Singapore-based viAct and Dubai-headquartered contractor Alliad say an AI video-analytics deployment at a remote healthcare construction project in Côte d’Ivoire reduced recorded personal-protective-equipment non-compliance and danger-zone violations over its first three months.
According to viAct’s case study, the system was deployed across Alliad’s existing camera network rather than requiring additional cameras. The companies report a 41.7 percent reduction in PPE non-compliances and a 46.3 percent reduction in danger-zone violations during the period.
Existing cameras become the monitoring layer
The project uses computer vision to monitor helmets, safety vests, safety shoes and gloves, along with access to restricted or hazardous areas and potential fire or smoke conditions.
Alerts and a dashboard give the site team a continuous view of events that previously depended more heavily on periodic observation. viAct said fire and smoke monitoring ran across connected cameras from the start of the deployment.
Mounir Ziani, Head of QHSE for Alliad’s Engineering & Construction Division, said the system added another layer of real-time monitoring that helped the team identify potential compliance issues sooner.
Remote site tests deployment model
The healthcare project is in a remote area with limited fixed telecommunications infrastructure. That made reuse of the existing camera setup part of the deployment case, according to the companies.
viAct positions the pilot as a model that could be replicated across other Alliad projects without rebuilding the monitoring stack from scratch. The company has not disclosed the size of the deployment, baseline violation counts, camera count or an independent audit of the reported percentage reductions.
The case adds another example of computer vision moving from security-camera use toward operational monitoring. For construction operators, the practical test is whether automated alerts improve intervention and documentation without generating enough false positives to overwhelm site teams.
