Tools included in the application

It is possible to carry out multiple functions using the different tools: these include:

Project Assistant:

The CAD application can be accessed in two ways:

1º. The project assistant, which will guide you with regards to the type of work, the plans necessary to define the applicable safety and, in turn, the elements to be represented for each particular plan, as shown in the image: Once a plan has been selected and the suggestions proposed have been read, a toolbar will open up, allowing us to sequentially implement the proposed safety elements in the plan.

2º. By navigating directly around the explorer tree structure of the application or using the drop-down menus, which give access to the different tools (i.e. directly accessing the element to be placed).

Project Management module

This allows us to manage and administer the different Safety Plans developed with the application for each project.

Here we can keep a project log of developments, but with the particularity that when we select a specific project, we have a list of .DWG files associated to it, and, most importantly: for each DWG file we immediately know the plans of the project.

In other words, the aim is to obtain instant information on any plan of any project, since this will be quickly displayed on screen when accessing.

This is an ideal, quick, straightforward and efficient way of controlling all the documentation of the plans related to health and safety of all the projects developed, even when they are stored on network paths.

Automatic measurements

Once the collective protections (nets, canopies, safety rails, etc), hygienic services (changing rooms, dining room, lavatories), specific individual protection equipment (lifelines, anti-fall devices, descent equipment, etc), site fencing, etc, have been implemented in the different plans, we can carry out the automatic measurement of these items.

Layout Plans

s established in the Technical Guide, we can automatically and directly obtain all the layout plans for the anchorings of these safety and protection elements:

Layout of vertical safety net bearers and layout of perimeter roping anchoring points for the attachment of the safety net.
Horizontal and vertical safety net bearer anchoring points.
Layout of the anchoring of the bearers of the canopies.
Layout of the safety rail stanchions.
Layout of anchorings for perimeter roping.
Layout of facade scaffolding anchorings, motorised or electrical motor scaffolding, etc.
Layout of anchorings and fixed points for lifelines.
etc.

However, apart from the layout plan with its respective levels (which are simultaneously positioned with the graphic representation of the element), it allows the obtaining of tacheometry reports on paper (tacheometry book), or can even generate an electronic file of layout data through a complete new generation station.

It's so easy: You generate an electronic data file to take complete to your station (Lekia, Nokia, etc...) using a disc, USB port, serial port, Bluetooth, infrared, etc. The station reads and interprets the file, automatically positions itself and the laser directly indicates on the floor the location point for the element to be laid out (bearers, stanchions, lifelines, etc...). You simply need to indicate it, and the station will continue automatically with the next point. In accordance with the type of work, this may be the most appropriate method to lay out the position of many elements on the site, as in this manner we can lay out: fencing, access to the site, ramps, signage, excavation areas, location of workshops and warehouses, location of hygiene and well-being services, location of storage areas and areas of circulation, provisional traffic diversions, etc.

Automation in the inclusion of individual protection equipment

In order to graphically represent on the plans the vertical and horizontal lines, anti-fall systems and devices, seat harnesses, etc.

Automation in the positioning of collective protection

From the different orders included in this CAD application, the positioning of all types of collective protection is automated in any of the views (elevation, horizontal section and/or profile), such as canopies, safety rails (over 15 different types), vertical safety nets, horizontal safety nets, fencing, site accesses, canopies, horizontal and/or vertical shaft protection, metal meshes, etc.

This always includes the most advanced models and the latest innovations in the catalogues as presented by manufacturers.

The collective protections are always positioned automatically at the perimeter, designating the required points, and with the possibility of being able to select simultaneous delimitation of the layout of the anchorings.

Automation in the positioning of auxiliary means

As above, the positioning of hundreds of auxiliary means is automated: European scaffolding, hanging scaffolding, suspended scaffolding, counterweight scaffolding, mobile scaffolding, tower scaffolding, ladders, shoring, studs, centerings, formwork, travelling formwork, etc.

Machinery and equipment

Including all the machinery both for building work and civil work (bridges, tunnels, railways, maritime work, etc), thus including machinery for elevation, earth movement, compacting and asphalting, public work, etc. A total of 500 machines and work equipment, fully prepared for positioning.

Workshops, warehouses, storage, etc.

Allows the location of spaces for the organisation on site of workshops and warehouses, such as workshops for steel fixing, formwork, palletised material storage, bulk material storage, etc.

Signage

Includes a variety of horizontal and vertical signs, along with provisional paintwork for public works, provisional traffic diversions, etc.

Prior operations

Allows the automated positioning of fencing, accesses to the site, lighting, provisional facilities, hygiene services, etc, totalling over 1000 orders which facilitate the implementation in the plans of collective protections, machinery and equipment, auxiliary means, etc, whilst including, logically, over 400 Health and Safety details, duly structured by subject.
