Introducing Morten Westergård as Head of Services in Norway

Introducing Morten Westergård as Head of Services in Norway

Morten Westergård joined Infrakit in August as the Head of Services in Norway, he has now been with us for seven months. We interviewed him about his background and expectations for the future.

Can you tell us a bit about your background in the industry?

I have a Master of Science degree from The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. I have a background as a design and lead engineer in railway projects at the consultant side based in both Gothenburg and Oslo. I have had the opportunity to work with earthwork modelling of the high-speed railway line “East Link”, and the construction of the big railway tunnel called “The West Link” under Gothenburg. In Norway I have worked with ERTMS Civil Works for Bane NOR the last couple of years.

Why did you want to join Infrakit?

Joining Infrakit felt like a unique opportunity. To be able to join a technology company at this stage of the digitalisation of the infra construction industry is truly inspiring. Personally, it is motivating to work with the industry in another way than I did before. Being a technology provider like Infrakit makes you help both small and big contractors and owners in their daily business.

What are you looking forward to the most in the future?

It has been an intense and very inspiring start here at Infrakit. Providing expert services to our customers seems like an appreciated way of helping them implementing model-based construction. Response in the market has been good.

What do you enjoy doing on your free time?

I like orienteering, like a lot of our colleagues.

New Infrakit version out

New Infrakit version out

We are delighted to release the Infrakit version 3.7.7 to all our customers. This version brings many features that many of our users wished for. New IFC parser, new controls on 3D viewer and many improvements to Saved views functions to name a few of the highlights.

IFC support for all common design suites

New IFC parser supporting large variation of 2×3 and 4x series of IFC standard from various design suites. Turn structures alive in collaboration view and be ready for new Infra domain extensions.

3D collaboration view usability improved

We have had a new 3D viewer available for a while but now we have reached maturity where we feel comfortable announcing it ready for all users. The beauty of the new 3D is the clever combination of GIS and BIM modes. Big projects can be observed on a large scale on a map and users can dive deep by zooming to details in Orbit mode. We have also applied the button layout from the Map page so all functions should be available for users feeling confident using the Map page.

New 3D offers brand new movement controls. Mouse controls are rebuilt completely, and we have also introduced fly mode with keyboard arrow keys or WASD keys – for convenience to both left-handed and right-handed users. Also try out the new jump to the station and feature: Choose alignment from bottom left corner, hit station number to the station box and press jump to station button. Now when cross section is activated you can press Space key or Shift + Space key to step on the sections. First measurement tool is also available for the cross section.

Saved views improvements

Saved views now offer the possibility to add free form annotation and description in the Map page too. You can link relevant documents and URLs to collect packages of information connected to a single view.

Employee introduction: Amine Sijilmassi Head of Services Infrakit SARL

Employee introduction: Amine Sijilmassi Head of Services Infrakit SARL

My name is Amine and I joined Infrakit last fall, as head of services in France.

My story with Infrakit started with a coffee at Intergeo, 4 years ago. I discovered a great and innovative solution, but more than that, I discovered a great team with values. Persons that want to make a real change in the construction industry. These people are now my colleagues, and I am extremely happy to work daily with them.

I come from a land surveying background, with some experience with GNSS antennas and CAD software. During my career, I achieved different roles: Land Surveyor, Technical Support Engineer and CAD Training Manager. These experiences helped me to grow professionally and personally, and to know what I really want to do for the rest of my professional career; help customers. For me, the service, the support and the collaboration with customers are the key to success.

In the past few years, I haven’t seen many companies with such a high level of sensitivity to customer satisfaction and success. For Infrakit, top priority is the customer. These are not just words but facts, and here are some examples.

• In the Service Team of Infrakit, even if we work in different countries, we all work together for the benefit of our customers. We have a concept of “Global Services”
• Apart from technical support and trainings, the Services team is offering the expertise of our qualified professionals to help the customer during all the phases of the project
• Surveys to know customers feedback, which is transformed to an indicador/rate

Let’s work together to make infrastructure projects more efficient and sustainable. Our success is the success of our customers, and that’s one of the biggest motivations to keep doing what we do at Infrakit.
