As pressure increases on the infrastructure industry to increase productivity at pace with other sectors, Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are ramping up their use of jobsite cameras to monitor their projects, improve safety, and prevent cost-overruns.
Construction cameras can serve multiple purposes for documentation and security, and live-streaming views of projects can be shared with stakeholders and with the public. Over decades, EarthCam has built expertise in supporting DOTs with camera solutions for thousands of projects, delivering crucial on-site service and support. Recently, EarthCam announced a partnership with Infotech, a 44-year veteran infrastructure software provider, to deliver critical visual data directly into DOTs workflow, streamlining the ability to use visual data in project management.
When building the Longmeadow Parkway Bridge, Kane County DOT in Illinois entrusted EarthCam with their visual information. Steve Coffinbargar, Kane County’s Assistant Director of Transportation - Project Implementation, relied on EarthCam technology every day during the construction of the 5.6-mile bridge. "I enjoyed seeing the daily progress through the website link and I believe the public and our elected officials did too,” Coffinbargar said. “It was nice to make our board members aware that the camera was out there and the info and technology was available for them to check it out whenever they wanted to."
