What the system must respect, how the data boundary is agreed, and the seven-phase route to scale.
INTERNATIONAL + DUBAI BENCHMARKWHAT THE SYSTEM MUST SUPPORT
Existing safety and information controls stay in charge.
The technology strengthens inspection and evidence. It does not replace the consultant, contractor duties or statutory approval.
“The top four causes of construction fatalities are falls, struck-by, caught-in/between and electrocutions.”OSHA Construction Hazards Quick Card
DOCUMENTED INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONTHE TECHNOLOGY FAMILY IS ALREADY IN USE
Leading contractors deploy the same building blocks.
Their pattern is consistent: capture the site, compare it with project information, assign the finding and keep the evidence.
“This technology helps improve safety and quality of project delivery by providing real-time data and analysis to project teams.”Mike Lewis, Bechtel · official UAS announcement
DATA SECURITY · GOVERNANCE · PILOT GATETRUST IS A DESIGN DECISION
The data boundary is agreed before connection.
Saffarini approves where project data sits, who may access it, which services may process it and how long records remain.
Named users, defined roles and least-privilege access.
Only approved folders, models and records enter the pilot boundary.
The selected deployment and model provider require security and legal approval.
Sources, agent output, human decisions and changes remain traceable.
