A construction company has achieved significant safety improvements by using AI-powered video analysis, reducing fatal accidents by 80%, boosting monitoring efficiency by 80%, and cutting monitoring costs by 70%.

Client:

Bouygues Construction’s subsidiary, Bouygues Travaux Publics (BYTP) specializes in construction and engineering projects. Headquartered in Paris, the company works on projects in many countries around the globe and has a long-standing enduring presence in six countries apart from France.

Bouygues Travaux Publics has a proven track record in various construction projects: from tunnels and bridges to ports and railway infrastructure. Their long experience and commitment to innovation guarantee the successful delivery of even highly complex projects.

Problem Statement:

Bouygues Travaux Publics faced a significant challenge in ensuring worker safety while constructing the Trunk Road T2 and Cha Kwo Ling Tunnel Project.
