Machine for making foundations equipped with sensors to protect person from dangerous areas of the machine

A method for controlling a foundation construction machine;

• said foundation construction machine comprising:
• a self-moving or mobile assembly configured to move on ground, and moving the foundation construction machine;
• an upper structure, mechanically connected to said self-moving or mobile assembly, equipped with at least one predefined access point configured to allow a person to gain access to said upper structure, and equipped with at least one walkway surface;
• a mast or boom, mechanically connected to the upper structure, whereon an operating equipment is configured to be mounted to drill the ground;
• at least one presence sensor integrally mounted to the upper structure, which is oriented and configured to monitor a monitoring region integral with said upper structure and covering said at least one walkway surface, said at least one presence sensor being configured for detecting presence of a solid body in said monitoring region and for sending a detection signal representative of the presence of said solid body;
• a control system operationally connected to said at least one presence sensor;
• wherein said method comprises the following operating steps:
• said at least one presence sensor detects the presence of a solid body in said monitoring region;
• said at least one presence sensor sends to said control system a detection signal representative of the presence of said solid body;
• said control system sends at least one control signal when said detection signal is representative of the presence of a solid body situated in proximity to said at least one walkway surface;
• said foundation construction machine executes at least one predetermined function based on said at least one control signal.
