In recognition that the South African construction industry must embrace innovation to successfully adapt to the ‘new world of work’ amid the coronavirus pandemic, Peikko Southern Africa is hosting a series of webinars to drive progress in the industry. The company, headed in Finland and with a growing presence in Southern Africa, specialises in slim floor structures and connection technology for precast and cast-in-situ applications.
Industrial Connections for Precast Construction
The first webinar is scheduled for 1 July at 10h00, and will be hosted by Peikko Southern Africa MD, Daniel Petrov alongside Peikko product expert, Petri Suur-Askola. It will discuss the company’s industrial connections for precast construction, giving you deep insight into how you can revolutionise and optimise the way you work through using new technology.
The webinar series is aimed at developers, engineers, PQS, architects and contractors and will introduce them to methods and tools to enable faster and more efficient project delivery. These methods can help construction teams make up for the valuable time lost due to lockdown and workforce restrictions.
Daniel Petrov comments: “In the past, when you ran out of time on a project you would bring more staff on site to speed things up. Now, as we are dealing with operating amid strict social distancing, this is no longer an option. Construction sites need to deliver quickly while operating with smaller teams. With Peikko products, this can be achieved, giving you the competitive edge when competing for contracts.”
What to expect
For the developers, the webinar will discuss how business and operations will change amid the pandemic and will show how new construction methods will add value for your clients, saving time and money. It will also demonstrate the improved return on investment achievable. For example, instead of working on a project for two years, the webinar will show how you can finish it in 12 months.
For consultants, you will learn about standard details that your draftsman can easily follow up on, saving months on detailing and offering standardisations. Peikko’s plug-and-play solutions are sure to save you time and improve your efficiency.
Contractors will learn about precast construction where minimal to no propping is required for columns, beams, slabs and stairs. Peikko’s self-supporting solutions will revolutionise construction sites in South Africa.
