Mastering Public Construction Projects: Communication, Collaboration, and Camera Strategies
Public construction projects like roads, bridges, and highways are essential but complex. Between years-long planning, public negotiations, and unpredictable conditions, these projects require strategic oversight.
City Construction Manager Gary Mohler of Modesto, California, experienced firsthand how construction cameras streamlined visibility. “People can be a hundred miles away but still need to monitor progress,” he shared. Across the nation, Brasfield & Gorrie’s Kevin Kane echoed this sentiment, noting that “OxBlue cameras ensured safe pedestrian and traffic flow during a public highway project.”
