The Applications of AI in Construction

JAMIE RITBLAT

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being leveraged in a variety of different ways by progressive construction companies, including:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) detection, saving lives and work-related injuries by ensuring PPE is used properly

• Workplace hazard detection, with AI-based computer vision solutions tracking, predicting and even preventing workplace accidents

• Defect detection in concrete, identifying small cracks, dents and leaks that can turn into big problems later on if left untreated.

• Corrosion detection through AI techniques like object detection and image classification to prevent structures and machines breaking down

• Infrastructure asset inspection, enabling stakeholders to inspect infrastructure assets on construction sites remotely and providing up-to-date construction tracking data to help site managers stay on target

• Land survey and mapping via AI-powered drone and camera technology

• Labour efficiency monitoring, with AI-powered computer vision installed on construction sites, monitoring worker activity through techniques like human pose estimation and object detection to track the productivity of workers and teams

• Pipeline inspection, relying on drones and remotely operated vehicles to capture survey videos of the pipeline

• Predictive maintenance, maintaining the health of on-site equipment.
