In the heart of NYC and any major city, the importance of safeguarding construction sites and their surrounding structures cannot be overstated.
At Saltus Construction Monitoring Services, we blend cutting-edge technology with decades of experience to create safer environments not just for buildings and structures, but for the people working on them.
Our comprehensive monitoring solutions are designed to preemptively address potential hazards, ensuring that construction projects proceed without compromising the safety of workers or nearby structures.
Below, we’ll take a closer look at the many ways our various services accomplish these goals.
Key Monitoring Services for Construction Worker Safety
Our suite of construction worker safety monitoring services is meticulously crafted to address the unique challenges faced by various projects.
By integrating advanced monitoring techniques, we can detect issues early, allowing for timely interventions that protect both the integrity of structures and the well-being of workers.
Existing Conditions Documentation
Before construction begins, documenting the existing conditions of the buildings and structures in the work zone provides a comprehensive baseline. This documentation helps in planning and executing projects safely by identifying potential hazards and ensuring that all aspects of the surrounding properties are understood.
By having a clear, detailed record of the surrounding properties’ initial state, we can better manage risks and protect workers from unforeseen dangers that could arise during construction.
Vibration Monitoring Services
Vibration monitoring is a necessary aspect of maintaining the structural integrity and operational efficiency of any construction site. During construction, various activities such as pile driving, excavation, demolition, and heavy machinery operation can generate vibrations that might affect the stability of surrounding structures. Unchecked vibrations can lead to cracks, structural damage, and even failures, posing significant risks to both workers and nearby buildings.
At Saltus Construction Monitoring Services, our advanced vibration monitoring solutions are designed to detect and analyze vibrational activity to prevent damage to the in-progress build and neighboring properties, ensuring the safety of the on-site workers and everyone located in the active construction zone.
Optical Structural Surveying
Optical Structural Surveying uses complex instruments to measure and monitor any movement in buildings and structures. The use of Manned Total Stations or Automated Motorized Total Stations (AMTS) allows our team to detect even the slightest shifts or displacements in neighboring structures that may have been caused by construction-related activities.
By identifying these changes early, we can prevent potential structural failures that could pose significant risks to workers on site. Regular surveys ensure that any emerging issues are caught and addressed promptly, maintaining a safe working environment.
Crack Gauge Monitoring
Crack Gauge Monitoring involves the use of specialized gauges to track any developments in existing cracks or fissures in nearby structures that were identified in the existing conditions documentation process.
This ongoing monitoring allows us to observe changes and take immediate corrective actions if necessary. By addressing these issues early, we prevent further deterioration that could lead to hazardous conditions for construction workers.
Wireless Tiltmeter Monitoring
Our Wireless Tiltmeter Monitoring systems provide insightful and accurate data on the tilt and inclination of nearby structures. These advanced devices are strategically placed to detect even the slightest changes in angle, ensuring continuous surveillance of structural stability. When abnormal movements are detected, the system immediately alerts our team and the construction site management, allowing for a rapid response to potential structural issues. This proactive approach prevents minor shifts from developing into major problems that could compromise both the project and worker safety.
The immediate feedback provided by these systems ensures that workers are not exposed to unsafe conditions, maintaining a more secure and stable worksite environment. By monitoring the tilt and inclination of buildings and structures in the construction zone, we can also gather valuable data to assess the long-term stability of structures, informing maintenance and future construction planning.
