We know that investment in digital transformation in
construction increases productivity and reduces costs, partly by avoiding
mistakes and the associated revision costs.
With this in mind, GRAHAM has pioneered an AR app with the
GRAHAM Academy that supports the conventional training methods and helps
increase knowledge of identified problem areas, improves operational skills and
enhances safety behaviour.
A roll-out of the app in 2019 proved highly
beneficial during the pandemic when much of the training moved online.
Engagement with the app by GRAHAM graduate engineers is high thanks to the
app’s interactive qualities and engaging interface.
Michael McCusker, Head of Quality – (Civil Engineering) said
“At GRAHAM we recognise the important
role digitisation plays in back to basics training and prevention of errors on
sites, contributing to our reduction in waste targets, safer working
environments for our site teams and continued strides towards Net Zero by
2040. The AR app we have developed has been enthusiastically received by
our graduates for its simplification of common problem areas, it’s aid to
reducing guesswork and the support it provides them on their development path.”
As members of GIRI (Get It Right Initiative), Head of
Quality (Civil Engineering) Michael McCusker and Quality Manager, Sally
Postle, will be speaking at the technology-themed GIRI members’ meeting on 17th
May in London, in a discussion on how GRAHAM Group use augmented reality to
enhance its Academy Development Programme.
