Katara Tower

Project Overview

  • Client: Katara Hospitality
  • Consultant: QPM
  • Contractor: HBK Contracting

Deployed Solutions:

  • Live Streaming PTZ Ultra HD Camera for real-time site monitoring.
  • 32 MP Time-Lapse Camera for high-resolution progress tracking.
  • Solar-powered setup with 4G SIM for seamless connectivity.
  • Custom placement of cameras 1.5 km from the tower to capture the entire height of the iconic Katara Tower.

Challenges

  1. Capturing Full Tower Height:
    • Katara Tower is one of the tallest towers in Qatar, requiring careful camera placement to capture the full height of the structure. The distance from the construction site posed challenges for camera positioning.
  2. High-Quality Imaging:
    • The requirement for ultra-high-definition (UHD) and time-lapse images to document every stage of the project, including detailed progress and construction activities.
  3. Power and Connectivity Solutions:
    • The challenge of ensuring continuous power and seamless internet connectivity, especially for the live-streaming capabilities and remote monitoring.

Solutions Implemented

  1. Camera Placement:
    • Installed cameras 1.5 km from the tower to achieve the perfect angle for capturing the entire height of the tower. This strategic positioning ensured a comprehensive view of the project, despite the tower’s immense scale.
  2. High-Resolution Imaging:
    • Deployed a 32 MP time-lapse camera and a PTZ Ultra HD live streaming camera to deliver crystal-clear images and real-time feeds, crucial for the detailed monitoring of construction progress.
  3. Solar-Powered and 4G Connectivity:
    • Utilized a solar-powered solution to ensure an environmentally-friendly and independent power source, paired with a 4G SIM for constant, high-speed internet connectivity. This ensured uninterrupted camera operation and real-time video streaming.

Outcome

  • Uninterrupted Monitoring: Solar-powered and 4G connectivity ensured that the cameras ran efficiently without interruption, even in remote locations.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: The unique camera placement allowed for full-height documentation of Katara Tower, offering a clear visual timeline of the construction progress.
  • Real-Time Insights: Live streaming offered immediate access to the construction site, allowing stakeholders to monitor and make quick decisions from any location.

This project underscores Widelapse’s ability to meet the unique challenges of high-profile, large-scale constructions with innovative solutions, ensuring precise documentation and reliable, real-time monitoring.
