AI for Construction Sites — Safety, Quality, Security & Progress

Challenges

Five fronts where safety, quality, security, plant, progress and workforce signals slip past on a live construction site, and why CCTV watched by people alone cannot keep up.

A · Site Safety & PPE

PPE

A bare-headed worker without a hard hat among colleagues wearing helmets on a construction site

Inconsistent PPE at scale

PPE

A worker in plain clothes without a hi-vis vest standing near a moving wheel loader

Vest gaps on plant & vehicle routes

Work at height A worker at the unprotected edge of a high concrete slab without a fall-arrest harness

Fatal fall & struck-by risk

B · Quality, defects & schedule

Quality

Early-stage fire with small flames and smoke beginning among stacked site materials

Defects found at handover

Schedule

An emergency exit doorway blocked by stacked boxes and debris

Schedule slips found late

Material

An oil and water spill spreading across a concrete factory floor

Material & tool theft

C · Plant, vehicles & lifting

Plant

A forklift operating close to a pedestrian worker inside a warehouse

Vehicle–pedestrian conflicts

Excavation An open excavation trench with no barrier or fence around it

Unbarriered excavations

Lifting

A worker walking directly underneath a heavy load suspended from a tower crane

Lifting-zone clearance breach

D · Security, access & night ops

Coverage

A control room with one operator facing a large wall of many CCTV feeds

Too many feeds, too few eyes

Night

Unmanned perimeters at night

Lone worker A single worker isolated in a remote corner of a large industrial site at dusk

Lone & remote workers

E · Compliance, reports & scale

Heat

Heat-stress & midday exposure

Reporting

A cluttered site safety office desk covered with paper incident forms and clipboards

Manual reports & site walks

Compliance A crowded site entrance at shift start with many workers entering at once

50+ subcontractors to audit

Solutions

Every gap above has an answer below: how the AI sees, what it detects across safety, quality, security, plant, progress and workforce, how alerts become action, the analytics you get, and a deployment that fits your existing cameras and Saudi data rules.

AI Technology

Our solution is built on data-driven video analytics, computer vision that watches live feeds and understands what it sees. The same AI runs across any input you bring: site CCTV, drones, 360° captures and BIM overlays, autonomous robot dogs and smart helmets, all connected into one platform and one app, and processed on-site inside the Kingdom. From a missing hard hat to a hairline crack, an intruder at the fence, a plant conflict or a drone progress scan, every safety, quality, security and progress event is flagged the moment it appears. We keep the engine proprietary; what follows is how it works for you.

Any input, one platform

AI Video Analytics

The brain behind every source. Computer vision analyses each frame in real time and flags every safety, quality, security and progress event the moment it appears, from a missing hard hat to a hairline crack, an intruder or a plant conflict.

Existing fixed and PTZ CCTV cameras on an industrial building

Your Existing CCTV

Runs on the cameras you already have, fixed, PTZ and thermal, with no rip-and-replace in most sites.

A survey drone flying over a construction site

Drones & Aerial

Drones carry the same AI across large sites and hard-to-reach areas, from above — drone progress scans, perimeter sweeps and aerial BIM overlay for the as-built view.

An autonomous quadruped robot dog patrolling an industrial site

Autonomous Robot Dog

A four-legged robot patrols hazardous or remote zones on its own, taking the AI where fixed cameras cannot reach.

Smart Safety Helmet

Worker-worn helmets with an on-board camera add a first-person view and lone-worker protection to the same system.

On-Site Edge AI

All analysis runs on a secure unit at your site, so footage and data stay inside the Kingdom, in line with PDPL.

A unified construction app on a phone showing every connected camera and device

One Unified App, everything connected

Every site CCTV, drone, robot, helmet, 360° capture and BIM overlay feeds a single platform and one app — one place to watch the whole construction site, verify safety, quality, security and progress alerts, and act. Add a new device and it simply appears in the same view.

Integration with Your Systems

We adapt to your setup, you don't rebuild for us. The AI runs on the site CCTV, drones, 360° captures and BIM overlays you already have: a small on-site unit pulls the video, your cameras and VMS keep running untouched, and in most sites nothing is replaced.

Works with what you have

A mix of existing fixed and PTZ CCTV cameras on an industrial building

No rip-and-replace

In 70–80% of sites your existing cameras are reused as they are. We connect over standard RTSP / ONVIF, compatible with virtually any IP camera.

A small edge-AI appliance plugged in beside an existing network switch

Plugs in alongside

A small on-site sidecar unit pulls the camera streams. Your cameras and current VMS keep running exactly as they do today, no disruption.

Survey before spend

A pre-deployment camera survey (included) checks each camera's resolution, angle and lighting, so you know exactly what qualifies before buying anything.

Connects to your monitoring systems

Milestone XProtect Genetec Security Center Hikvision / HikCentral Dahua DSS Axis Camera Station

We integrate with the leading VMS platforms used in the Kingdom, pushing events and alerts straight into the system your control room already uses. Not on the list? The edge unit also runs fully standalone over direct RTSP, no VMS required.

Camera requirements

Parameter	Minimum	Recommended
Resolution	2 MP (1080p)	4 MP or higher
Frame rate	10 fps	15–25 fps
Low light	IR / night capable	True WDR
Detail on target	head ≥ 20 px	≥ 40 px for PPE
Compression	H.264	H.265 (½ the bandwidth)

Network & footprint

Light on bandwidth, a few Mbps per 1080p camera; H.265 halves it.
Only alerts leave the edge, short event clips and metadata, never full 24/7 video.
Processed on-site, a site VPN or private APN covers remote locations; data stays in the Kingdom.
No new software for your team, the dashboard is browser-based; nothing to install.

Use Cases

One AI platform for the whole construction site — safety, quality, security, plant and progress. From a missing hard hat to a hairline crack, an intruder at the fence or a schedule slip, every event is flagged on the cameras and drones you already run, with a pixel-precise segmentation mask.

02

A compact edge GPU appliance processing video on site

Edge AI

Inference runs on a small on-site GPU appliance, so video and data stay inside the Kingdom

03

A monitor showing workers segmented by AI masks on a live site feed

Detect

A three-stage cascade segments people, PPE, plant, vehicles, defects and intruders on every frame, across safety, quality, security, plant, progress and workforce events

06

Confirm

For non-critical events an operator confirms with a clip and scene description before anyone is dispatched

07

Dashboard

Every camera, zone and live alert appears on one dashboard, on a control-room screen or a phone — safety, quality, security, plant, progress and workforce together

08

An automatically generated construction report with charts and an audit trail

Report & audit

Shift and daily reports, KPIs and an immutable audit trail are generated automatically for MOL/MOMRA, client audits and ISO 45001, in line with PDPL

The Monitoring Platform

One console for the construction team. Overview, events, cameras, workers, zones, reports and live AI inspection, all in a single app. Every alert traces back to the camera that raised it, the zone it sits in, the moment it happened, and the confidence the AI gave it. Built for Saudi giga-projects (NEOM, Qiddiya, Red Sea) and processed on-site inside the Kingdom in line with PDPL. Live today at viewkeepersa.com/VisualDefectDemo/hse.
