TEKLA SOFTWARE IN PRACTICE

STEEL INDUSTRY

A TRIMBLE COMPANY


2/8

aWorking with Tekla software is the most

advanced and integrated way to managedetailing, fabrication and erection of all steel

structures, such as commercial buildings,

industrial plants, sports stadiums, pre-engineered

buildings, and offshore platforms and jackets

including miscellaneous steel work.

No other tool on the market supports building

information management throughout the process,

creating new opportunities for your business.

Tekla provides a BIM-based solution to

increase productivity of especially large, data-rich

projects through higher automation of fabrication

and project management in 4D by

interfacing with MIS systems and

CNC machinery.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

THROUGHOUTYOUR PROCESS

The level of integrating Tekla to ourinternal applications is increasing,

which means less data entry and a

greater level of sophistication in data

exchange with external partners. By

modeling the structures to fabricate,

we can facilitate acquisition of

data for the bid preparation, assist

management in solving complex

construction issues, and provide the

sales force with a high-quality medium.It is much easier to manage detailing

activities using the 3D model.

Increase detailing quality

and keep it consistentwith fewer errors infabrication and erectionand always up-to-date, accurate buildinginformation availablethroughout the process.

Tekla provided an excellent interfacewith our fabrication facilities. Controlof weight, profiles, dimensions etc. wasalways available to provide accuratepurchase and follow up on the progressof the project. We were able to deliverthe steel structure three months aheadof time.

BIM BENEFITSALLSTRUCTURES

Improve information flow, eliminate duplicate

work, and reduce lead times by detailing

faster, more efficiently and productively.

Model and detail all kinds of standard profiles

and materials, including tubular and elliptical

sections as well as individual welds and bolts,

and integrate model to all offshore industry

standard packages, such as PDS and PDMS.

Become more competitive and win more

work with better bids by offering higher

project quality throughout the process.

Collaborate and communicate with other parties by improved

workflow and tighter control of jobs with integrated management

tools and by recording and tracking job history visually.

Model and detail a wide range

of miscellaneous items from

architectural metalwork, such as

balustrading, staircases, security

work and sheet metalwork,

through to structural steelwork

and refurbishment, stainless steel

fabrications, and structural glass

installations.

Produce a detailed 3D model including

foundation layout, tower components,

and connections, and create production

drawings from the same 3D model.

Avoid repetitive work or duplicated

information by adaptive PEB frame

components, customizing to company-specificrequirements, automatic drawing production,

and interfacing with other software.

Enhance customer loyalty and

satisfaction by offering a wider

range of services, allowing last

minute changes with confidence,

and reducing risks for everyone.

E-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS, MISCELLANEOUS METAL WORK, BRIDGES, TRANSMISSION TOWERS

Our investment in BIM-related technology and processes has really paid

off. Weve delivered ahead of time with virtually zero errors in the field.

This has contributed to completing the structural steel portion of a project

significantly under budget. BIM is a true team effort that requires owners

and general contractors who are willing to think outside of the box.

COMPONENTS ANDCONNECTIONSAutomate routine tasks to

create a model that represents

the real, as-built and detailed

building, by using an extensive

range of standard or custom

components and connections.

Automate connection designand detailing through

customizable rules.

DRAWINGSProduce fully integrated drawings, more

accurate material take-off, estimates and

material reports easier from the 3D model.

All drawings are associative with the model.

FABRICATIONProject management tools provide integrated

operations through the model, tracking changes,

and continually reviewing and monitoring the

entire project. Transfer data directly from the

model to estimating, scheduling, procurement,

production management, and automated,

accurate fabrication.

AUTOMATIC DATATO CNCInclude all layout information

in steel parts by scribing

technology to remove the

time-consuming and laborious

marking-out phase.

CLASH CHECKAutomate clash checking and expose conflicts before

its too late. Costly errors are minimized through

superior change management and revision control.

MULTI-USERPut several detailers on a single job with the

unique model-sharing functions.

Model and manage thebig projects that no-oneelse can handle!

Tekla can be compared to a language withsophisticated features for describing structures. Inthe Guacolda project, Tekla technology enabled usto successfully support communications betweendesigners in Japan and steel frame fabricators inChile beyond the various forms of distances.

Steel Structure and Powers System Engineering,

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, Japan

Clearly, the most significant benefit is theavailability of a single structural model fromwhich we can extract project plans and detailing,lists of materials, weights and centers of gravity.The software also allows direct interfacing to thepiping model in PDS.

OUR AMBITION IS TO MULTIPLY YOURPOTENTIAL TO THINK AND ACHIEVE BIG

Tekla is a registered trademark of Tekla Corporation in the European Union, the United States and in several other countries.

W With an ambition to multiply its customers potential to think and achieve big,Tekla provides a BIM (Building Information Modeling) software environment that can

be shared by contractors, structural engineers, steel detailers and fabricators, as well

as concrete detailers and manufacturers.

The highly detailed as-built 3D models created, combined and distributed with

Tekla software enable the highest level of constructability and production control.

Centralizing building information into the model allows for more collaborative and

integrated project management and delivery. This translates into increased productivityand elimination of waste, thus making construction and buildings more sustainable.

TWith its software, Tekla Corporationdrives the evolution of digital

information models and provides more

and more competitive advantage to

the construction and infrastructure

industries. Tekla software is used

worldwide to model all types of buildings.

Tekla was established in 1966, andtoday it has customers in 100 countries,

offices in 15 countries, and a global

partner network. Since 2011, Tekla has

been a part of the Trimble Group.
