In 2016, Skanska partnered with Newmetrix (formerly Smartvid.io) to improve its use of photos and videos in its safety program. By so doing, Skanska has demonstrated how it can extend the reach of its safety program by using video as well as advanced image analytics. And, since Newmetrix integrates direct to Autodesk’s BIM 360, implementation and rollout proved extremely easy to manage. 

In this case study, you’ll see how Skanska:

  • Integrates Newmetrix and BIM 360, as well as other data sources, to aggregate and analyze all of its photos and videos on projects 
  • Uses Newmetrix's speech and image recognition technology to detect safety hazards that an experienced safety manager would typically find
  • Captures, organizes, and uses video examples of best practices and possible hazards 
  • Enables analysis of patterns and trends in safety observations across projects
