Construction Risk Intelligence Hub

AI ingests project plans, site data, sensor streams, and historical incidents to continuously identify, forecast, and prioritize safety and operational risks on construction sites. It recommends mitigation actions, monitors high-risk activities in real time, and supports compliant risk documentation—reducing accidents, delays, and rework while protecting workers and project margins.

The Problem

Your sites stay risky because critical warning signals are buried across disconnected data

Organizations face these key challenges:

1

Safety teams learn about risks only after near-misses, injuries, or shutdowns occur

2

Risk data is scattered across plans, emails, spreadsheets, sensors, and reports with no single view

3

Site managers rely on manual walks and gut feel to prioritize hazards and high-risk activities

4

New tech (robots, AI tools, automation) introduces legal and safety risks no one is systematically tracking

Impact When Solved

Fewer incidents and shutdownsProactive, real-time risk visibilityProtect margins while scaling complex projects

The Shift

Before AI~85% Manual

Human Does

  • Walk the site to spot hazards and unsafe behaviors manually.
  • Compile and maintain risk registers and method statements using paper, spreadsheets, and PDFs.
  • Review incident reports, inspections, and photos by hand to identify trends and root causes.
  • Check compliance with safety procedures and regulations through periodic audits and checklists.

Automation

  • Basic use of fixed sensor alarms (e.g., simple thresholds on gas detectors, crane overload, access control).
  • Document storage and sharing via EHS or project management systems, with minimal analytics.
  • Manual rules-based alerts (e.g., if checklist item = NO, send email).
With AI~75% Automated

Human Does

  • Set risk appetite, safety standards, and escalation rules; decide which AI recommendations to adopt.
  • Act on prioritized alerts and mitigation recommendations (e.g., adjust sequencing, re-plan lifts, change manpower or access).
  • Handle complex, ambiguous, or politically sensitive risk decisions involving clients, regulators, unions, and insurers.

AI Handles

  • Continuously ingest project plans, schedules, BIM models, site logs, sensor feeds, and incident history to identify and rank risks.
  • Forecast where/when safety and operational risks are likely to increase based on patterns in activities, conditions, and past incidents.
  • Generate prioritized risk dashboards and real-time alerts tuned to different roles (safety officer, PM, superintendent, DOE site lead).
  • Recommend specific mitigation actions (e.g., reschedule overlapping high-risk tasks, add spotters, change access routes, increase monitoring).

Quick Win

Construction Risk Alert Dashboard

Typical Timeline:Days

A lightweight risk alert dashboard that aggregates key signals from existing project management and safety systems to highlight obvious red flags. It uses simple rules and AutoML-based risk scoring on tabular data (incidents, inspections, RFIs, delays) to prioritize projects and locations needing attention. This validates the value of centralized, data-driven risk visibility without touching complex sensor or vision data.

Key Challenges

  • Limited historical incident data can make model training noisy or biased.
  • Data quality issues across PM and safety systems may reduce trust in scores.
  • Stakeholders may resist automated risk scores without clear explanations.
  • Integrating with legacy tools or spreadsheets can require manual work.
  • Avoiding alert fatigue while still surfacing meaningful risks.
