Pioneering Excellence in Construction Technology
The Concrete Contractor Top Product Awards honor equipment, tools, and technology that significantly advance the construction industry. Winners are selected for their innovation, practical impact, and ability to improve productivity, safety, and efficiency on the job site.
Our simulation-based training solutions developed in collaboration with Somero Enterprises exemplify these values. By harnessing the power of virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR), we’ve created cutting-edge training tools that allow operators to learn complex machinery in risk-free, highly realistic environments—ultimately helping construction companies enhance performance, reduce downtime, and prioritize safety.
The Power of Partnership
At the heart of this award is a strong collaboration between ForgeFX Simulations and Somero Enterprises. As a leading manufacturer of laser-guided and technologically advanced concrete leveling equipment, Somero brought deep industry expertise and a commitment to innovation to the table. Combined with our experience in simulation development, the result is a best-in-class training solution tailored to the specific needs of the concrete construction industry.
Together, we set out to solve real-world challenges—like the high cost and safety risks of training new operators—by offering immersive training modules that accelerate learning and allow for repeatable, measurable practice in virtual environments.
Why Simulation Training Matters
As the construction industry grapples with a skilled labor shortage and evolving technology demands, simulation-based training is becoming a game-changer. It provides:
-
Safe environments for learning high-risk operations
-
Faster onboarding and skill development for new operators
