A view of construction scaffolding through a 360° lens

Modern 360-degree video technology can bring new trends to the construction industry.

Scaffolding is a structure that is difficult to replace with anything on a construction site. How can a 360-degree view be useful when working with construction projects? In the long term, such videos can be used to perform many actions, from planning to inspections.

What does 360° video mean?

360-degree video allows you to get a spherical panorama of the area both inside and outside the building.

And although the technology of such video is already about 10 years old, it has not yet become widespread on construction sites.

Possibilities of 360 video at construction sites:

• Visual panorama from anywhere in the world

With the help of 360-degree video, architects and builders can inspect the construction site from their office without personally coming to the site. This opportunity allows you to save time, make decisions together, quickly respond and plan.

• Training

Training and safety training can be conducted using 360° video technology. In the initial training phase, realistic scenarios can be simulated and safety drills can be performed without having to be on site.

• Inspection and Control

Construction inspectors can monitor the situation on the construction site without having to come to the site. A 360° visual inspection allows the inspector to obtain information about the site from a computer monitor without having to visit in person, which saves a lot of time.

• Increased Marketing Efficiency

Video from the construction site can be made available to customers who want to see the real state of affairs on the site. Managers and marketers have the opportunity to get real video from the construction site to show potential buyers the development of the project online.

• Visualization of the construction site for new employees

When it is necessary to attract new personnel to the construction industry, 360° video technology can be used, which will allow future specialists to clearly show how scaffolding is assembled, work at height, and dismantling structures. This approach has its appeal, it is interesting. It will allow not only to train personnel, clearly demonstrating how certain works are performed, but also to detect whether anyone has a fear of heights.

If a company uses 360° video technology, it shows itself as innovative, focused on future development, technological.

In conclusion, it can be said that 360° video technology will definitely have an impact on scaffolding. It will contribute to the development of project planning, ensuring safety, increasing the efficiency of control and training.

Integration of 360° video technology with scaffolding will help to train new employees, carry out control, demonstrate the development of the project.
