Hi_Rise - Building a Safer Future Through Technology
This event has finished
Following the Grenfell tragedy and subsequent recommendations by Dame Judith Hackitt in her 'Building a Safer Future' report, the construction industry have started to respond, offering potential solutions to improve fire safety design and regulations.
The Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and Association for Project Safety (APS) are teaming up to run a series of ‘construction technology’ (#contech) workshops to explore the use of new technology integrations to develop much needed market solutions to known fire safety issues.
We are calling for a mix of industry experts, building owners, tech start-ups, coders and developers to register interest for the following programme:
