WakeCap’s smart construction site management technologies are set to improve safety in mining and manufacturing projects across the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, following a presentation to the Kingdom’s Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources
Dr. Hassan Albalawi, CEO and founder of WakeCap, presented the IoT-based construction safety and productivity technology at the closing ceremony of the accelerator and industrial business incubator initiative Nomu, in the presence of His Excellency Bandar I. Alkhorayef, the Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, and other officials.
WakeCap’s technology will support the government’s strategy to mandate safety and security in construction and related sectors by enhancing emergency response times and providing robust data for compliance and incident investigation. WakeCap facilitates real-time monitoring of workers’ conditions, enabling instant alerts in the event of an emergency, which significantly reduces response times.
The data collected by WakeCap not only ensures ongoing compliance with safety regulations, but also plays a crucial role in investigating incidents, identifying root causes, and implementing preventative measures to avoid future occurrences. This comprehensive approach further supports the government’s commitment to not only mandate safety regulations, but to foster a culture of safety and accountability through data-driven insights and actions.
“We are honoured by His Excellency’s comments and endorsements, which not only validate our technology as crucial for setting new safety standards, but also signal a directive for mandating technology on major projects. Doing so will serve to promote transparency and ensure better compliance rates. This aligns perfectly with our mission to transform safety protocols and practices in the construction industry and beyond, leveraging Wakecap’s capabilities to forge a safer, more secure working environment for all,” said Dr. Albalawi.
WakeCap has now been adopted by more than 35 leading developments and projects.
