VR SOP Training for Cement & Aggregates Plants

Safer heavy plant operations and steadier quality

Cement and aggregates sites run large rotating equipment, crushers and conveyors. Spark creates bespoke VR training that mirrors your quarry routines, kiln start/stop sequences, belt safety, sampling and maintenance isolations—so teams learn clearly without live risk.

Typical challenges

  • Start-up/shutdown: kiln warm-up, burner checks and interlocks.
  • Conveyors: pull cords, guarding, belt tracking and safe clean-ups.
  • Dust & HSE: exposure control, PPE, permits and housekeeping.
  • Quality: raw mix targets, clinker control and lab sampling.

Our bespoke build approach

  1. Capture SOPs & limits: control-room procedures and site permits.
  2. Create scenarios: crusher jam, kiln upset, belt fire drill and confined space entry.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your SCADA screens and checklists.
  4. Assess: near-miss trends, missed steps and stability outcomes.

Benefits

  • Safer sites and fewer stoppages.
  • More stable output quality.
  • Clear training records for audits.
