The challenge
The business need
A 40-year-old construction contractor specializing in an innovative solution for drilling under challenging geologies – from rivers to landfills to highways for oil, water, sewage or telecom lines.
Challenges
Impact
Manual tracking of safety incidents was prone to human error.
Inconsistent safety measures affected subcontractor reliability, risking the client’s zero-injury record.
Subcontractors' safety incidents could jeopardize the client's competitive edge in bidding.

The Solution
The solution
Processing computer vision at the edge is most cost-effective. Viso recommended a durable edge device suited for harsh construction environments, aligning with the client’s goals for affordability and long-term scalability.
The end-to-end application built on Viso included:
- Monitoring of “person under load”: Viso was configured to alert only when people were near live machinery
- Adherence around PPE usage
- Visibility into dangerous situation such as workers stepping over cables
Client teams were trained to re-configure applications to the requirements of each new site – from adjusting the area of interest to configuring updates to logic driving alerts, alarms or how visual data was pushed to their BI tool.
Business outcomes
The customer gained:
- Behavioural change that minimized contributing factors to injury
- Enhanced safety and compliance across all sites
- Higher win rate on bids given proactive safety measures in place
- Enhanced trust in subcontractors
