TECHNOLOGY IN CONSTRUCTION RISK MANAGEMENT—
FLEET MANAGEMENT
Presented by
Chad Goodfellow
President Goodfellow Bros., Inc.
Advancements in technology provide opportunities to improve risk management processes by improving the flow of information, tracking assets, monitoring compliance with policies and procedures, and visualizing problems in advance. In this session, construction risk professionals will demonstrate applications their companies are using to reduce risk with the use of emerging technologies. Learn how contractors are using technology to improve documentation, safety, compliance, and management of subcontractors and see how these same tools might be effectively applied in your company. Each presentation will be followed by a brief question-and-answer period.

The Way It Is Now

Challenges
• Collects a vast amount of data—requires administrative resources to manage • Training is very important; we assign
one person to handle implementation (we are still not totally there yet) • Hand-helds are not durable enough to
handle some extreme applications • Cultural shift for the company • Take it slow!
Benefits to GBI
• Safety visual inspections are being completed every day
Caught broken pins in buckets, booms, and hinge pins
• Mechanics are on-site and parts are getting ordered faster
• Creates a place where equipment backlog can be stored and tracked • Operations have a direct line to
communicate deficiencies
• Operators are accountable for any damage during operation
