Description
A service-learning activity is integral part of an ongoing research project to identify, explore, and minimize hazards for certain construction activities with the use of 3D models, Virtual, Augmented, or Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR) devices in case studies. Piedmont Construction Group is the community partner willing to share projects for potential hazards discovery and further exploration. This study is related to Construction Safety (TCM 2430) and BIM (TCM 5333) course concepts. Despite numerous research studies, safety guidelines and procedures there are still fatalities and serious injuries on jobsites. This endeavor seeks to find and address hazards which are properly identified through BIM implementation in VR technology. Therefore, it could potentially decline the most hazardous tasks during construction execution. Also, it provides an opportunity to better understand causes of hazards on selected construction activities and it serves the community by showing evidence toward safety hazards minimization through qualitative and quantitative inquiries.
