Remote QC and Progress Tracking in Tilt-Up

October 23, 2026 from 1:00pm to 1:30pm Mountain Standard Time

Eohan George

While many industries operate with centralized systems that coordinate information and decision-making, concrete construction remains largely fragmented across disconnected tools and workflows. This session examines the development of an emerging “mission control” approach to concrete operations, drawing from millions of square feet of tracked work across data center and industrial tilt-up projects. Attendees will explore how remote quality control, spatially precise progress tracking, and objective productivity measurement can be integrated into a unified operational environment for superintendents and project managers. The discussion highlights how technologies such as automated data capture, scanning, and layout systems can work together within a connected platform, allowing changes in sequence or field conditions to propagate across workflows in real time. Grounded in active project deployment, the session presents a practical model for how centralized operations systems could reshape planning, execution, and field visibility in concrete construction.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand why concrete construction has historically lacked centralized operational coordination systems and how that impacts project performance.
• Evaluate how remote quality control workflows using automated scanning compare with traditional manual inspection methods.
• Assess how spatial progress tracking influences schedule management, pay application accuracy, and field decision-making.
• Identify practical first steps for implementing a mission control approach to concrete operations without disrupting existing workflows.
