Situation

Implement an innovative solution with a new customer

Forcit Norway had won a blasting delivery contract on a bi-tube tunnel project (7.5 km): the Forbordfjell tunnel in Stjordal, Norway. This project started using another electronic initiation system (EIS). Forcit Norway was looking for a faster, more accurate and safer alternative. Therefore, we had the opportunity to start a new partnership with them.

Challenge

Support Forcit Norway to present to their customer a new, reliable and easy-to-use initiation system solution for this tunnel in a tight schedule.

Adopting DaveyTronic Swift® proved to be a great success for Forcit Norway, surpassing expectations in various aspects. According to their customer, an estimated 15 minutes per blast were saved compared to the previous EIS technology.Nor

Today, Forcit uses DaveyTronic Swift® as their solution for tunneling in Norway and throughout Northern Europe. One year ago, Forcit Norway was not an Enaex Europe customer. Today, they are among the major clients in the region.

Stronger Bonds

We strive to build a strong partnership with each of our customers. We took the time to build a relationship with Forcit Norway: organizing technical visits to the factory in France, visiting the tunnel site to understand their needs, and supporting them in terms of logistics and training. We have adapted our original solution DaveyTronic Swift® to tailor made it to Forcit Norway’s operational needs. We are committed to improving the wire, the connector, and the packaging and creating new categories of detonators.

Today, we are very glad and thankful to be promoted by Forcit Norway in their new tenders.
