As construction projects become more complex and data-driven, new digital tools and workflows are emerging to revolutionize safety, quality control, and project management. This session features two innovative case studies that demonstrate how technology enhances construction practices—from real-time digital dig boards to advanced workflows for high-rise as-built verification. These projects showcase practical applications that improve team communication, increase accuracy, and ultimately create safer, more efficient job sites.
Taking Construction Dig Boards to the Next Level
This presentation introduces a digital transformation of construction dig boards, advancing the traditional approach of printed maps to a live, interactive touchscreen. By incorporating a jobsite-specific app accessible via QR codes, teams can view real-time as-builts, track dig permits, and pinpoint exact ground disturbance locations for improved utility safety. The session will discuss essential elements for a successful digital dig board, including a solid base map, clear roles, and consistent updates, all of which contribute to safer, better-coordinated worksites and more accessible data.
Transforming High-Rise Construction: An Innovative Workflow for Enhanced Quality Control
 An Innovative Workflow for Enhanced Quality ControlLearn how high-precision laser scanning and real-time data integration are elevating quality control in high-rise construction through the case of a 32-story residential tower project in Austin, Texas. This presentation details an advanced workflow that combines laser scanning, immediate data processing, and model integration to ensure the utmost accuracy. Attendees will gain insights into each step, from control line setup to model alignment, discrepancy analysis, and quality resolution, illustrating how this innovative approach boosts precision, efficiency, and inter-team coordination in complex construction projects.
