The Wilshire Grand construction team completed the largest continuous foundation pour ever using an app from TRUCKAST. The app allowed the concrete producer, construction manager, owners, developers, architects, engineers and truckers to be connected in real time to make critical logistical decisions throughout the 20-hour foundation pour.
“TRUCKAST provided remarkable transparency and accountability throughout the grand pour. This enabled me and other key stakeholders to be continuously informed throughout the process. These TRUCKAST benefits will carry forward through to the Wilshire Grand completion,” said Chris Martin, CEO and Chairman of AC Martin Partners and the master architect on the project.
“We bring technology to a place it’s never been in the construction industry -- the concrete pour. More than 100 people used the app during the pour in a variety of critical roles,” said Todd Davis, CEO of TRUCKAST. “This is important because the TRUCKAST app provides verification and proves compliance, critical in today’s construction industry, especially with regard to seismic standards, all with the highest possible security. The powerful and innovative cloud-based solution is easy to use and accessible from all mobile and desktop devices.”
In the past, job sites relied on paper documentation that was outdated as soon as it was printed. Now, there is no waiting around, and changes and adjustments can be made through the app.
“With TRUCKAST, suppliers and contractors have a single location for real-time and archived information that creates transparency and curbs expenses,” Davis said. “TRUCKAST software solves the problem of communication and coordination.”
