If the MAS™ system is so easy to build, does it require training?

Posted by:

The reason the MAS™ system is so easy to build is because of three primary factors, one of which is training.

  1. MAS™ provides the bulk of the engineering required using its proprietary finite element analytical models.
  2. MAS™ provides a patented forming system and scaffolding system (SPiFolding)
  3. MAS™ provides the training necessary to construct the MAS™ system.
The training of workers is very important and requires very little time if such workers have a general understanding of their field of specialty.  Although the MAS™ system is incredibly easy to build it does take a small amount of familiarization to use the MAS™ forming and SPiFolding systems and gain experience with the MAS construction process.  Training is available in Utah or in the field as well as optional Proficiency Certification.  The engineering behind the MAS™ system is extremely complex.  MAS™ engineers have proven that the MAS system is very strong and can be built quickly.  MAS offers a set of procedures and check lists to help the Contractor achieve the desired results.
Besides the obvious need to have quality concrete and a method to verify such, it is important that the construction steps be performed in procedural order.  It is like navigating a maze.  It is easy when you know how, but difficult when you don’t.
MAS™ highly recommends that newly certified contractors work with a Contractor experienced in MAS Construction, or take advantage of MAS™ field support on their first project.
These facts should NOT discourage potential contractors from using the MAS™ system as long as they understand that building with the MAS™ system is simple as long as they know what they are doing.
