SPEAKERS
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• Introduction
• The Impact of Big Data in EHS in
Construction
• Risk Management Issues
• Technology
• Questions and Answers
AGENDA
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• US Construction projected to be $946 Billion in 2014• Construction is disruptive, dirty, unpopular and potentially
hazardous• Exposures - What was previously anecdotal is now
quantifiable!• How does that change the Risk Management strategies?
CONSTRUCTION

BIG EHS DATA IN A BOX
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
Innovation, Innovation, Innovation
1. Detectors, Sensors and Bundling
2. Field Computers
3. Wireless Communication
4. Database Processing
5. User Interfaces and Visualization
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• Noise• Vibration• Dust, Particulates, and
Aerosols • Fumes• Vapors and Gases• Radiation – Ionizing
and Non Ionizing
CONSTRUCTION EXPOSURES AND HAZARDS
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
1. Particulates and Aerosols2. Vapors and Gases (TVOC)3. Real-time Chemical Screening with Automated Sampling 4. Reduced Sulfur and Hydrogen Sulfide – Odor Quantification5. Weather and Wind Speed and Direction 6. Noise (AUDIO clip)7. Vibration8. Optical sensors9. Video
BIG DATA OPTIONS AT CONSTRUCTION SITES
2013-2018 – New NY Bridge Construction• $4 Billion 5 Year bridge construction project• Much public pressure – locally very unpopular• Real-time Monitoring promised, mandated and deployed

Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
To Gain Support - Environmental Monitoring was Promised:
Up to12 stations conducting real-time monitoring: Dust (PM 2.5, 10 and Total), Noise and Vibration Wind Speed and Direction
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
Dust, Noise and Vibration Readings 24x7x52x5
43,680 hours x 12 stations 524,160 hours of sampling
results anticipated Data every 15 seconds =
Millions of sampling points
5 YEARS OF BIG DATA
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• $100 MM construction of office building on urban Brownfield site
• 10th Brownfield Construction Project
• 8 Stations -18 months – Dust, Noise and Vibration 24/7
RISK MANAGEMENT CASE
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• How will this be different than the other 9 projects?
• Who will get access to this data?
• Will it change how we perform the construction?
• Will it add cost to the project?
• What are the consequences to generating all this data?
RISK MANAGER ASKS:
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• There is a high probability of exceedances
• Exceedances may not be related to construction
• There will be a need for more resources to handle the real-time flow of data and to be able to respond
• There may be significant consequences from bad results
• There will be much data • It will be a different project than
the other 9..
EHS MANAGER SUMMARIZES:
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
1. Optimize Controls and Work Practices to improve conditions
2. Defend Spurious Claims3. Measure projects contribution
to real claims4. Support claims that are not
legitimate5. Create concerns that are not
real
RISK MANAGEMENT IMPACTS: HOW THIS DATA IS USED
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• Landfill reopened after 35 years to support solar farm
• Hundreds of trucks with demolition/construction debris
• Odors begin immediately in late 2012
UNCONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION

RESULTS
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• Thousands of notifications >30 ppb sent to hundreds of people 24/7
• Successful legal challenge to stop landfill activities• Regulators accelerate implementation of permanent remedy• Legislation passed in 60 days and the State has taken over
the site• Projected $60 MM remedy will be paid by the State’s
Insurance
OUTCOMES
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
• It’s all about the data
• Technology no longer limits the
information that is available….
• What data do we need and want?
• Need to re-interpret the results!

BIG DATA IN EHS BEYOND CONSTRUCTION
Recording of this session via any media type is strictly prohibited.
1. Big Data is being used today in measuring Environmental (EHS) Performance in Construction
2. This data can be used to better manage and optimize performance and reduce risk if these tools are understood and utilized correctly
3. Construction Operations and Management must embrace this fact and make changes to integrate this data in how they make day to day decisions
4. Ultimately big EHS data can be your best friend in construction but the journey requires using this data to realign priorities and make appropriate sustainable changes
