Power outages can be a major problem for construction sites, as they can cause a wide range of safety hazards and disrupt your work. The biggest issues arise when no one is present at the site and the consequences can wreak havoc upon your new building or project.

A power failure detector with text message and email alerts could warn you that a power outage has occurred on your construction site, giving you the opportunity to go out and prevent damage. A reliable and efficient solution for detecting and responding to power outages at construction sites is the remote monitoring system called Reporter. One of the key features of Reporter is its built-in power supply detection.

How Reporter can be your power failure detector

Reporter detects power outages in real-time and sends alarm notifications to your phone or email. This allows for quick action, minimising the risk of damage.

Installation is a piece of cake as Reporter was designed to be the epitome of user-friendliness. No tech knowledge is required to set up our plug & play device. Internet connection is instant thanks to the integrated SIM card.

power failure detector with text message and email alerts

Data is sent to a cloud platform called the Crodeon Dashboard where you can access, analyse, and download the data remotely and view detailed reports. No software installation is needed as the web app works in your favourite browser on your device of choice.

Reporter has four connectors that allow for the connection of other sensors such as:

  1. Temperature & humidity sensor
  2. Weather sensor
  3. Water level sensor
  4. Water flow meter

These additional sensors are crucial to monitor other vital conditions on the site.

The smartest power failure detector with text message and email alerts

Power outages at a construction site can be dangerous and disruptive. It is crucial to have a reliable and efficient way to detect and respond to power outages quickly. Reporter is the best solution for this. It provides real-time monitoring and sends out alarm notifications regarding power outages.

1. Prevent groundwater damage with a power failure detector

One of the most significant dangers of a power outage at a construction site is the potential for groundwater levels to rise when a pump fails. This causes damage to basements, foundations, and other structures. Many construction sites rely on pumps to control groundwater levels, and if these pumps stop working due to a power outage, things go wrong quickly.

When groundwater levels rise, the soil that surrounds the building foundation can become saturated and lose its strength. The foundation can shift or settle, which can lead to cracks and other structural damage. The pressure of the water can also cause the foundation walls to bow or buckle, which can lead to collapse. The foundation or basement can even start to ‘float’. This kind of damage is irreparable. The only solution is to completely break down all previous work and start anew. This causes immense delays and causes thousands of euros worth of extra costs.

All of this misery is avoidable and unnecessary when you connect Reporter as a power failure detector to your pump installation. This detector with alarm notifications sends out a text message, voice message or email to warn you before things go awry.

2. Prevent delays with a power failure detector with text message and email alerts

A building dryer, also known as a construction dryer, is an important piece of equipment on a construction site. Its main function is to dry out various building materials such as concrete and plaster. When a building dryer fails to work due to a power outage, it can have disastrous consequences for the construction project.

One of the main issues that can arise when a building dryer fails, is mould growth. As building materials like concrete cure and plaster dry, they release moisture into the air. If this moisture is not removed quickly and efficiently, it can lead to mould growth on the walls and other surfaces of the building.

Additionally, when a building dryer fails, the drying times of concrete and plaster will be longer. This can cause significant delays in the construction process and rack up some serious costs. It's therefore extremely important to be warned about a power outage at your construction site. Which can be solved by a power failure detector with text message.

3. Prevent footage loss with a power failure detector with text message

For security reasons, a construction company may want to install cameras at their site. When a power cut occurs these cameras can no longer film and guard the site, rendering them useless. A company could also use cameras to film a time-lapse to document the progress of a construction project. You might want to showcase the construction process to potential clients, to demonstrate the company's capabilities and efficiency, or use the footage in marketing materials. Additionally, a time-lapse can be useful for monitoring the construction process, identifying issues and making adjustments as needed.

It would be a waste of time to find out a chunk of your footage is missing when editing it later on… Reporter is here to help you prevent any such disasters!

Protect your project

Reporter is an ideal solution for detecting and responding to power outages at smart construction sites. The system is plug and play, with automatic sensor detection. No technical knowledge is required to get started. The built-in power failure detector can detect power while the four remaining connectors allow for other data to be gathered.

The system uses the GSM network with its own SIM card, which means it is not dependent on WiFi connection and can be used in remote locations. All the information about Reporter is situated online on the Crodeon Dashboard, which can be accessed through your web browser on your phone, PC, or tablet.

Prevent disaster and invest in your own power failure detector with text message and email alerts now.
