Sanfield's TIE.Ai: Smarter Scaffolding Monitoring System

At Sanfield, the construction arm of SHKP, safety is our top priority. At a media briefing held last Thursday, we introduced Hong Kong’s first smart scaffolding monitoring system — the Tension and Tilting Inspection Engine AI System (TIE.Ai), developed by our construction-tech unit, @Sanfield Construction Innovations Limited.

TIE.Ai leverages AI, IoT and precision sensors to provide real-time monitoring of bamboo, metal or mixed scaffolds, enhancing construction site safety. Key features include precise tilt detection, tension monitoring, wall tie tamper-detection sensors, fire alerts, and 24/7 mobile app reporting with 3D visualization and BIM integration. It delivers near-instant alerts regardless of weather or time, detecting risks invisible to manual inspections.

We will pilot TIE.Ai at our Kwu Tung North project and offer free trials to industry partners, aiming to make the monitoring system smarter, more affordable, and widely adopted. We’re proud that TIE.Ai has received positive feedback from construction professionals, scaffolding experts, and workers’ groups — marking a major step forward in Hong Kong’s construction safety innovation.
