Two recently completed projects demonstrate the productivity increases achievable with the Hydek system.
The new Las Vegas Athletic Club was completed 28 days ahead of schedule and the mast climbing system was then moved immediately to a new Lowe's facility in North Las Vegas. The Lowe's project also was completed well ahead of schedule: the Hydek system was key to completing both projects in the time allotted for just one. While Bott did not reduce his head count on the jobs, he still achieved nearly a 50-percent reduction in labor costs because of the rapid completion of the projects. By reducing the time invested on each project, Ace Masonry is able to bid and complete more projects with the same staff.
The setup included erecting the system in bearing mode to achieve the most wall coverage. This also allowed Ace Masonry to leave the door openings unobstructed and provided easy access to the inside of the structure for other trades to complete their work more effectively. Bott's crews quickly learned and adapted to the Hydek system and are proficient in its use.
Hydek is an Atlanta, Ga.-based manufacturer of high capacity hydraulic mast-climbing systems and distributes internationally.
