D models and other project information, for a number of years. Now Dalux has released SiteWalk, a reality capture technology that creates visual documentation for the construction site. It acts as an extension of the onsite management module, Dalux Field.
SiteWalk identifies the walked path and converts the footage into a series of detailed 360-degree images, which are linked to the digital drawing or model of the project. After a few minutes, the virtual walking route is available for all project personnel via their Dalux app. Images are collected via a 360-degree video camera mounted on a hard hat.
Padraig Delaney, regional digital construction lead at Sir Robert McAlpine, said: “SiteWalk will bring immediate benefits to our projects. The current time it takes to capture progress is expected to more than halve. The simplicity and ability to capture progress allows us to action on the data in a timely manner, streamlining traditional site tasks.”
