Our Smart Tools
Proprietary Innovations using Big Data to reduce downtime and boost efficiency and productivity
Diaphragm Wall Container Training Simulator
Soletanche Bachy has developed a Container Training Simulator to train diaphragm wall excavation operators in all the techniques, cable and hydraulic grabs as well as the sophisticated hydrofraise machines. This is both innovative and efficient as it provides real-time training to the operator in a safe and controlled environment.
