Intergeo 2021 experience

Intergeo 2021 Hybrid in Hannover has come to an end after three days of live and digital interaction. The atmosphere was buzzing with joy for the chance to interact face to face with customers and partners. For us this was the first event in almost two years.

Our stand design was completely redesigned by Wulff Entre and was well received by the crowd.

“This years Intergeo has excelled our expectations in many ways. First of all, it was a great opportunity to meet our customers face to face again after such a long time of digital meetings. We also acknowledged the huge interest in a digital infrastructure construction and digitization workflow that is helping the customers towards a sustainable and more efficient construction process. Our decision to bring product management and BIM field experts to this Intergeo has been very well received by the professional visitors and might be something to extend to other exhibitions as well.”

Our Services team’s live demos were a success at the event.

Day two of the expo started off with lively conversation with customers and partners.

Mikko Siivola our BIM Specialist and Customer Success Lead was at Intergeo for the first time with Infrakit. “I enjoyed meeting customers and partners live. The last time was a while ago. The atmosphere was great, and our stand was visited by professionals from several different infrastructure areas. It was great to see that we could have some input for all of them and for them to see the benefits Infrakit can provide them in their work.

The Sales – Services co-operation at the fair was also excellent. I did expect a bigger turnaround but the bright side to this is that there were fewer tourists and more relevant people at the event.

Overall, I’m left feeling quite positive about the experience. I was surprised by how many machine and software providers want to co-operate with us. I look forward to seeing how many of these come to fruition. Plus, we had a nice stand.”

Thank you to everyone who visited us at Intergeo this year and see you next year in Essen!

Infrakit’s real-time view saves costs and effort in infra projects

In the last benefits for owners blog we told you about overall quality improvement that Infrakit helps achieve.

With the platform construction’s overall quality is improved by real-time monitoring. Real-time view of the project enables you to fix errors and make quick changes, when necessary. This saves time and helps you stay within the schedule.

In this blog we’ll talk about how our single system architecture saves you both cost and effort while ensuring efficient asset maintenance and real-time data for everyday work from project leader to builder.

Efficient asset maintenance

On case E16 Eggemoen – Olum BIM coordinator Mohammed Ziani says they have four workspaces consisting of two main projects, a side road and an action road. He states that Infrakit has made the interaction between these spaces easier.

“Infrakit makes that connection easier. There are some basic data that belong together in all the workspaces, so I get a simple overview of them. If there is information that must be sent to the intervention road, then it is practical to retrieve files and transfer them to the space that we share with the contractor. “

Real-time data for everyone involved

Infrakit collects real-time data from the worksite to provide all parties with up-to-date information on how the site is progressing. This information is available on different devices from computers to smart phones.

” While planning the pilot project, we wanted to take advantage of Finnish experiences and know-how – that’s why we chose Infrakit platform. The biggest advantage of Infrakit evolves in construction process, where you can take the whole project documentation everywhere with smartphone or tablet. It is also possible to get access in every PC without owning any specific CAD or design software. And finally, we have an option to check the design solution in 3D.”

Anti Palmi, Manager of Road Construction and Maintenance Division in Estonian Road Administration, explains in pilot project T22 Torma-Levala overlay

Infrakit helps to improve quality control for infra owners

In our previous blog we talked about streamlining infra owner’s project management. To help answer the rising demand for digitalization and sustainability in the infrastructure sector, Infrakit provides a cloud platform to help you manage your projects efficiently.

In this blog we’ll discuss quality control improvements in infra projects.

Built correctly from the start with automatic quality documentation

Infrakit ensures that all project parties can work efficiently without wasting resources with the bonus of documentation being completed simultaneously.

Because of our continuous documentation for progress, quality control and handover materials, you can easily stay on top of what’s being done at the worksite and make sure everyone works with the correct information from the start. This helps avoid unnecessary reworks which saves time and costs.

Project Manager Kadi Tuum from the Estonian Transport Administration said “We had problems with the quality of the lower asphalt surface. I asked the site engineer to register all the places in Infrakit with a picture, where the lower asphalt pavement had defects. After a few years when the top asphalt might have defects, it’s easy for me to inspect the site using Infrakit Field app to disassemble the situation that was at this particular location.”

“All plans and real-time quality assignments are handled through Infrakit. This is important for the owner 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.”

Overall quality improvement

With the platform construction’s overall quality is improved by real-time monitoring. Real-time view of the project enables you to fix errors and make quick changes, when necessary. This saves time and helps you stay within the schedule.

“From my point of view as the Quality Manager, Infrakit makes monitoring the project in the field so much easier. There is no need to travel 35 kilometres for every little thing when I can just check it from my PC screen at the office. I am not tied to a time or place. It has been a big relief — I can see in real-time how the project is progressing”.
