Say hi or ask us a question!
We are continuing to develop our software and UI while testing our prototypes. We will continue working with Leighton to test our prototypes and ensure they work at their maximum potential. We are currently still working on researching and developing the project. Apart from this, we are also looking into the applications of our technology in other fields such as demolition projects and educating workers about safe methods to interact with scaffolding. If you would like to collaborate or contact us, please do not hesitate to use the contact form below to shoot us an email!
Solving a Critical Problem
Untouched by any form of technology, scaffolding remains as perilous as ever for construction workers. In cities like Hong Kong, scaffolding is often constructed densely around buildings. With 30+ fatalities per year in Hong Kong alone, scaffolding is not safe and deteriorates over time, especially when it is made of bamboo.
The HeightSecure Solution
The HeightSecure Sensor monitors the integrity of bamboo used in scaffolding. The sensor detects micro-vibrations and inertial movement of the bamboo through measuring a change in position of the bamboo. It works both in the short and long term. In the short-term, it can alert workers if there is significant or unusual movement, payload, or stress detected on a single bamboo stick. In the long-term, it can measure the overall incremental change of movement (through factors such as wind, rain, etc) to see if the bamboo has loosened over time due to wear-and-tear and if it is still safe to use or not. The sensor learns over time with Machine Learning and Mesh integration, and prototypes have been tested at live sites during development.

Aditya Shrisankaraan
CFO, Co-founder
Arhan is a student from Hong Kong, currently studying in CT, USA. With a background in entrepreneurship and computer science, he invented the initial concept of the HeightSecure sensor after seeing the market’s necessity, viability, and current technologies. Arhan led a team of three through the SciTech Innovation Challenge, where HeightSecure was able to win all available awards despite fierce competition. Arhan is now working with the team to continue HeightSecure Technology’s development, focussing on overall operations and product development.
