Norcon Inc: Transforming Construction Management
THE HISTORY
Norcon Inc. is a distinguished construction firm specializing in new retail construction, commercial site work, and public recreation projects. Committed to high-quality, sustainable developments, Norcon Inc. has consistently delivered projects emphasizing community engagement and innovative construction practices.
THE CHALLENGE
Norcon Inc. embarked on a transformative project to develop a 38-acre park featuring complex elements such as converting waste lagoons into fishing ponds, installing bridges and boardwalks, regrading hills, and extensive landscaping. The project’s scale and location in environmentally sensitive areas posed significant challenges, including robust site monitoring, effective coordination of multiple subcontractors, and managing power supply issues in remote locations.
THE SOLUTION
Sensera Systems has equipped Norcon Inc. with an advanced, solar-powered PTZ camera, which is crucial for this expansive project’s extensive and adaptable coverage. This camera enables real-time monitoring and progress documentation, which are vital for adhering to stringent contract requirements and managing the site’s complex logistics and environmental sensitivities. Sensera’s solutions are actively helping Norcon Inc. keep the project on track, within budget, and in compliance with safety standards by providing reliable, real-time data. As the project progresses, this technology continues to be integral in addressing the dynamic challenges of the construction site, demonstrating the effectiveness of innovative technology in enhancing construction management.
