One of the fastest-growing engineering, architecture and construction services companies in the world, Prothious Engineering, has chosen to expand their use of Tekla Structures BIM (Building Information Modelling) software. A recent deal significantly increases their license base that serves to provide for the largest multinational firms as well as mid-sized and small companies around the globe. The company has been involved in some of the largest and most renowned projects in the world, including the World Trade Center in NYC.
"Prothious has grown to become the largest steel detailing firm in the world by helping our clients win more business and reduce their costs. Our unique service offering focuses on quality, and our rigorous engineering systems and processes have allowed us to achieve this in less than a decade. Many global EPCs and Engineering Consultants prefer the use of Tekla on their projects, and being one of the largest users and license holders allows Prothious to successfully service this market. Prothious is also one of the largest BIM services firms in the world, and using Tekla for steel and concrete framing systems has been advantageous over Revit and other BIM software because of the enhanced tolerances we are able to achieve for our client, up to 1/16 of an inch, thereby making the coordination and clash detection components of BIM much more useful," says Mr. Naresh Rawtani, president of Prothious Engineering Ltd.
"Prothious Engineering is one of the biggest and most global users of Tekla Structures software since many years. They have understood the importance of our BIM technology, which allows them to expand their own service segments from steel to concrete and precast concrete structures as well as to construction management. Global competition and new economic realities form an ever-changing market place in which we need to react to the demands of the industry. We congratulate Prothious for this big move, and strive to support them through our India operation in implementing the tools effectively, " says Andre Corniere, Director of Tekla B&C Steel Segment and Tekla India.
