Civil Construction

In industries such as civil construction, building, and concrete, safety is of paramount importance. These sectors involve working with heavy machinery, materials, on complex sites, where accidents can occur due to blind spots, inadequate safety measures, and human error. Managing these risks is essential, especially when worker and equipment safety are directly linked to project timelines, productivity, and regulatory compliance.

For these industries, preventing accidents, reducing downtime, and enhancing overall site safety are critical. Many operations experience difficulties managing blind spots, ensuring proper driver behaviour, and maintaining consistent safety protocols. These challenges can lead to costly mistakes, injuries, and even fatalities if not properly addressed.

MAX-SAFE provides a comprehensive suite of safety solutions suited for civil construction, building, and concrete industries. From blind spot detection, advanced braking systems, to telematics and driver behaviour monitoring, our solutions help organisations not only meet safety standards but also safeguard their teams and equipment, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted operations.

Concrete

Concrete production and delivery involve operating large, heavy vehicles in challenging environments. MAX-SAFE advanced safety solutions reduce the risk of accidents and improve operational control. Our driver behaviour monitoring systems help prevent fatigue-related incidents, while blind spot detection systems enhance safety for both drivers and workers. With real-time data on vehicle performance and safety, fleet managers can take proactive measures to reduce downtime and ensure smooth, efficient operations, without compromising safety.

Relevant Products for Civil Construction, Building, and Concrete

The MAX-SAFE Anti-Rollaway Brake System™ ensures that vehicles do not roll away unexpectedly, which is a major safety risk in construction and building sites. This system automatically applies the park brake if it is not properly engaged, preventing rollaway accidents that can lead to injuries or equipment damage.

This technology is especially useful for industries where vehicles are frequently parked on uneven terrain or where multiple stops are required, such as in concrete delivery. By preventing rollaway incidents, the MAX-SAFE Anti-Rollaway Brake System™ enhances safety for workers and equipment operators alike.

Heavy vehicles in construction, building, and concrete industries often have significant blind spots, creating hazards for both drivers and nearby workers. The MAX-SAFE Protect 360 AI and MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch™ systems help eliminate these risks by detecting people, vehicles, and obstacles within the driver’s blind spots.

With 360-degree coverage and AI-powered camera technology, this system offers both visual and audible alerts, ensuring drivers are always aware of their surroundings. By reducing blind spot accidents, companies can improve site safety and protect workers and equipment from harm.

The MAX-SAFE Vision Systems provide drivers with full visibility of their surroundings, eliminating blind spots and reducing the likelihood of incidents. This solution assists drivers during turning, reversing, and low-speed manoeuvres, providing real-time alerts on any potential dangers.

MAX-SAFE Vision is ideal for the civil construction, building, and concrete industries, where vehicles often operate in tight spaces or complex environments. By capturing and processing images of the vehicle’s surroundings, the system provides drivers with an extra set of "eyes" to ensure they are fully aware of obstacles and vulnerable road users. This technology not only prevents accidents but also ensures compliance with safety regulations in high-risk environments.

In busy civil construction environments, protecting vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, and site workers is critical. The MAX-SAFE VRU Protection systems significantly reduce the risk of collisions by using advanced radar and AI-powered cameras to detect and alert drivers to potential hazards.

Designed specifically for heavy construction vehicles, these systems provide real-time visual and audible alerts when vulnerable road users are nearby, ensuring drivers have ample warning to respond safely. By preventing accidents and enhancing situational awareness, MAX-SAFE VRU Protection systems help construction companies maintain safer work sites, protect their workforce, and comply with critical safety standards such as CLOCS-A.

"There is a big need for MAX-SAFE products in New Zealand. You only hear about a roll away when there is a crash, but the number is far greater than what is reported. Recently, there was a tour bus in Auckland that rolled away and ran over a Mum and a baby. Both survived luckily, but if the bus had the MAX-SAFE device fitted this accident never would have occurred."
