According to Forbes.com, the top 10 American cities with the most construction include New York City, Dallas, Houston, Washington DC, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and Atlanta. All of these cities have unique construction laws set by different civic institutions. For example, in New York City the Department of Buildings can make or break a contract. With thousands of construction projects happening at any moment, there is also citywide risk management and supervision occurring to evaluate the situation, and make sure it is safe to work in according to city regulation. According to the Street-Works-Manual for New York, there are permits needed for street level cables, as well as fines if those cables are not permitted or used correctly.
Avoiding fines, and even more important than that, avoiding injury is necessary. With all of these cities working major construction deals, they can certainly benefit from utilizing the proper construction equipment. Some of the standard construction equipment include large maneuverable construction equipment from brands like Caterpillar or Honda or Gehl or John Deere are common on the scene, but the one thing they all have in common is that they have wheels and can potentially damage important wires, cables, or hoses by crushing them.
One major piece of safety equipment includes hose and cable protectors. City maintenance involves various levels of work on different cables, and while one cable is being worked on, others may have to be rerouted above street level. When major wires are brought above street level, the city must protect not only the people around the wires, but for the best interest of the companies that own the wires, they must be properly protected for both the workers on site but also the residents living in the area. It is the city’s responsibility to cover up the cables and wires properly, especially in cities with lots of automotive traffic like Miami and Los Angeles.
