20230383623 · 2023-11-30 ·

A foundation construction machine includes a self-moving/mobile assembly moving the construction machine. An upper structure mechanically connected to the self-moving/mobile assembly has an access point allowing access to the upper structure, and equipped with a walkway surface for standing or walking. A mast/boom mechanically connects to the upper structure, whereon an operating equipment mounts for drilling the ground. A presence sensor integrally mounts to the upper structure to monitor a monitoring region integral with the upper structure and covering the walkway surface. The presence sensor detects presence of a solid body in the monitoring region and sends a detection signal representative of the presence. A control system connected to the presence sensor is configured for receiving the detection signal and for sending a control signal to cause the construction machine to execute a predetermined function(s) when the detection signal indicates presence of a solid body proximate the walkway surface.
