Technology within our industry is ever-changing, providing greater opportunities to better serve and communicate with clients, partners, and our teams. Shannon Construction continues to research and investigate new possibilities to do exactly this. Recently we invested in a product that allows our foremen and superintendents to walk their job sites and record the day-to-day progress via a hard hat attached camera. The walk can be downloaded daily, and still photos can be pulled from the video walk.

Funded in part by NASA, OpenSpace brings the latest techniques from data visualization research to the general public.

For many, the workplace is more than just one office, building, or facility. Some employees spend their entire workday on the go, out in the field, or on the road. Regardless, there is one common thing that everyone needs: an identity and an identity-based credential to gain access to the workplace.
