Water Project Construction
Water project owners demand more security, safety, risk control and data from the jobsite. Our digital check-ins meet water project construction general requirements affordably, are easy to implement, and cut field ops labor costs for more winning bids.
Water project construction managers today must navigate both budget and labor shortfalls. Staff shortages cannot be allowed to risk water quality safety. Access control & screening of arriving construction workers along with employees, subcontractors, vendors and visitors is essential.
QR codes means the end of everyday screening by a superintendent or receptionist. Also means the end of paper record keeping, transcription and filing.
Now, every type of worker or visitor can be screened, onboarded and directed to their proper location and supervisor. Regular workers can receive digital badges for fast repeat check in. Badges can include photos and information that will assure operations staff that the facility is safe and secure.
Converting water project jobsite management to digital elevates security, safety and compliance. But it also reduces overhead and administration costs which raises productivity and profit.
Water project owners can now know who is or was onsite, now or in the past, how they were security screened, and whether projects are on schedule. And if a health, security or other kind of incident occurs, such data is essential for resolving the situation fast.
Benefits of Construction Jobsite Management for Water Districts and Their Contractors
Construction is experiencing a generational shortage of skilled labor. The Covid pandemic, early retirements, inadequate recruitment, skills training and immigration restrictions have all constrained labor supply.
Workforce development can take years, and immigration reform perhaps never. But automation via technology can happen today.
Automating routine tasks that can be easily performed self-service using mobile consumer technology makes total business sense. Skilled resources should only be employed for higher value tasks. And digital automation creates new data sources that can be used to run a better business.
Water utilities also have a unique set of security challenges
Water quality safety and security are paramount. Access to certain areas will be limited by visitor type. Some areas are only for staff, others for contractors, their subcontractors, visitors and vendors.
Automating jobsite access recordkeeping is only one benefit. States and localities have increasing adopted additional regulations for utilities with major compliance recordkeeping impacts. These often include emergency action plans, public labor agreements, and background screening requirements for any worker coming onto the jobsite.
Because Safe Site Check In is digital, arrival and attendance data is immediately permanently stored in the cloud, encrypted and secured. Daily logs go online, eliminating paper, data entry and filing, saving not only labor costs, but physical space costs as well.
And with our new onboarding and QR badging, workers and frequent visitors can check-in faster and easier than ever.

Water Project Jobsite Management Reduces Risks and Saves Money
All water project owners, construction and facility managers strive to provide a safe, secure, and productive environment. It’s essential to their mission and built into their contractual general requirements and conditions.
These are some of the ways Safe Site Check In can streamline water project jobsite operations:
- Reception – Staff, contractors, subcontractors and vendors experience less waiting.
- Visibility – Owners and managers now have a real-time view of all arrivals and their identity and reason for visiting.
- Security – Maintain the confidentiality of all construction worker, staff and visitor records and protect from unwanted access.
- Safety – Ensure that each worker and visitor gets the necessary safety screening and training.
- Productivity – Shift your jobsite management workload to higher value tasks and limit interruptions to only those needing immediate help.
Safe Site Check In – How it Works
Workers and visitors check in by scanning a facility-specific QR code poster using any smartphone. There is also a Kiosk (tablet) mode version for visitors without a smart phone. Once scanned, first time arrivals identify themselves by name, email and phone number. Repeat workers can be onboarded, trained and provided a QR badge for easy, fast repeat check in. Badges can exist just on a phone, or printed with photos & other data.
New and repeat arrivals answer the questions you customize for your facility’s specific needs. Selected responses result in supervisor alerts (e.g., possible disease exposure, or a subcontractor or delivery arrival). First time visitors can be presented with a liability waiver or safety training video. A successful check in results in a unique green QR confirmation code.
Water project managers can also alert workers to jobsite conditions important for their safety, such as weather conditions, new seasonal disease protocols like the flu, construction risks such as open walls or floors, or reminders about using personal protection equipment (PPE).
Questions and answers are permanently cloud stored for compliance reporting or claims handling. GPS verification makes sure everyone is checking in at the physical location where they should be.
Workers can also create their own password protected Profile containing data critical for managing your workforce. Profiles contain their certifications, licenses, work permits, training data, vaccination status. And safety data sheets are accessible by anyone onsite from within the app.
