Connected Autonomous Plant

Construction News Image
Being early adopters of new technologies is an integral part of the structure of Castle & Pryor. We continually invest in the latest innovative equipment to ensure that we are at the forefront of modern construction. We are one of the market leaders, making way for the implementation of automation in construction.

What is Connected Autonomous Plant (CAP)?

This technology enables our operatives to work on construction sites with minimal human intervention. As a result of smarter working we have seen an increase in productivity of 25% using less man power saving time and money on the project. The technology also encourages greener and Safer ways of working, as well as creating high-skilled jobs for our team.

We have seen the benefit of using CAP for over 20 years, through our robotic demolition, track, wall and wire sawing.
