    CEA SANY telehandlers: 360° pedestrian recognition and safety lessons for engineers

    CEA SANY telehandlers: 360° pedestrian recognition and safety lessons for engineers

    First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)

    30 Second Briefing

    SANY telehandlers distributed by CEA across Australia now integrate a 360-degree Pedestrian Recognition System that uses cameras and AI to detect people in blind spots created by the boom and attachment. The system provides real-time visual and audible alerts around the full machine envelope, targeting typical collision risks in tight construction, infrastructure and materials-handling sites. For fleet owners and contractors, the technology supports proactive exclusion-zone management and incident reporting, particularly on mixed-traffic sites where telehandlers work alongside ground crews and delivery vehicles.

    Technical Brief

    • Mixed-traffic construction sites can align system use with formal exclusion-zone plans and toolbox briefings.
    • Wider adoption of AI-based pedestrian detection on telehandlers could influence future plant risk-assessment baselines on Australian sites.

    Our Take

    SANY’s presence across both this Australian Roads & Infrastructure Magazine piece and recent International Mining coverage of large electric and autonomous haul trucks suggests the company is trying to standardise a safety technology stack that can move relatively easily between civil and mining fleets.

    With 915 Infrastructure stories and 2,481 tag-matched pieces in our database, relatively few combine ‘Safety’, ‘Product’ and ‘Projects’ around Australia as this CEA/SANY item does, signalling that OEM-installed perception systems are moving from niche add-ons to specified project requirements on some road and civil jobs.

    Strabag’s Pfaffensteig Tunnel contract: design and delivery notes for rail engineers

    Strabag and Group company Züblin have secured the design-and-build structural works for the ABS Gäubahn Nord/Pfaffensteig Tunnel in south-west Germany, centred on an 11km twin-bore rail tunnel linking Stuttgart Airport station directly to the Gäubahn line towards Switzerland. About 9.8km will be driven by two TBMs, with conventional tunnelling for the A8 motorway undercrossing and airport connection, plus a 240m cut-and-cover section, retaining structures, railway underpasses and a grade-separated crossing. A 3km surface section will be upgraded and partially realigned for 200km/h operation, delivered under an integrated project delivery model with Ed. Züblin, Wayss & Freytag and Strabag AG sharing tunnelling, structural and earthworks packages.

    National Grid TBM under the Thames: tunnelling design and risk notes for engineers

    A 271.5‑tonne Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM, Caroline, has started driving a 2.2km electricity cable tunnel with a 4m internal diameter beneath the River Thames in Essex for National Grid’s Grain to Tilbury project, delivered by the Ferrovial BEMO joint venture. The drive will pass through variable Thames estuary ground conditions between 35m‑deep launch and reception shafts of 15m and 12m diameter, with tunnelling continuing into 2026 and overall scheme completion targeted for 2029. The new tunnel will replace the 1969 Thames Cable Tunnel and carry new high‑voltage circuits between Grain and Tilbury substations.

    Panama Canal Mixshield undercrossing: design and tunnelling lessons for engineers

    A 13.46m diameter Herrenknecht Mixshield TBM has broken through into the future Balboa station on Panama Metro Line 3 after completing the first-ever TBM undercrossing of the Panama Canal at depths exceeding 60m below sea level. The 5,600kW, 26,616kNm machine, fitted with an accessible cutterhead and more than 4,500 sensors linked via the Herrenknecht.Connected platform, has achieved peak advance of 150 segment rings (about 300m) per month through mixed sandstone, tuff, breccias and basalt. Around 1.5km of the 4.5km twin-track tunnel remains to final breakthrough.
