Pioneering Collaboration to Drive Construction Excellence
AF Gruppen, a leader in the Norwegian construction sector, is known for its commitment to integrating innovative solutions and leveraging new technology to enhance building processes. Recognising the potential of Buildright's platform, AF Gruppen embarked on a groundbreaking project with Buildright and Sika, aimed at revolutionizing on-site operations for a new Salvation Army building in Ensjo, Oslo.
Addressing Complex Waterproofing Challenges
The project involved implementing a sophisticated waterproofing system for the underground basement using SikaProof® At from Sika, a solution unfamiliar to AF Gruppen.
Understanding the complexity and critical importance of precise waterproofing, AF Gruppen partnered with Buildright to develop a comprehensive training and installation guide for the SikaProof® At system.
Tailor-Made Training Solutions
The collaboration brought together a wealth of resources, including technical documentation from Sika, such as PDFs, instructional videos, and detailed illustrations, along with engineering insights from the project. Input from AF Gruppen's installers and engineers, as well as their subcontractor Stenseth & RS, was integral to crafting a customised training module tailored specifically to the project's needs.
Multifaceted Benefits from an Innovative Approach
Utilising Buildright's training solution, AF Gruppen realized multiple benefits that significantly enhanced the project outcome:
- Clarity Before Execution: All crucial details were comprehensively clarified before installation began, minimising risks and misunderstandings.
- High-Quality Training Impact: The training provided was impactful, improving the skill level and understanding of installers, which directly influenced the quality of execution.
- Enhanced Communication: The clear, detailed guides ensured that installation adhered to design specifications and the required methods, fostering excellent on-site communication.
- Mobile Accessibility: Easy access to the mobile guides facilitated ongoing reference and repetition by installers, proving essential during the execution phase.
- Quality Control by Supervisors: Buildright proved to be an indispensable tool for supervisors, enabling them to conduct thorough quality controls and ensure adherence to the highest standards.
Looking to the Future
This successful initial project sets a strong precedent for future collaborations. AF Gruppen continues to explore new avenues where Buildright's innovative training solutions can be employed to further enhance construction quality and efficiency.
