Leaders are leveraging AI as a vital companion to enhance safety and efficiency across large-scale global construction sites.

The Only Limit is Imagination. The application of artificial intelligence to the construction of large-scale projects, and specifically to construction site activities, are still largely unexplored. However, ongoing innovations in experimentation promise to revolutionize the industry. The use of robotics, the connection and integration of machines, sensors, and devices on site that “communicate” with each other, predictive maintenance driven by data collection and analysis, and augmented reality for staff training are just some examples of what artificial intelligence can do and how it can help transform the construction world. Starting with safety—one of the strategic sectors where innovations can enhance productivity while also saving lives. In this regard, Webuild’s construction sites around the world represent a new frontier of artificial intelligence, where innovative solutions are tested to minimize workers’ exposure to risk.
«Globally, explains Dr. Giampiero Astuti, Head of Innovation Program Management at Webuild, there is a hierarchy of safety controls ranging from the cultural factors, so anything that is linked to human behaviors, to the technical-organizational controls, including the technological one, which aim to intervene to the source of hazard. This is where artificial intelligence comes into play.»
The application of artificial intelligence in Webuild’s construction sites is being tested precisely where the risks are highest: in the movements of large construction machinery, in workers’ behavior inside tunnels, and in the operations of TBMs, the massive tunnel boring machines that dig tunnels.
«The potential is immense, continues Astuti, and we have begun testing these new AI applications in some sites and on certain models, starting from Paris and extending to Australia».
The application of AI in the Grand Paris Express Construction Sites
One of the first applications of artificial intelligence was tested in the construction of the Grand Paris Express, the new metro network in Paris that will connect the towns of Île-de-France.[…]
