Infrakit News from the Netherlands!

Infrakit News from the Netherlands!

Dear readers,

There is a lot going on in Netherlands at the moment. First of all, we have an agreement with a company called Digital Infra Solutions who will be our reseller and service provider. This company has experienced people from different aspects in the infra market and can help you very well with all issues related to digital infra-construction.

With the great help of Digital Infra Solutions new projects will be using Infrakit and the first one is Combinatie Herepoort in Groningen. This is a 4-year project where a ring road will be transformed in a high way ring road. The existing road is a cause of traffic congestion, because there is a lot of traffic and most of it is on same level, so there is a lot of traffic controlled by traffic lights. This road is on +6m level.

The new road is going to be on -6m level and all local traffic will stay on +6m level. This way traffic just passing the city will not be disturbed anymore by the local traffic and vice versa. It is a 400 million Euro project created by 4 local construction companies (Roelofs Wegenbouw BV, Jansma Drachten BV, Koninklijke Sjouke Dijkstra BV and Oosterhof Holman Infra BV) and 2 German companies through their Dutch subsidiaries (Max Bögl Nederland BV and Züblin Nederland BV).

This project has started already and will continue for the next 4 years! Wishing them a successful project and implementation of Infrakit Cloud Service!

The other good news is that one of the biggest companies in infra-construction in Netherlands has become a customer! After using Infrakit at a pilot project and seeing the great results using Infrakit they have decided that they will use Infrakit for all relevant projects! We welcome company Heijmans N.V. as a customer. Heijmans is a stock listed company and has very nice projects coming up and going on. One of the new project that will start this month is the so called 3Angle project, which will be done in combination with 3i Infrastructure and Fluor. This is a project where 2 highways will be widened from 2×3 to 2×4 lanes and from 2×2 to 2×3 lanes. Have a look at this.

Of course, nature will get a lot of attention as well. Look at this eco tunnel!

We wish Heijmans and the combination partners a successful project and a successful implementation of our Infrakit Cloud Service!

One of the great advantages of using Infrakit in these kind of projects is that there is always a mixed fleet of machine control brands on the project. Infrakit can handle them all!

Meet the Serbian team!

Meet the team:
Our manpower in Belgrade peaked with maximum count of five members in early-2016, while it’s currently stable with three coders.


Ognjen Popović – Regional Manager Eastern Europe

I had a chance to do business with Mr. Teemu Kivimäki prior to Infrakit, and I am happy that I had the opportunity to join the Infrakit endeavour after Teemu put it on the right track. My job consists of doing everything related to the Belgrade office, from handling the office space, setting up hardware and software, recruiting and basically both PR and HR which were moderately needed so far.

I’ve been coding using several technologies, incl. development of embedded software that resides on the construction site vehicles, got into CAD and CG design and the work I am probably most proud of is development of the mathematical formulas for transitioning curves we are displaying in our software. Prof. Srđan Vukmirović from Faculty of Mathematics in Belgrade was kind enough to help me with the math problems, which later led me to achieve my master thesis.

 


Predrag Kerčov – Software Developer

First task Predrag got was to improve worksite mass calculations. He is mostly doing what is called back-end or server coding.

Predrag is now also involved in Android development, currently improving the Truck Tracking and Infrakit applications, but still working on the web application when needed.

 

Nikola – Front-End Developer, Designer

Nikola is master coder (both in academic degree and skill-set) and a designer. His front-end coding skills resulted in the Infrakit web application and Infrakit website implementation, both visually and in the code under the hood. Lately he has also been working on back-end.

From time to time he is working together with Pipsa (Marketing), when there is a need for any kind of graphic design: brochures, ads – online and offline.

 

At the plateau near the office

We are all occasionally in direct communication with Infrakit clients over Internet calls adapting our solutions according to their feedback. More or less, all of us had or will have chance to travel and visit worksites and take a look of Infrakit use in real working conditions.

Read the previous post about what we have been doing more in detail from here.

New Infrakit map page – Infrakit version 3.2.0 live!

New Infrakit map page – Infrakit version 3.2.0 live!

Last night (20.3.), Infrakit was updated to version 3.2.0.

In this update, we have completely reworked the main map page based on your feedback. Old map page is still available if you need it, but we are confident that the new and improved page will be a lot more versatile and easy to use for your needs. New features include, for example, improved management of photos and as-built points directly on the map page, among numerous others. Also some bug fixes and other features were done. You can find the complete list of changes below.


New map page

How does the Dutch market look like?

How does the Dutch market look like?

As mentioned before DCS Finland Oy has founded new companies in Norway and in the Netherlands. During the last 2 years we have seen that the market for the Infrakit Cloud in both countries is waiting for this solution.

Fun fact: With 139,000 km of public roads, the Netherlands has one of the most dense road networks in the world – much denser than Germany and France, but still not as dense as Belgium. Dutch roads include at least 3,530 km of motorways and expressways, and with a motorway density of 64 kilometres per 1,000 km², the country also has one of the densest motorway networks in the world. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Dutch market is seeking for more efficiency in road construction projects. The fact that Infrakit offers brand independent solutions for exchanging information with all machine control systems is unique in the market. In Netherlands openness is very important, because companies hire subcontractors for all the work. Sometimes they have some own machines, but most of the times they need to hire many machines and all these subcontractors have different machine control systems. Many of those don’t even have connection to a cloud system and this is a big issue for construction companies. Our customers see immediately the big benefits of being able to share information real time with all participants in the project. These can be project owners, but also designers, foremen, land surveyors, machines, etc.

How can Infrakit respond to this demand?

Infrakit makes it possible to take BIM from the office to the worksite of every project, whether big or small. Infrakit makes it possible to really benefit from 3D designs and to connect as-built data together in real-time with the models. Infrakit makes it possible to follow project progress and makes it easy to adjust capacity to the real needs. Infrakit makes it possible to decrease failures to acceptable levels from the high levels everybody faces – until today.

The industry understands the need to improve work processes and to do that the industry sees that modern technology is the way to go. All other methods give marginal benefits, but an independent cloud solution gives big benefits and make savings in total construction costs up to 20% possible.


All your project data in one cloud platform.

Infrakit makes use of open standards and that is very much in favour of all users. All machine control manufactures do see this need as well and thus all of them have decided to open up to Infrakit to give these benefits to the market. And the market understandably is very happy with this and will benefit hugely in every project. It is a big win-win situation for project owners, construction companies and subcontractors.

Feel free to call us for live demonstration of the possibilities for your organisation!
