Edifice Construction: Enhancing Project Transparency and Collaboration
THE HISTORY
Edifice Construction is a versatile company specializing in various commercial projects, including commercial office, industrial, civic, private commercial and faith based projects. Known for its innovative approaches and high-quality results, Edifice recently embarked on an exciting new project: expanding a church facility to include a new main entry and four stories of classrooms for the church’s school. This $12 million project required careful planning and execution, particularly regarding site monitoring and management.
THE CHALLENGE
Edifice Construction faced significant challenges with this expansive project. Key concerns included monitoring construction progress, ensuring productivity, managing safety and risk, and securing the jobsite. While Edifice had previously utilized Sensera’s jobsite cameras, the remote location of this site required a more reliable and comprehensive solution due to the limitations of traditional internet connections including minimal cellular service.
THE SOLUTION
Edifice Construction found that Sensera Systems could address all of these challenges. They installed a single Sensera camera to cover the entire site for the church expansion, using Starlink Internet to overcome the connectivity issues. Sensera’s technology is designed to be highly adaptable and flexible, making it compatible with various internet connectivity solutions, including satellite. This compatibility ensured that even in remote areas with limited traditional internet access, the Sensera cameras could operate efficiently. Starlink’s satellite internet provided a high-speed, reliable connection that allowed for real-time monitoring, ensuring continuous oversight and management of the construction site. Even remotely, Sensera’s reliable performance solution underscored its effectiveness and flexibility.
THE BENEFITS
- No Power, No WiFi, No Problem! Sensera camera systems are 100% solar-powered and include LiFePo4 Batteries and optional AC Power. Cameras can run on battery power for up to 5 days (up to 10 days on XL models).
