Introduction: Designing for Safety from the Start
At OAR, we believe construction site safety begins well before boots hit the ground. It starts with data—accurate, detailed, and immediately actionable. Our reality capture solutions are engineered to support one of the construction industry’s most essential priorities: building safer jobsites through better planning.
How Reality Capture Enhances Construction Safety
Traditional safety assessments often rely on 2D documentation and manual site walkthroughs. But in fast-moving, high-stakes environments, that approach can fall short.
- Laser Scanning
- Drone Surveys
- Robotics
These tools allow project teams to proactively identify hazards and implement safety strategies—long before fieldwork begins.
Enabling 3D Egress Planning That Saves Lives
Evacuation plans must be precise, intuitive, and responsive to complex environments. OAR empowers teams to generate 3D egress plans that:
- Visualize primary and secondary exit routes
- Navigate multi-level structures with clarity
- Anticipate pinch points or obstructions
Documenting Critical Safety Assets with Digital Twins
Our as-built 3D models and digital twins help document:
- Fire extinguishers
- First aid kits
- Eyewash stations
- Spill containment systems
This spatial data is embedded within the digital environment, giving safety leaders instant visibility and streamlined access to crucial resources.
Conducting Virtual Walkthroughs to Identify Hazards Early
Our digital twins allow safety teams to conduct remote site walkthroughs before stepping on-site. This approach helps identify and address risks such as:
- Unguarded edges or elevated work platforms
- Confined spaces or ventilation concerns
- Low-clearance mechanical or MEP obstructions
It’s a smarter, safer way to plan—reducing surprises and increasing preparedness.
Minimizing Risk Through Drone and Robotic Scanning
Certain inspections come with unavoidable risk—heights, tight access zones, or active operations. OAR reduces exposure by deploying drone and robotic technologies to:
Perform aerial inspections of roofs and structures
- Capture interior data from hard-to-access areas
- Collect high-quality information while keeping teams on the ground
This reduces risk and enhances both speed and precision.
Partnering with Safety-First Leaders
We’re honored to work with clients who lead by example. Organizations like Waste Management uphold rigorous safety protocols—and we proudly meet their standards. During field engagements, OAR team members:
- Adhere to all PPE requirements
- Complete client-specific safety training
- Align fully with operational expectations
These practices strengthen trust and collaboration across every project.
Advancing Industry Standards with ABC
OAR Scanning is proud to support the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) in advancing a culture of safety. ABC’s commitment to education, performance metrics, and innovation mirrors our own. By integrating rich data models and digital tools, we help drive higher safety standards industry-wide.
Leading with Safety, Powered by Innovation
Reality capture isn’t just a technical service—it’s a foundation for safer, smarter construction. At OAR, we’re committed to accelerating America’s infrastructure with safety at the core. Every scan, every model, every project we deliver is designed to protect the people who build our future.
