VR SOP Training for Asphalt & Aggregates Plants

Custom VR to standardise recipes, improve safety and reduce downtime

Asphalt and aggregate operations must manage heavy mobile equipment, hot materials and strict product specifications. Spark builds bespoke VR SOP training that mirrors your crushers, screens, conveyors, hot-mix plants, burners, baghouses and load-out—so operators rehearse start-up, recipe changes and upset recovery safely.

Sector pain points we address

• H&S risks: lockout/tryout, guarding, mobile plant interactions and hot material handling.
• Recipe control: gradation targets, moisture correction, binder % and temperature windows.
• Process upsets: chute blockages, burner trips, baghouse alarms and silo management.
• Environmental: dust, odour, noise and stormwater controls.
• Maintenance: screen changes, belt tracking, bearing checks and lubrication.

Our bespoke build method

1. SOP & CTQ capture: job mix formulas (JMF), start-up checklists, isolation points.
2. Scenario design: cold start, recipe changeover, blockages, burner/baghouse recovery.
3. AI avatar coaching: prompts for guarding checks, temperature limits and quality hold points.
4. Assessment & analytics: RFT, deviation patterns, time-to-safe-state and OEE impacts.
5. Integration: LMS links, multilingual modules, role paths for plant ops, maintenance and QA.

Operational outcomes

• Fewer safety incidents and stronger LOTO discipline.
• Stable mix quality and fewer customer complaints.
• Faster recovery from trips with reduced downtime.
• Evidence of competence for audits and client assurance.
