Infrakit’s easy-to-use solution and expert support helps to increase adoption and succeed in deployment

Infrakit ensures that all project parties are working with the latest plans and schedule to avoid waste of resources and expensive errors, while improving efficiency at the worksite. Our experienced experts will work closely with the customers, visiting their construction sites and offices when needed. We will always design our service solutions according to the customers’ needs to ensure the best results.

With the help of a Deployment project, we can achieve the best possible result together based on our customers’ feedback. This project begins with thorough Infrakit training. After that, we will work on the implementation of Infrakit in joint workshops, where we will select targets, create a plan, and set clear goals and indicators for the operations. Our experts will work together with customers to carry out the pilot projects throughout their entire life cycle.

Built according to plans

Infrakit enables easier coordination of plans and quality assurance, which leads to high quality end products that are ready and suitable for digital construction. As built aggregation enables progress and quality monitoring.

“Infrakit is used as a project bank in the project – all plans and real-time quality assignments are handled through Infrakit. This is important for the subscriber of the project, who wants quality recognition to take place immediately during the work and not with the traditional way of delay. Without Infrakit, quality designation would not only be delayed, but it would also require more work: quality reports and their storage in a project bank. Now there is no need for it, but all quality measurements and as-built measurements are displayed in real time when the points are taken.

At the same time, quality data can be combined with the location, ie. material certificates, drums, etc. are documented. It is possible to look at what quality measurements can be found in each case.”

Status reporting and as documented

The pilots will be systematically monitored according to the project plan. The project’s results will then be compared and measured with the original goals defined in the workshops. After the project, we will create a final report that clearly records the project’s challenges, benefits, and possibilities. Based on this information, we will create a follow-up action plan for the customer, which will further help the practical work and the digitalization of designing and building through concrete actions.

Real time situational awareness and project progress status can be found in the platform with different devices like smartphones and tablets which are easy to use on site. Project progress monitoring can be done with the help of surveying and machine control log points, photos, orthophotos and drone views.

“HSY can view photographs and completed pipeline networks through Infrakit. Photos provide valuable information on how construction is progressing. Infrakit’s orthophotos have been praised, as they provide an up-to-date situational image. During the implementation stage, supervisors can also view the photos and situational images in Infrakit on site, on their tablets.”

Tomi Mäkelä, Head Surveyor on case: Jokeri Light Rail

Infrakit increases trust for contractors in infrastructure projects by providing real-time information

Contactors need access to all project information to fulfil the requirements of project owners, which is where Infrakit can help. Infrakit transforms your projects into more controlled processes enabling a more harmonized way of working.

A common issue for contractors is staying within the budget and schedule, while fulfilling the infrastructure owner’s requirements. Infrakit ensures that all infrastructure project parties are working with the latest plans and schedule to avoid waste of resources and expensive errors, while enabling you to invoice for all additional work.

Access to real-time information keeps you updated on everything that’s going on at the site to improve trust throughout the organization.

“It is easy on these grounds: the project progress becomes open and transparent and work time is used more efficiently than before.

I don’t see any other options on how infrastructure projects will be done in the future: a combination where worksites operate with machine control and site management systems like Infrakit. There aren’t any other ways to complete infra-projects. This is the Way of working with a capital W. I can’t think of it any other way.”

Survey Chief Petri Honkanen City of Lahti on case Suoniitynkatu Residential Street

Due to a more efficient way of working, fewer resources are wasted, and less reworking is done which will directly lead to a more sustainable way of building.

Cost savings in total project costs made possible by continuous documentation

Because of the continuous documentation for project progress, quality control and handover materials, you can easily keep track of what is being done at your worksite and make sure that your subcontractors work efficiently. This ensures that they do the right things and keep to the planned schedule and quality without overcharging you.

Machine usage data and truck haul monitoring, together with volume and schedule tracking, can boost jobsite and heavy machinery efficiency from 50% up to 90%.

“We wanted to have all the machine control in one place. The same applies to photos, models, and the updating of new versions. Before, we used several programs with different portals. This meant that we had to post models several times. On Infrakit they are collected. In a turnkey contract like this, there are many models and updates. Instead of going through five different portals, it now sticks with one. Overall, this provides much more efficient machine control.”

Infrakit enables more efficient project and quality control for contractors

Infrakit offers a centralized cloud platform for contractors to have control over all infra construction phases easily enabling a more efficient and sustainable way of working. Common problems for contractors are fulfilling owner’s project requirements concerning time, quality and budget. Contactors need access to all project information to fulfil these requirements, Infrakit makes this possible by enabling contractors to manage and share visual real-time information.

Infrakit gives you complete control over all project phases

Infrakit transforms your projects into more controlled processes enabling a more harmonized way of working. This lets you build according to requirements with less errors, reworking and claims with the bonus of having the handover documentation available as soon as the project is finished.

By connecting data, people and machines Infrakit ensures that all project parties are working with the latest plans and schedule to avoid waste of resources and expensive errors, eventually leading to a more sustainable way of working. All of this also applies to possible subcontractors working on your projects.

Because of our wide selection of integration partners, Infrakit can be used independently from any equipment and software brands.

“It is very easy to distribute rights in Infrakit. Easy to manage and keep track of what both project managers and the guys in the field do. We received direct and personal training from Infrakit, and everyone knows exactly what to do.”

Henrik Bertelsson on case Vestre Vei.

Handover phase is made stress-free because all information can already be found in Infrakit

According to Janne Neste and Jenna Karppanen from the Streets of Kallvik case, the ease of communication that comes through using Infrakit is one of the main benefits.

“Particularly when handover time approaches, Infrakit will greatly lighten the workload for all parties because all the material is in one place, and everyone has the same up-to-date information. This is especially true for large projects like this one. Without Infrakit, everyone would be faced with huge piles of paper and other material. The fact that everything is stored in one place and documents can be searched for using different codes makes the work more efficient.”

Infrakit connects infra project participants into a common information management system

Infrakit enables all parties to share real-time information to ensure projects success, access visual location-based documentation to improve quality control and manage mixed fleets on a single platform to increase on-site efficiency.

This article explains in a nutshell how Infrakit answers some of the main challenges these different stakeholders face in day-to-day work. Throughout the 12 years we have been in the business we have learned that data flow and shared information are key elements in efficient, quality construction processes.
