Data collection in infrastructure projects: How digital checklists improve transparency, security and process compliance

Large infrastructure projects such as the 5G network expansion have one thing in common: they consist of hundreds of construction and testing measures that are scattered across the country. How is it possible to establish comprehensive quality management and central project controlling with little effort? Digital checklists and project management are useful tools here.

It usually takes one to two years for a new cell phone site to go online. It is much faster to expand a location, but – one way or another – the central project management oversees and controls hundreds, if not thousands, of smaller and larger construction projects in parallel. Depending on the location, trade or antenna technology, a wide variety of requirements have to be taken into account – from municipal building law to the topography of the location to the question of how much data traffic should ultimately run via the cell phone mast.

Exact site preparation

Switzerland is currently the leader in expanding its 5G networks. An application may play a role here in which digital checklists speed up project processes: The intelligent forms, which can be filled out both online and offline on any mobile device, support those responsible for the site in preparing the construction projects. During the on-site inspection, they carry out a thorough analysis of the circumstances and document all the details precisely with the help of the digital checklists, in which they can even integrate photos for illustration.

The digital checklists react dynamically to entries and branch into various subsequent processes, as the following example shows: If the new 5G antennas are to be installed on a building, for example, you will be asked whether it is a flat or gabled roof. Can you stand on the gabled roof? No. How many skylights are there? Is a crane with a pallet truck required? Yes. Can this be in front of the house? And so forth… According to this principle, the location data is recorded completely digitally.

Route and construction site inspections with photo documentation

Track and construction site inspections are also carried out in Switzerland with the help of digital checklists. Those responsible for quality check on site at regular intervals whether the respective trade has been carried out properly by the contractor and whether the construction phase has been completed correctly. Any deficiencies are documented by photos and integrated into the checklist. In this way, central quality management ensures that all steps are carried out properly and errors are avoided. Those responsible always know about the planned implementation of the overall project and can react quickly to problems. Nothing goes down.

Transparency, security and process compliance

If the data for the site preparation and the route and construction site inspection is recorded digitally from the start, this ensures a high degree of transparency, speed and process reliability: No task is forgotten and the field information collected is automatically synchronized with the central project database. They can then be read out immediately and used for building project-specific and cross-building project evaluations and reports. The data is quickly available centrally and can be used for subsequent project steps: for example, the above-mentioned crane with pallet truck can be ordered and the official road closure for the day in question can be requested. Necessary safety precautions can be taken in good time, which increases the safety of everyone involved.
