    Abstract: The foundation construction machine (1) comprises a self-moving or mobile assembly (2) configured to move on the ground, thus moving the foundation construction machine (1); an upper structure (3), mechanically connected to said self- moving or mobile assembly (2), said upper structure (3) being equipped with at least one predefined access point (3A, 3B, 3D) configured to allow a person to gain access to said upper structure (3), and being equipped with at least one walkway surface (7, 16, 18, 21), whereon a person accessing the upper structure (3) will be able to stand or walk. A mast or boom (4) is mechanically connected to the upper structure (3), whereon an operating equipment (5) is configured to be mounted in order to drill the ground. At least one presence sensor (20) is integrally mounted to the upper structure (3), so oriented and configured as to monitor a monitoring region integral with said upper structure (3) and covering said at least one walkway surface (7, 16, 18, 21), said at least one presence sensor (20) being configured for detecting the 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 (9) is operationally connected to said at least one presence sensor (20), and is configured for receiving said detection signal from said at least one presence sensor (20) and for sending at least one control signal intended to cause said foundation construction machine (1) to execute at least one predetermined function when said detection signal is representative of the presence of a solid body situated in proximity to said at least one walkway surface (7, 16, 18, 21).
