We’ll keep this short … our P-Tn ProgressWEBCAM Systems are not just for commercial or residential building projects.  The site access via internet connections is valuable for all types of construction & engineering work, and that does go for capturing images for a Time-Lapse Video, too.  This project involves installation of site infrastructure prior to commencement of the conventional project.  There is a challenge to such a logistical situation - the lack of a ‘good’ location to install a ...

Every P-Tn TIME-LAPSE VIDEO we create is unique, and most are fascinating to watch.  Seeing hours or days/weeks /months of work come together in less than a minute is always interesting to watch, whether you are the team that constructed the project or the owner of the now completed job.  On occasion we have the opportunity document an out of the ordinary construction project.  For the Time-Lapse we’re sharing here, the objective was to show the overnight installation of the main girder sections ...

P-Tn has been providing clients with WEBCAM Site Monitoring for decades.  We have been deploying our ProgressWEBCAMS on solar powered trailers in recent years when reliable AC power was not readily available on-site.  This has become the preferred method of utilizing our Site Monitoring & Security Systems for many of our clients, and we have been improving the design & capabilities of our Solar Trailer units as we grow.  Ultimately, this has brought us to a point of designing and ...

The Rock Island Bridge over the Kansas River has been operating at full scale for some time now.  As we focus on P-Tn’s ProgressWEBCAM Systems and Time-Lapse Videos, we’d like to share our completed view of the overall bridge throughout construction, plus some final photographs.  P-Tn provided webcams on this project for both the Primary Contractor, L.G. Barcus & Sons, and the Owner.  The cameras delivered site activity monitoring and limited security views, as well as capturing images for ... Read More about ROCK ISLAND BRIDGE

We have been creating P-Tn Time-Lapse Videos for quite a long time.  And we’ve collected quite a selection of them, from commercial construction projects like process plants and office buildings, residential home builds, pipelines, grading projects, interior finishes, demolitions, and more.  Our clients use these primarily for marketing, sharing their work through social media platforms, website posting, in-office flatscreen displays, and providing links in emails and presentations.  They are ...

This project may be familiar when you see the end … as we have shared ProgressWEBCAM images, a ground-based VIDEO Time-Lapse, final photography of the finished home, and exterior views of this residential project built by CATALYST CONSTRUCTION’s Partners, Travis Brungardt & Joe Cook.  However, this P-Tn video illustrates the scope of the project in a few critical milestones captured through periodic Drone Aerial Imagery of the construction progress! For Catalyst and other clients, we ... Read More about VARIATIONS on P-Tn VIDEO Time-Lapse

MORE “CATACOMBS”!  We’ve discussed the unusual places that our P-Tn field photographers / videographers visit during our daily work when documenting PRE-Construction (and POST-Construction) conditions on project sites.  In this situation we’re looking into the condition of what’s UNDER your project site – commercial building basements.  No speculation or engineering analysis – just a thorough PHOTO and/or VIDEO record of the spaces in, and especially below, the buildings where construction work ...

We DO NOT shoot close-ups like this for Pre-Construction Documentation PHOTOS!  But this does illustrate how we are protecting our clients from wrongful accusation.  Whether you are replacing the asphalt street surface or replacing the curb & gutter … there is damage in both areas and you do not want to have to repair the ‘other’ area.  P-Tn Visual Documentation will record the ‘other’ damage existing before you did your scope of work, verifying it was not YOU that caused the damage.  Save ...

Over the last several months, we’ve been sharing some photos of our next generation of our WEBCAM Solar Trailers during the fabrication process.  A number of these newly designed and improved units are now in-the-field powering our P-Tn ProgressWEBCAM Systems on construction project sites throughout the Midwest.  We will be presenting our new WHITE Trailer series in July and August here in our e-NEWS, as well as our social media platforms … so keep watching, or call right now if you’re in ...

This feature calls for little introduction & explanation. Turner High School Building Trades Class is preparing to build ANOTHER residence! Here’s a look at the site before the surveyors arrive to layout the foundation for excavation. This will be the THIRD project of this type that we have been involved with, providing installation & maintenance of a P-Tn ProgressWEBCAM for on-site construction monitoring, security, and public access of student and contractor activity for the duration ...

Frankly, BOTH!  All the process plant contractors P-Tn has worked with over the decades will recall some treatment plant pipe cases like this; you’ve likely spent more than your share of time in them.  Our photographers have, too!  We have the experience & tools (both PHOTO & VIDEO) to document existing conditions in unusual spaces like these … before / during / after completion of construction improvements or equipment installations.  Not always ‘fun’ work, but always unique.  This is ...
