Contractor Colmore Tang<\/a> has selected the winner in its hunt for a start-up technology that it could collaborate with to help improve the construction industry<\/h2>\n

The contractor is now set to trial the winning technology on its own live sites where there are 500 operatives at work.<\/p>\n

Colmore Tang Construction (CTC) partnered with Virgin StartUp<\/a> earlier in the year to launch its ConstrucTech initiative, an accelerator programme<\/a> for innovations in the industry.<\/p>\n

It has now chosen to work with a business called Wearable Link<\/a>, which has established technology aimed at improving health and safety on construction sites.<\/p>\n

Wearable Link\u2019s product deals with health and safety<\/a> in the industry, monitoring the location, activity and status of users on site. It examines employee vitals, detects hazardous conditions in the construction environment and automatically notifies workers of unsafe working zones whilst providing clear evacuation instructions.<\/p>\n

Andy Robinson, CEO of Colmore Tang Group, said: \u201cWorking with this innovative start-up business is the next stage of the ConstrucTech process and we\u2019re really looking forward to seeing how their technology can help to resolve health and safety issues that are addressed every day by construction companies all over the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of ConstrucTech was to positively disrupt the sector and pave the way for a technology-driven future in construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be working very closely our chosen finalist to test, re-test and refine the product to make it the very best it can be,\u201d Robinson added.<\/p>\n

The ConstrucTech initiative attracted 210 applicants and included concepts involving artificial intelligence<\/a>, 3D-print robotic solutions and cloud-based software.<\/p>\n

CTC said that the competition was enhanced by frustration within the sector, which is slow to embrace innovation and adopt new technology.<\/p>\n
