Construction Time Lapse for Infrastructure Projects

Infrastructure projects are often large, complex and delivered over extended periods.

Road upgrades, bridges, transport infrastructure, utilities and major civil projects can involve hundreds of workers, numerous contractors and constantly changing work zones.

That makes visual documentation particularly valuable.

Construction time lapse for infrastructure projects provides a consistent way to record the transformation of a site from the early stages through to completion.

Capture Progress Over Months or Years

Infrastructure projects often take much longer than smaller construction developments.

Traditional photography may capture individual milestones, but it can be difficult to understand the overall progression of a project from isolated photographs.

A strategically positioned time lapse camera creates a continuous visual record.

The result can show:

• Site preparation
• Excavation
• Earthworks
• Structural installation
• Road construction
• Bridge construction
• Landscaping
• Final completion

Improve Stakeholder Communication

Large infrastructure projects can involve government departments, contractors, engineers, consultants, local communities and other stakeholders.

Not everyone can visit the site regularly.

Remote access to construction imagery provides stakeholders with an easy way to see what is happening without requiring another physical site visit.

The MotionLapse platform provides remote access to project imagery and tools for comparing progress over time.

Create Better Project Reporting

Visual information can complement written project reports.

Instead of relying entirely on written descriptions, project teams can use dated photographs and time lapse sequences to demonstrate progress.

This can make presentations and stakeholder meetings much more engaging.

Combine Ground and Aerial Views

Infrastructure projects can cover large areas, making a single fixed camera viewpoint insufficient.

This is where aerial photography becomes valuable.

Droneworxs Aerial Photography provides professional aerial photography and videography that can complement ground-based construction documentation.

A combination of fixed cameras, ground photography and drone imagery can provide a much broader understanding of the project.

Build a Valuable Historical Record

Once construction is finished, the footage doesn’t become irrelevant.

Completed time lapse footage can be used for:

• Project presentations
• Marketing
• Tender documentation
• Corporate communications
• Training
• Historical records
• Stakeholder presentations

The finished video can tell the complete story of a complex infrastructure project in a way that ordinary photographs cannot.
