Case Study – Wireless Crane Camera
HerculesPro for a Mega Construction Project in Tennessee
Monitoring multiple crane operations in a complex construction site has become easier with HerculesPro wireless crane camera. This solution has been utilized at the Chickamauga Lock Replacement project to ensure safe and efficient crane lifting monitoring.
Background
This project aims to construct a new 110-ft by 600-ft lock chamber to replace the 60-ft by 360-ft lock, which has been operated since 1940. It requires at least five tower cranes, each equipped with crane cameras to provide live video feeds of the loading area for cabin operators.
Two nearby offices also need access to these live video feeds to ensure crane operation is safe. However, a traffic bridge separates the construction site from the offices, which may potentially disrupt the instant video feeds transmission to the site offices.
Solution
As the prime contractor of this project, Shimmick trusted HerculesPro to provide instant video feeds for cabin operators and site officers. Five HerculesPro are installed on the five tower cranes, providing clear and instant video feeds of the loading area using 5GHz WiFi technology to the two offices.
- Five HerculesPro were installed on each crane hook, equipped with batteries, 5GHz WiFi AP transmitters. Monitor consoles are placed in each crane cabin, allowing operators to view the lifting area.
Clear video feed in low-light conditions, monitored from inside the crane cabin
- Two control systems and directional APs are positioned higher than the traffic bridge to receive wireless video feeds from the tower cranes and transmit them to the offices.
- Two cloud-based video recording systems and directional antennas were set at two site offices, ensuring reliable monitoring of crane operations.
Real-time monitoring of 5 crane cameras remotely at the site office
HerculesPro was customized to perfectly suit the construction landscape. Enabling immediate response to safety hazards and reduces downtime of the project.
Pick a perfect Anemometer
How to Choose the Perfect Anemometer for Construction Site Safety?
Choosing anemometers is particularly important in situations where loads and equipment will be raised significantly above the ground or building.
Heat Stress
What is Heat Stress?
Heat stress is the effect that the thermal environment has on a person’s ability to maintain a normal body temperature. Inability to get rid of body heat adequately may result in heat illness.
