ACCIONA has unveiled Atlas, an innovative digital platform designed to make construction projects significantly safer while also enhancing efficiency and sustainability. The system is part of the company’s commitment to driving smarter and more resilient infrastructure in line with regional development and sustainability goals.
At the core of Atlas is a suite of real-time monitoring and control tools that help reduce risks on construction sites. Key safety features include continuous air quality monitoring to detect harmful emissions, emergency alert systems that allow for immediate response to incidents, video surveillance to ensure safer working environments, and worker location tracking to improve evacuation procedures and prevent accidents in restricted areas.
Beyond direct safety measures, Atlas supports safer project delivery by integrating tunnel boring machine data, geotechnical monitoring, concrete traceability, and earthwork production tracking. These functions allow for earlier detection of potential hazards and ensure that quality standards are consistently met. By consolidating these capabilities into one platform, project managers gain greater visibility and control, reducing the likelihood of accidents while ensuring compliance with strict safety regulations.
The platform is modular and scalable, meaning it can be tailored to the specific needs of projects ranging from tunnels and railways to ports, highways, and buildings. In addition to safety, Atlas incorporates environmental monitoring tools that align with sustainability agendas such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategy. These features help track environmental impact, manage inventories and maintenance digitally, and ensure safer and more sustainable operations.
Atlas has already proven its value in international projects. In the United States, it is deployed on the Fargo-Moorhead Flood Diversion project, where it supports decarbonisation efforts alongside operational safety. In Brazil’s São Paulo Metro Line 6, Atlas enhances tunnel boring machine and instrumentation monitoring, while in Chile and Poland it has been applied to optimise asset tracking and strengthen safety systems in complex projects.
By introducing Atlas to the Middle East, ACCIONA aims to accelerate the region’s digital transformation in construction while raising the bar for workplace safety. The platform offers project owners and contractors the tools to create safer working environments, improve incident response, and deliver infrastructure that is not only efficient and sustainable but also built with worker safety at its core.
