Case Study: Skanska USA boosts construction site security with Hakimo AI-powered monitoring

Skanska USA secures a 4.5-mile highway project with Hakimo's AI

Skanska USA, a leading construction company, faced significant security challenges on its large-scale I-405 infrastructure project in Bothell, WA. The massive, multi-mile site with dispersed work zones was vulnerable to theft, and traditional security guards and passive camera systems were inadequate. They needed a solution offering real-time threat detection, active deterrence, and intelligent filtering to prevent losses. To address this, Skanska turned to the vendor Hakimo and its AI-powered monitoring platform.

Hakimo implemented a system using both stationary and mobile camera units. The solution provided proactive security through AI that detects intrusions and triggers an escalation process, from automated warnings to live operator intervention. This approach transformed security on the project by effectively deterring theft and enabling a rapid, proactive response. The success has led Skanska to consider expanding the use of Hakimo's technology to other regional and potentially company-wide projects.
