Turntable for elements – How to rotate the heavy concrete elements at construction sites? Currently it’s done by two cranes, which ties up valuable crane time. Using a turntable will allow reorientation of concrete elements with weight of 10 000 kg even at sites where there is limited crane capacity. Goal is to have a safe and mobile tool that could be delivered to construction sites in need. Our team is creating a 1:1 scale prototype of the turntable for testing in action.

“Systems do not simplify the results; systems simplify the process of getting there.”
Team Sauron’s Eye has set out to achieve just this. Our scalable and powerful monitoring system, which includes automated drone scanning, makes use of the tower crane’s privileged point of view. Workers use this data to track construction materials and enhance communication, improving site safety and efficiency.

Human errors are the main cause of tower crane accidents, which could be easily avoided by automation. However, developing automation systems is time-consuming and can be tedious financially, not to mention that arranging to test in real sites can be really complicated. Our team is creating a realistic scale model of a construction site with cranes that work much as the real ones do. By using this model, it will be possible to test the newly created automation systems safely, quickly and cost-effectively making construction sites a much safer place.
