High Risk in Construction Industry and Necessity of Technology- Based Disaster Prevention
According to 2023 labor inspection statistics, although the construction industry accounts for only 5.47% of all industries, it represents 50% of occupational fatalities, with falling accidents accounting for as high as 47%, highlighting the high-risk nature of construction environments.
To reduce construction site risks, introducing technology-based disaster prevention measures has become a key corporate strategy. Kedge Construction has introduced multiple technology-based disaster prevention applications to help construction sites improve safety standards.
BIM Simulation Technology: Predicting Construction Risks
BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology can be used in excavation support construction, system formwork construction, and other scenarios, predicting potential risks through 3D simulation for early adjustments.
Benefits of BIM
- Pre-simulate construction behaviors to avoid construction risks caused by poor design
- Ensure construction flow and spatial safety through 3D analysis
- Reduce the proportion of unsafe equipment and unsafe actions
High-Risk Area Safety Monitoring Technology
Fixed Electronic Perimeter
- Installed in high-risk areas to monitor personnel, vehicles, or foreign objects entering the alert zone.
- The system sends real-time alerts to mobile phones, notifying on-site personnel to handle the situation.
Mobile CCTV Monitoring
- Adjusts monitor positions according to construction progress, real-timen monitoring of construction site conditions through APP.
- Reminds on-site personnel through broadcasting to avoid high-risk operations.
Smart Electrical Shock Prevention
Smart Electrical Box Monitoring System
- When electrical boxes are opened without authorization, the system automatically issues alerts.
- Automatically inspects temporary electrical panels weekly to ensure electrical safety.
Mechanical Collision Prevention Technology
Magnetic Collision Prevention Alert System
- When construction machinery approaches personnel, the system automatically issues alerts.
- Ensures immediate collision avoidance when construction site vehicles are operating.
Vehicle and Construction Machinery Auxiliary Display System
- When construction machinery approaches personnel, drivers can immediately detect through their screens.
Aerial Work Platform Safety Protection
- Equipped with sensing devices controlled through mobile phone APP, issuing warning sounds when objects are detected.
Heat Hazard and Environmental Monitoring Technology
Automatic Push Notification System
When temperatures are excessively high, the system pushes alerts to construction site personnel, reminding them to hydrate.
On-site automatic misting cooling devices are installed to reduce working area temperatures.
Environmental Automatic Monitoring Station
- Monitors air quality and water level changes to ensure construction site environmental safety.
Conclusion: Future Development of Technology-Based Disaster Prevention
Technology-based disaster prevention applications have become important tools for improving construction site safety. Through BIM simulation, high-risk area monitoring, smart electrical boxes, and environmental monitoring technologies, construction site accident rates can be effectively reduced.
In the future, companies will continue to introduce more AI smart monitoring and automated safety equipment to achieve zero-accident goals.
