Scanning Technologies Technology tools are becoming more cost-effective and ubiquitous, said Salsbury. Drone scans, point cloud laser scan, and groundpenetrating radar (GPR), aid the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing areas of construction with their ability to create accurate 3D models of surfaces, elevations, and subterranean areas with data collected via drone, camera, and digital devices. Self-healing Concrete Invented by a micro-biologist and an engineer, self-healing concrete is comprised of traditional concrete mixed with the bacteria bacillus pseudofirmus. When the bacteria are activated by water, they produce limestone, eventually, repairing the cracks. Bradbury Stamm uses selfhealing concrete, however, “cost is such that you are not going to see it except in specialized applications,” said Schultz. Wearable Technology Wearables can track individuals to ascertain productivity, project efficiency, and safety. For example, Triax Technologies’ Spot-r Clip connects the worker to a wireless network that positions the worker via GPS on the site and responds to an emergency alert, such as a slip, trip, or fall, in real time. The worker can also trigger an alert if there is a hazard at the site. Smart helmets, glasses, safety vests, and bionic suits are growing in popularity, but carry a heavy price tag. mary macdonell belisle is a freelance writer-for-hire, located in St. Cloud. wordingforyou.com
