BENDING EVOLUTION As the Industry Changes So Do Your Needs

TODAY’S CONTRACTOR CHALLENGES • Trade Skills Gap • Rising Material Costs • Margin Pressure • Condensed Timeline Requirements • BIM – Increased Complexity in Facility Designs “Some companies are being quoted 25 to 30 percent increases in future orders from steel producers." 1 Arcieri, Bizjournals.com ''Steel and aluminum tariffs, 25% and 10% respectively, have the potential to hinder construction industry profits.'' 2 Slowey - ConstructionDive.com ''The Missner Group Chief Operating Officer Bob Nomellini said the higher steel prices are not affecting projects already underway, but are...

WHY BENDING SOLUTIONS? • Planning & Design with BendWorks®: Detects errors and potential issues ahead of time, allowing to reduce scrap and increase productivity. • Bending Workflow: Increase productivity and improve bending quality & accuracy to complete jobs on time and under budget. Error Check Increase Productivity Improve Quality Reduce Scrap Improved Accuracy Arcieri, K. (2018). Steel Prices are Up, But the Tariff Spike is Coming. D.C.-Area Developers are Bracing for it. [online] Bizjournals. com. Available at:...

Estimated Scrap per 1,000 Sticks of Bent Conduit *Estimates are based on 2" Rigid Conduit Cost of $5.033/ft and proper usage of benders

SMARTER SOFTWARE DESIGNED FOR YOU. BIM technology alone can’t serve the unique needs of electrical contractors in the field. That’s why Greenlee created BendWorks® software—putting a century’s worth of electrical know-how in one program. Improved Fabrication Productivity Less Rework “BendWorks has bridged the gap between coordination and prefabrication and has become the much needed missing piece that allows our field electricians to return to being installers.” –GREG CUMMINS, BIM COORDINATOR, SCHULER-HAAS

Error Checking • Verifies design against conduit bending rules and the Greenlee bender-specific parameters Material Optimization • Optimizes conduit runs for fewest cuts and segments Waste Reduction • Reduces the conduit bone pile and workflow inefficiencies Bill of Material Accuracy • Provides output files of required conduit length and removes guesswork from conduit bill of material Quality Control and Assurance • Retains run information automatically during changes • Details output of conduit segments with unique identification for traceability on the jobsite Automated Calculations for...
