Skating Rink

6110 SF concrete skating rink was installed in 36 hours by 8 men.

This project began behind schedule due to a late survey. Korbis faced the challenge of reorganizing the crew and schedule in coordination with North Dakota weather obstacles to buy back lost time.

In addition to preceding scheduling delays, another major challenge was limitations within the local concrete service. The project distance from the plant and lack of available trucks meant that the pours would need to be coordinated perfectly to ensure no delays ensued from potential lapse in service.

These barriers could have had a major impact on the project completion timeline, but with implementation of strategic problem-solving, the crew was able to make up 80% of lost time, minimizing all foreshadowed delays.

Valley Gutter

A 2800 SF concrete valley gutter was installed in 10 hours with nine men.

The original project plan allotted 3 days to pour the valley gutter. After analysis, the Korbis team determined that the pour schedule could be greatly reduced by optimizing the way forms were distributed and rearranging the rebar assembly line.

With a realistic but ambitious approach to process and scheduling, the crew was able to place 700' of steel form, several tons of rebar and pour 64 yards of concrete in 90 labor hours.

110 labor hours were saved, increasing profit margins and putting the client ahead of schedule.

Car Dealership

Korbis facilitated the dealership owner's goal of self-performing their own concrete to reduce project costs.

Project progress was monitored using virtual communication technology and virtual assistance. The Korbis team provided expert guidance and problem solving as challenges arose. Korbis also assisted with subcontractor communication and schedule management.

General contractors had pushed the concrete completion date to Spring 2019, but with Korbis assistance, the owner was able to complete all concrete before December 2018.
