Digital Transformation of Construction Projects with an Advanced Agile Tool for Deformation Risk Management

10 pages•Published: July 23, 2025

Abstract

The Agile Monitoring Tool (AMT), integrated within the Smart Infinity Dimensions (S∞D) modeling platform as part of the Digital Transformation Project Management Platform, enhances safety and efficiency in large-scale construction projects by combining agile risk management with structural health monitoring (SHM). Traditional SHM systems monitor structural changes but often lack agile risk management, safety measures, and preventative safety alert functions. AMT addresses this gap by embedding agile risk management and real-time alerts, notifying key stakeholders to support informed decision-making. Through a five-stage process—identifying risks, notifying stakeholders, coordinating teams, allocating resources, and managing data—the AMT provides construction teams with actionable insights, potentially preventing up to 70% of onsite accidents by addressing risks proactively. While pilot testing indicates substantial accident prevention capabilities, further validation across diverse construction projects is necessary. Developed from six Calgary-based projects, the AMT leverages IoT-enabled Real-Time Monitoring and 3D modeling within the S∞D platform to monitor and optimize resource allocation, reduce energy consumption, and minimize waste and rework costs. Pilot testing highlights AMT’s effectiveness as a scalable, cost-efficient tool for high-stakes construction projects requiring rigorous safety management.
