Build & run your own virtual reality construction safety training

Construction projects operate in high-risk, fast-changing environments where safety, coordination, and progress must align every day. SynergyXR is a no-code, enterprise-ready 3D platform built for virtual reality construction safety training, enabling construction companies to train, onboard, and support crews in realistic virtual environments before they ever step on site.

Using immersive 3D experiences across VR headsets, tablets, and laptops, teams can prepare for hazards, workflows, and site-specific procedures while keeping full ownership of their training content and rollout.

Faster crew readiness

Risk-free training

Consistent procedures

Global scalability

The challenges of keeping construction sites safe

Construction sites are constantly changing. Layouts evolve, temporary structures come and go, and multiple contractors often work side by side under tight schedules. This makes safety training difficult to standardize and even harder to repeat consistently from one project to the next.

At the same time, construction remains a high-risk industry with strict safety regulations, frequent audits, and growing documentation requirements. New teams and subcontractors move between projects, while practical constraints make it costly and inefficient to bring everyone together for repeated on-site training.

As a result, there is often a gap between defined procedures and real behavior on site. Virtual reality construction safety training helps close that gap by providing realistic, repeatable preparation that supports consistent safety behavior across projects, phases, and locations.

Our partnership with SynergyXR opens a wide range of possibilities in the use of XR at FLSmidth - from onboarding new employees to training, technical support, and showrooms.

How SynergyXR fits into your construction toolbox

SynergyXR is a cloud-based, no-code 3D platform built for complex, safety-critical environments like construction. It supports VR construction training across onboarding, daily operations, and ongoing skills development.

The platform is designed for HSE managers, site managers, supervisors, and crews working on fast-moving construction projects and enables teams to build and maintain training content themselves.

Key value drivers include:

  • Improved safety performance and fewer incidents through realistic, immersive preparation
  • Faster and more consistent onboarding across projects, sites, and subcontractors
  • Standardized procedures and safety flows shared across locations and partners

With virtual reality construction safety training, SynergyXR integrates directly into existing construction workflows rather than acting as a standalone training tool.

Virtual reality construction safety training before anyone steps on site

One of the biggest advantages of virtual reality construction safety training is the ability to prepare people before the real site is active. Crews can explore virtual construction sites, understand risk zones, access routes, and PPE requirements, and practice correct behavior in a safe, controlled environment.

Instead of learning under pressure on a live site, workers arrive better prepared and more confident. Onboarding and refresher training can be completed without blocking work areas or disrupting ongoing operations.

By combining VR construction training with realistic 3D simulations, construction companies turn safety preparation into a proactive process. Virtual reality construction training helps establish consistent safety behavior across projects, phases, and locations.

VR construction training for methods, machinery and workflows

Safety on construction sites is closely linked to how work is planned and executed. VR construction training with SynergyXR goes beyond basic safety inductions and supports training in methods, machinery, and coordinated workflows across trades.

Using shared 3D environments, teams can:

  • Rehearse lifting operations, installations, sequencing, and handovers before tasks are carried out on site
  • Train the use of machinery and equipment virtually, reducing uncertainty and misuse
  • Practice coordination between trades to avoid clashes and unsafe overlaps

By visualizing workflows ahead of execution, teams align expectations across roles and disciplines. This reduces rework, miscommunication, and unsafe improvisation, making virtual reality construction training a practical tool for both safer execution and smoother collaboration on complex projects.

A no-code 3D platform built for fast-moving construction projects

Construction projects evolve quickly, and training tools must adapt just as fast. SynergyXR is designed to support changing site conditions without slowing teams down or adding operational overhead.

As a no-code platform, SynergyXR enables HSE, training, and site managers to build and update training scenarios themselves as projects progress. Content can be adjusted to reflect new layouts, phases, or procedures without waiting for external developers.

The platform runs across VR headsets, tablets, and laptops, making it usable both in structured training sessions and directly on site. This flexibility allows organizations to start with a single pilot and scale virtual reality construction safety training consistently across projects, locations, and timelines.

3D environments that feel like your construction sites

Effective training depends on environments that reflect real-world site conditions. SynergyXR provides pre-built industrial 3D environments that can be adapted to typical construction set-ups, including logistics areas, access routes, and active work zones.

Teams can also use their own 3D or BIM models to recreate specific projects, phases, and zones. This makes it possible to bring real construction layouts into 3D quickly, without having to start from scratch for each new project.

Using intuitive in-XR tools, environments can be adjusted as projects evolve, ensuring that virtual reality construction safety training stays aligned with how construction sites actually look and operate throughout the project lifecycle.

What we’ve learned from other high-risk industries

SynergyXR is used by companies operating in complex and safety-critical environments where clear procedures, site awareness, and risk mitigation are essential. One example is FLSmidth, a global leader in heavy industrial equipment and large-scale plant operations.

At FLS, teams work in hazardous environments with heavy machinery, strict HSE requirements, and constantly changing site conditions. Immersive 3D training helps prepare employees for real-world tasks by building understanding of risks, layouts, and procedures before work begins.

The experience from FLS shows how immersive training supports safer behavior, stronger situational awareness. These learnings translate directly to construction and infrastructure projects, where virtual reality construction safety training addresses similar demands for safety, coordination, and site readiness.

Proven 3D training results from complex, safety-critical operations

SynergyXR is trusted by organizations operating in complex, safety-critical environments across multiple industries. Immersive 3D training helps standardize procedures, improve safety, and support consistent performance in demanding operations.
