One of the largest Consulting Engineering firms in the world Prothious Engineering Services recently closed a deal of more than one hundred new Tekla Structures software licenses to India.
Tekla India became a full-span area office for Tekla Corporation in Mumbai in March 2007. After that more and more engineering companies have realized the strength of Tekla technology and are becoming early adopters of Tekla Structures software in India. Prothious Engineering Services has recently added to its license base by more than one hundred new licenses. Prothious is one of the largest detailing companies in the world with an annual detailing capacity of over 100,000 tons. The company has two offices in India: one in Nasik and one in Mumbai.
Says Mr Naresh Rawtani, President at Prothious Engineering Services: "With the right technology, the cost of detailing services can be as little as one third of industry prices. In many cases our clients tell us that they are able to win business due to the savings that our detailing costs provide. This is very much thanks to industry software forerunners such as Tekla."
"By enabling the creation of the most accurately detailed and data-rich building information models on the market Tekla provides structural engineering the best constructability there is," says Tekla India Director, Mr Ajit Mohite. "This deal is a real break for Tekla among the tight competition in India. It is yet another indication that industry pacesetters are moving on to BIM fast, and companies are making strategic decisions to support the BIM process."
