Housing in Southern Africa

21 / 40

T he concept was de-
veloped with the aim
of supporting sales
efforts and to assist in meet-
ing the demand to be more
accessible to their customer
base. The mobile unit offers
flexibility and can be sta-
tioned on construction sites,
in rural areas, at consultant’s
offices, builder’s merchants,
trade events and tertiary in-
stitutions, to name but a few.
The customised demon-
stration station is not only
visually impactful; it offers a
range of benefits as an onsite
training facility. It reduces
any down time usually as-
sociatedwith training awork
force. Training can be done
in areas much further afield
than Gyproc’s formal train-
ing facility, and many more
contractors will have access
to the training being offered.
Saint-Gobain’s
mobile onsite
facility
With the growing need to facilitate onsite training
and increase accessibility and technical support
to the Saint-Gobain Gyproc product portfolio, the
Gyproc technical team has developed a mobile
wall and ceiling demonstration trailer.
The training further affords
the professional team the as-
surance that installationswill
be carried out in accordance
with Saint-Gobain Gyproc’s
standards.
The unit was recently un-
veiled at the University of
Pretoria where a class of sec-
ond year architectural stu-
dents attended a two hour
demonstration on dry wall-
ing and ceiling installations.
Onsite training took place at
the Eldoraigne Retirement
Village development, who
invited Saint-Gobain Gyproc
to demonstrate the installa-
tion of their ceiling systems,
which had been specified.
