BAUER has set up the BAUER Training Center GmbH (BTC) as a subsidiary of the mother company BAUER AG. The company has been established as "Your partner for customer and business partner trainings".

A lot of modern foundation equipment is flowing into the booming construction market in India. Companies are continuously searching for new technologies to enable them to complete their projects more efficiently and in shorter timescales.

The significant progress of the development of more powerful drilling rigs is providing piling companies with increased numbers of options for the execution of foundation projects. Today, modern rigs are capable of performing a number of different foundation techniques. As a result of the remarkable developments in the area of hydraulics and electronics, drilling rigs have now emerged that are able to convert the applied energy into drilling capability with the highest degree of efficiency. Processor-controlled computer operations undertake the execution of drilling processes. They guarantee a consistent quality of execution and facilitate continuous process monitoring.

But what to do when the users - the field engineers, the operators and the mechanics - of modern equipment and processes are not able to successfully operate and maintain the equipment due to a lack of understanding and training?

How can the inherent capacity of new equipment be utilised to enhance working safety and performance with a consequent increase of profitability?

The simple and evident answer is: Education and training of staff.

For this reason, in 2009 BAUER has set up the BAUER Training Center GmbH (BTC) as a subsidiary of the mother company BAUER AG. The company has been established as "Your partner for customer and business partner trainings". BTC has worked out a well structured training and seminar programme. It includes modules for product training for Bauer equipment such as:

• Drilling rigs (Module B)
• Hydraulic grabs (Module G)
• Trench cutters (Module S)
• Piling Rigs (Module R)
• Further training modules

The seminars are offered as technical and application-oriented seminars which are designed for site managers, foremen, drilling assistants, fitters and technicians.

In this way, BTC can serve multiple target groups in the construction industry.

Seminars cover theoretical and practical lessons, which are held on Bauer?s own training site in Schrobenhausen.

If the standard service range does not meet the customer's specific training requirements in the first stage, BTC is ready to develop needs-oriented training and conduct it on your behalf.

Different trainers from different fields of expertise at Schrobenhausen, as well as BTC educated trainers at different regional locations support BTC in conducting national and international training activities.

Our trainers are professionals from various fields of expertise with direct field experience. Current qualification activities of our trainers make sure that our trainings will be conducted in a professional and methodical way.

BTC ensures high standard training with a long-lasting success by applying:

• Tailor-made training concepts
• High quality training documentation
• Wide variety of teaching aids and methods applied through:

The "Operator?s Training Program" is a world-wide core seminar for all operators who are or will be working with Bauer equipment.

What can be expected to gain from this training?

• Increased safety awareness
• Increased operating safety
• Reduction in equipment downtimes
• Decreased repair costs
• Increased efficiency (higher production output)

The theoretic part of the operator's training includes lessons about:

• Equipment
• Safety
• Equipment operation
• Equipment technology / engineering
• Equipment documentation
• Drilling methods, drilling tools and soil mechanics

The practical training is held on the Bauer training site and it focuses on several training stations where a Bauer BG drill rig is used:

Loading and unloading area, rigging and de-rigging station, drilling station, driving up and down a slope, rig tipping test area.

Our trainers impart knowledge about the Bauer product-segment in four continents. We want to give our worldwide clients an opportunity to develop themselves professionally and methodically, consolidate what has been learnt already or to acquire new knowledge.

The seminars are offered as technical and application-oriented seminars which are designed for site managers, foremen, drilling assistants, fitters and technicians.
