Case Study: Bruce Power reduces outage risk with Industrial Training International’s VR crane simulation

Bruce Power prepares operators across 200+ cranes with Industrial Training International (Interplay Learning)

Bruce Power, one of the world's largest nuclear generating facilities, faced the challenge of training operators to perform complex and critical crane lifts in a high-risk nuclear environment. With over 200 different cranes on-site and severe consequences for errors, they needed a way to bridge the gap between classroom theory and live equipment operation while maintaining strict qualification standards. To address this, they turned to Industrial Training International (Interplay Learning) and integrated its VR Crane Simulator into their training program.

Industrial Training International's solution provided a safe, hands-on virtual reality layer to the training, allowing operators to build core skills and practice on various crane configurations. The results included improved operator readiness and confidence, a reliable method for just-in-time training ahead of planned outages, and a robust system for ongoing skills reinforcement. This reduced the risk of outage delays and ensured that both internal and supplemental staff met the site's rigorous safety and proficiency standards before working on live equipment.
