Abstract: The technology for remote quality inspection system for construction projects like intergrated video ,
communication network and software integration technology, has achieved the text image data collection,
remote experts quality inspection and improve the construction project management quality and efficiency,
which has a good development prospect.
1 OVERVIEW
With the rapid development of Internet technology,
the revolution of network and digital is very huge.
Most people think that the traditional construction is
changing because of this. Construction project Video
monitoring，shown as Figure 1, system has always
been a hot spot of application IT technology of
construction projects. Since it has the features like
mature technology, simple implementation, less
investment, obvious benefit and simple operation, it
has been used frequently by construction unit,
project contracting units in the recent years.
Figure 1: Construction project Video monitoring system.
However, in recent years, There are many big
projects like high-speed railways, airport expansion,
urban rail transit. And there are also many high-rise
building, like Shanghai center, the Beijing
international. This requires a rather high quality of
the construction project and the project management.
The construction unit is no longer satisfied with the
traditional monitoring of the construction in
progress. There are some problems need to be solved
like how to solve the problems that the quality
acceptance of long-rage and remain the acceptance
fact during construction, how to use IT integration
technology to bring more convenience for
construction unit and improve traditional project
management model, how to make a deeper use of
video monitoring, communication network to meet
the higher demand of project construction.
Construction project quality inspection system is a
breakthrough of the technology and application in
this area. This paper will introduce the following
three respects: basic structure of remote quality
inspection system for construction projects,
characteristics and advantages, and the use situation.
2 THE BASIC COMPONENT OF
SYSTEM
Construction project quality inspection system use
remote video to offer the information of project
progress and remote coordination. We can upload
pictures and sounds of construction site to Internet,
to achieve image effects like in the real construction
site.
Use video voice communication client software
to achieve remote quality inspection of construction
projects. We can display and storage the image of
acceptation site, which is an important basis for
inspection of the project quality.

Figure 2: Basic component of system.
Construction project quality inspection system（
Figure 2） is mainly composed by the remote video
remote monitoring and acquisition subsystem,
network transmission subsystems, JPG file
management subsystem, the inspection statement
subsystem, multimedia interactive subsystem,
knowledge center subsystem and file management
tool, which is integrated applications of video
technology, network technology and software
system.
2.1 Remote Monitoring and Video
Acquisition Subsystem
Remote monitoring and video acquisition subsystem
is the video data sources of the whole system, and is
also the network and hardware parts. This subsystem
record the video of construction site and transfer it to
the remote management system. This subsystem has
functions of video collection, transmission
management, application storage, remote access
management, quality checking application.
2.2 Network Transmission Subsystems
The network architecture design specification
according follows IEEE802.11 / IEEE802.3. It's
network architecture combines wireless network
with cable network, and use seamless natural
roaming transition. Cable network composition
high-speed information exchange network while
wireless network extension data exchange space.
2.3 Drawings Files Management
Subsystem
We can achieve electronic drawings input,
management, and the integration of the whole
acceptance system through this system. We can
recall the corresponding drawings as the basis of
reference and inspection record anytime when
remote accept.
2.4 Quality Inspection Report
Subsystem
Quality inspection report subsystem is used to deal
with corresponding inspection reports, to achieve
maintenance and maintenance of reports, and the
interact with the whole system and other subsystems.
This subsystem obeys corresponding laws and
standard regulations, and can be customized by
enterprise, to meet different demands.
2.5 Multimedia Interactive Subsystem
During the quality acceptance, acceptance center

staff and site person can communicate in real time.
Which can improve efficiency of quality inspection
and accuracy of inspection parts. When remote
inspection, we can also achieve management,
communication, command and resolve technical,
knotty, accidents, management problems with
remote experts and leaders on the Internet.
2.6 Knowledge Center Subsystem
This subsystem collects the corresponding rules and
standard and so on, which offers knowledge support
for acceptance.
3 NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
DESIGN
This system uses network architecture of cable and
wireless, which makes the system has high speed
and flexible. The design of network architecture
should consider the network design of project
principal part, project quality inspection indoor
network layout and network integration connection
parts.
3.1 Engineering Subject Network
Corenetwork uses cable network, which vertical
breakthrough of each floor of engineering subject.
Floor branch networks use local wireless network to
ensure network transmission of information.
3.2 Project Quality Inspection Indoor
Network
Project quality inspection indoor network uses cable
LAN architecture, focus on the interaction of quality
inspection management system and inspection staff.
There are high-powered network switches and server
equipment in indoor LAN, to ensure the efficient
operation of video inspection system operation.
3.3 Network Integration
Cable networks are divided into main network of
engineering subject, local area network of quality
inspection department, shown as Figure 3.
Wireless networks are divided into connection
between fixed an movable points and sub-nodes
within the floor and connection between engineering
subject and the quality inspection department.
4 SYSTEM APPLICATION
INTEGRATION AND
INTERFACE DESIGN
System master control interface is divided into five
parts, video display and control, information file,
drawing information, the main display area and the
function calls, shown as Figure 4. The size of
information file, drawing information and the main
display image regions can be altered or hidden.
The function interface of the software can be
adjusted and changed.

5 CONCLUSIONS
Remote quality inspection system for construction
projects can achieve remote monitoring, camera and
video. And achieve the remote quality inspection
when inspectors cannot get to the construction site.
It integrates quality inspection material filled,
electronic drawing files management, remote
monitoring and management in one platform. In the
following development of remote quality inspection
system for construction projects, the problems of
equipment miniaturization, reducing equipment
weight, lifting equipment portability and inspection
scheduling aspects should be focused, to get better
effect.
