At the end of January, Edvirt performed training for Agnico Eagle Mines in Kittilä, Finland. 8 operators went through the EMSOT (Edvirt® Machine Scaling Operator Training) course, including both theory and practical simulator training.
At the end of november, Edvirt attended Fjellspregningskonferensen in Norway. A competition was held with the simulator, and in the picture the lucky winner Helene Strømsvik can be seen standing next to Kristian Storhamar from BASF.
At the end of november, Edvirt attended the Arabic Tunneling Conference & Exhibition together with BASF.
At the end of August, Edvirt performed a spray concrete training week for Barrick Gold together with BASF. Approx. 20 people got the chance to try the 3D Shotcrete Simulator™ with the included course package.
If you would like your organization to get to try out virtual spray concrete training or if you want to order a 5 days long training course including theory and simulator training, please contact adrian.hedstrom@edvirt.com
Edvirt took part of BASF's and Atlas Copco's "Sprayed concrete workshop" in Singapore in July. The around 80 participants from all over Asia got to see real spraying with the MEYCO ORUGA and got to try virtual spraying using the MEYCO POTENZA and MEYCO VERSA.
During the last 1,5 years, Edvirt has developed a simulator for training machine scaling operators. The main objective of the simulator is to educate operators and thereby gain increased production productivity and safety.

Over 300 operators at various places around the world has now gone through virtual training with Edvirt's 3D Shotcrete Simulator™. These operators have used over
19 000 m³ of concrete during their time in the simulator. "This is a small, but great step towards our vision of only seeing properly trained sprayed concrete operators in production", says Eric Göransson, CEO Edvirt AB.
Edvirt has recently finished the development of two new advanced features in the 3D Shotcrete Simulator™. Operators can now in real-time see when the concrete is hardening. This knowledge can help them to establish when it is safe and efficient to put on a second layer as well as when it is okay to walk under the concrete.
The second feature, Overbreak filling, builds on the Hardening concrete feature. This feature teaches operators to focus on spraying a smooth surface and fill an overbreak, rather than applying a certain thickness, while also teaching the operators to wait for the concrete to harden before adding more layers.
Stoyan Stoyanov from Dundee Precious Metals is the new world record holder for virtual sprayed concrete training. Mr Stoyanov completed all 18 training scenarios in Edvirt's 3D Shotcrete Simulator™ in only 8 hours, 41 minutes and 45 seconds, which is the fastest time yet. Mr Stoyanov performed his training at Blue Square's training facility in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Congratulations to Stoyan Stoyanov from all employees at Edvirt!
In november, Edvirt showcased the 3D Shotcrete Simulator™ at Bauma China 2014 together with Atlas Copco. The 300 000 m2 fair attracted approximately 180 000 visitors, whereby many got to see and try virtual concrete spraying.
In the end of 2014 Edvirt showcased the 3D Shotcrete Simulator™ at Fjellsprengningskonferensen in Oslo, Norway, together with BASF. A competition was held with the simulator which concluded with a lucky winner of an Ipad.
Edvirt took part of BASF's training course "Sprayed concrete workshop" in Hagerbach in October 2014. The around 80 participants got to try out virtual spraying with one 3D Shotcrete Simulator™. The participants also got to watch real spraying with Atlas Copco MEYCO's new spraying mobile VERSA.
As of late September this year, Marti Tunnelbau AG in Switzerland took delivery of a 3D Shotcrete simulator™ with a MEYCO Potenza robot.
As of July this year, Edvirt delivered two 3D Shotcrete Simulator's™ to Jetcrete Oz of Australia. Jetcrete Oz is one of the largest shotcrete contractors in the world. Jetcrete is proud to offer one of the best training packages to its employees. Now with the addition of two 3D Shotcrete Simulator's™ it shows the seriousness they have towards improving waste and safety.
On the 27th of May Edvirt delivered a 3D Shotcrete Simulator™ to Leaf Group Ltd. of Bulgaria. Leaf Group offers modern technology related to the underground construction industry in the Balkan region in Europe. Leaf Group serves mining companies, tunnelling contractors and metro projects with products such as accelerators and spare parts for shotcrete robots.
Edvirt took part of the "Tunnelling Days" (Tunneldagarna) at Atlas Copco's laboratory mine in Stockholm on the 20-21st. Edvirt displayed a 3D Shotcrete Simulator™ for the visitors and CEO Eric Göransson held a presentation about shotcrete operator training and certification.
Edvirt took part of BASF's training course "Sprayed Concrete Workshop" in Hagerbach in February 2014. the around 80 participants got to try out virtual spraying with one 3D Shotcrete Simulator™.
