Project

The TTMJ Trimmer development path starts from the work already completed by CCMJ Systems Ltd.  (which confirms the viability of the system) and leads into a commercial reality by undertaking the following steps:

• Specify and construct a full scale Joint Trimmer;
• Specify, develop and test the guide track system, the materials for the tension joint and water stop;
• Specify and trial the full scale Joint Trimmer in the test field;
• Specify and trial the guide track system, the tension joint and the water bar installation;
• Specify, validate and issue industry accreditation for the TTMJ System;
• Enter the final stage of the project, by creating the right conditions for presenting the new product into the worldwide market place

Work plan

The project activities have been grouped into 6 Work Packages (WP), with tasks integrated into a program.

WP1 – Project Management

The objective of this work package is to ensure an efficient management of the project by checking the achievement of each step leading towards the TTMJ Trimmer validation to the market. In this work package, the tools for ensuring an efficient coordination within the group will be implemented.

WP2 - Design and manufacture the milling machine

The objectives of this work package are to complete the design and manufacturing of the pre-production Joint Trimmer described in the CCMJ patent.

WP3 - Develop, test & manufacture the TTMJ features

The objectives of this work package are to complete the design and manufacturing of the TTMJ System features, including the guide tracks, the tension joint components and the water bars.

WP4 - Field trials

The objective of this work package is to complete a detailed programme of field trials in order to test, verify and approve the TTMJ system under actual working conditions.

WP5 - Business plan

The goal is to complete a detailed business plan that outline objectives, market strategies and financial forecasts.

WP6 - Dissemination, exploitation of results, commercialization

The objectives of this work package are to guarantee the dissemination of the project results in order to maximise its visibility, credibility and impact. TTMJ dissemination strategy will be mainly targeted on the market and industrial users. The main output of this WP are activities aimed at meeting the needs of diaphragm wall practitioners, designers and specifiers and end-users.
