Four steps. One closed loop. From engineered plans to compliance documentation in a single install motion.
Traditional foundation workflows separate installation from documentation. FORMA eliminates that gap. The FD-1 installer captures all compliance data in the same motion it drives the screw.
There are no additional recording steps. No separate reporting phase. When the install is complete, the documentation is complete.
You begin with approved engineered plans defining screw size, spacing, embedment depth, and target torque values. These parameters are loaded into the FORMA system before installation begins. Design intent is locked in before the first screw turns.
The FD-1 Installer drives each screw to the specified depth and torque. As you install, the system automatically logs torque, GPS location, timestamp, installer ID, depth, and verticality. There are no additional recording steps in the field. You install. The machine documents.
As each screw reaches target torque, the system confirms compliance with engineered requirements and AC443 limits in real time. You know immediately when each footing meets specification. Verification occurs during embedment, not after. There is no post-install inspection required to confirm structural performance.
When installation is complete, a compliance-ready project record is automatically generated and securely stored. The record includes a screw-by-screw installation report, torque validation summary, GPS-based location traceability, installer identification, and a project-level compliance summary. Documentation is ready for AHJ submission without additional paperwork.
The FD-1 captures a complete digital installation record for every screw, automatically, at the machine level. No manual entries. No separate logging tool.
The FORMA compliance record is designed to make inspector review straightforward and defensible. Every data point is objective, traceable, and secured against alteration.
Individual installation data for every screw in the project: torque, depth, GPS, timestamp, installer ID, and compliance status.
Project-level summary confirming each screw's measured torque against the engineered target and AC443 compliance threshold.
GPS-based mapping of every screw location, tied to the engineered layout. Verifiable from the record without a site visit.
