The new building was
specifically adapted by Schulz to meet the requirements for
manufacturing and servicing a Light Weight Deflectometer for load
bearing capacity tests. It is particularly noteworthy that all employees
could be retained due to the proximity to the old site. "The move went
smoothly. We were able to handle all orders and service requests without
interruptions or waiting times for our customers in road construction,
civil engineering, sewer construction, pipeline construction, as well as
garden and landscape construction. I believe no one even noticed that
TERRATEST had moved," CEO Frank G. Schulz happily reports on the smooth
relocation process.
To continue ensuring the usual fast
TERRATEST service and calibration process, the company already set up
two new calibration stands at the new site by the end of last year,
which were approved by the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt).
"Two more calibration stands are already under construction. Their
approval by BASt according to TP BF-StB Part B8.3 is planned for the
fall of this year. This will give TERRATEST a total of four calibration
stands at the Nassenheide site, ensuring short processing times for
service and calibration according ASTM E2835-11 of our Light Weight Deflectometer," explains Dr. Bernhard Korsch, Calibration Manager at
TERRATEST. "The approval of the first two stands by BASt was completed
in less than two hours. We further modified our software and application
during the construction of the stands to optimize calibration," Dr.
Korsch continues.
Another highlight is the return of
Erik Söhring, an experienced former employee who rejoined the TERRATEST
family just in time for the start-up. After an eight-year absence,
Söhring is taking over production management at the new location. "I am
excited and highly motivated to take on the production management at
TERRATEST. It helps that I am already well acquainted with the
technology. However, the company has developed tremendously in recent
years," says Erik Söhring. "The primary focus now is to optimize all
workflows and processes in the new hall to ensure short processing times
for the benefit of our customers," Söhring adds.
The
new site not only offers improved logistical connections but also
modernized working conditions for the employees. The new hall is
equipped with the latest technological standards and provides ideal
conditions for the production and service of light drop weight devices.
This significantly contributes to increasing efficiency and improving
product quality.
With the move to the new facility,
TERRATEST GmbH is setting a clear signal for the future. The company
demonstrates that it is not only capable of adapting to changing
conditions but also continuously works to improve its services and
products. The new location in Nassenheide marks an important milestone
in the company's history and provides the best conditions for further
growth and success.
By modernizing and expanding its
capacities, TERRATEST can now better respond to its customers' needs and
meet the high demands of the market. The proximity to Berlin and the
excellent transport connections also make the location attractive for
international business partners and customers.
Thus, TERRATEST GmbH looks optimistically to the future and is ready to take on new challenges. With a strong team, state-of-the-art technology, and a clear focus on customer satisfaction, the company is committed to remaining a leader in the industry and solidifying its position in the market.
