Arup was founded in 1946 as part of an international firm of engineers and consultants providing design, project management and consultancy services to a wide cross-section of public and private sector clients.
Khalifa sports city tower is a 318 metre structure located in the Sports City complex of Doha. The tower was the focal point for the 15th Asian Games in 2006 and served as a torch for the olympic flame. Upon completion it now serves as a five-star hotel.
"With the introduction of Tekla Structures we can now model in both steel, concrete or any other material. The fact that Tekla Structures is a multi-material modelling system helps the structural geometry stay consistent.
The same model can be utilised for producing analysis & design results and reports. Our general arrangement drawings and documentation are 100% accurate and always reflect the current status of the project."
Ray Young, Arup.
