Over 300 operators and 19 000 m³ sprayed!

Over 300 operators at various places around the world has now gone through virtual training with Edvirt's 3D Shotcrete Simulator™. These operators have used over
19 000 m³ of concrete during their time in the simulator. "This is a small, but great step towards our vision of only seeing properly trained sprayed concrete operators in production", says Eric Göransson, CEO Edvirt AB. 
 

New features: "Hardening concrete" and "Overbreak filling"

Edvirt has recently finished the development of two new advanced features in the 3D Shotcrete Simulator™. Operators can now in real-time see when the concrete is hardening. This knowledge can help them to establish when it is safe and efficient to put on a second layer as well as when it is okay to walk under the concrete.

The second feature, Overbreak filling, builds on the Hardening concrete feature. This feature teaches operators to focus on spraying a smooth surface and fill an overbreak, rather than applying a certain thickness, while also teaching the operators to wait for the concrete to harden before adding more layers.

New world record!

Stoyan Stoyanov from Dundee Precious Metals is the new world record holder for virtual sprayed concrete training. Mr Stoyanov completed all 18 training scenarios in Edvirt's 3D Shotcrete Simulator in only 8 hours, 41 minutes and 45 seconds, which is the fastest time yet. Mr Stoyanov performed his training at Blue Square's training facility in Sofia, Bulgaria. 

Congratulations to Stoyan Stoyanov from all employees at Edvirt!

Edvirt in Hagerbach

Edvirt took part of BASF's training course "Sprayed concrete workshop" in Hagerbach in October 2014. The around 80 participants got to try out virtual spraying with one 3D Shotcrete Simulator™. The participants also got to watch real spraying with Atlas Copco MEYCO's new spraying mobile VERSA.

Training collaboration with Jetcrete Oz

As of July this year, Edvirt delivered two 3D Shotcrete Simulator's™ to Jetcrete Oz of Australia. Jetcrete Oz is one of the largest shotcrete contractors in the world. Jetcrete is proud to offer one of the best training packages to its employees. Now with the addition of two 3D Shotcrete Simulator's™ it shows the seriousness they have towards improving waste and safety.

Simulator to Leaf Group in Bulgaria

On the 27th of May Edvirt delivered a 3D Shotcrete Simulator™ to Leaf Group Ltd. of Bulgaria. Leaf Group offers modern technology related to the underground construction industry in the Balkan region in Europe. Leaf Group serves mining companies, tunnelling contractors and metro projects with products such as accelerators and spare parts for shotcrete robots.

Edvirt at Tunneldagarna

Edvirt took part of the "Tunnelling Days" (Tunneldagarna) at Atlas Copco's laboratory mine in Stockholm on the 20-21st. Edvirt displayed a 3D Shotcrete Simulator™ for the visitors and CEO Eric Göransson held a presentation about shotcrete operator training and certification.
