The work problem
The I-405 Brickyard to SR 527 improvement project site is 4.5 miles long. A construction site this large is an easy target at night for theft, vandalism and unauthorised entry.
Technology and data
Skanska brought in remote guarding together with Hakimo, a company that handles physical security with AI software. Fixed cameras and mobile cameras are placed together for round-the-clock monitoring. When the AI detects an anomaly, it raises an alert to a Skanska supervisor. On site, speakers issue a warning to the suspected intruder that they are being watched. The supervisor logs into the Hakimo portal and sees the same view in real time. Technology and people together judge whether someone entering at night is a member of staff, and the local authorities are contacted if needed.
Results
Skanska said it is one of the first companies to use Hakimo's AI security monitoring tool. Ryan Clayton, who leads the West Coast civil business, said security has become more proactive than before through mixing the several deterrents included in the Hakimo service. Construction began in 2023 and is due for completion at the end of 2028.
Limits and open questions
The source has no performance figures such as reduction in theft or false positive rate.
