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!
