About

Zamil Steel Saudi – Cairo Office speeds into the Tekla BIM Awards Middle East 2024 with their awe-inspiring Royal Outlook Building at the Jeddah Formula One Circuit. This project exemplifies how Tekla Structures software fuels architectural audacity and lightning-fast construction.

The Royal Jewel of F1
The Jeddah Formula One Circuit boasts a crown jewel – the Royal Outlook Building. Its unconventional, high-speed-inspired shapes defy expectations. As both fabricator and engineering partner, Zamil Steel Saudi played a key role in translating this vision into reality.

BIM: The Secret Weapon
Intricate details, tight deadlines, and cross-team coordination – the project brimmed with challenges. Tekla Structures became the secret weapon. This powerful BIM software enabled Zamil Steel Saudi to:

  • Master intricate details: Tekla facilitated precise modeling of the complex geometries, ensuring the design translated flawlessly.
  • Collaborate seamlessly: Engineers, detailers, fabricators, and construction crews worked from one source of truth, minimizing errors and streamlining communication.
  • Conquer time pressure: The software's capabilities empowered efficient workflows, even under time constraints. 3D modeling fostered visualization and faster decision-making.

Fabrication & Erection: A Dance of Expertise
Zamil Steel Saudi's expertise in fabrication and erection was instrumental:

  • Overcoming fabrication hurdles: Tight deadlines demanded three-shift operations. Tekla's functionalities aided in managing the massive volume of welded assemblies and intricate connections.
  • Swift erection: Heavy lifting equipment and meticulous planning ensured the main trusses, with a 65-meter free span and 30-meter cantilever, were erected swiftly. The first floor (1250 tons, 25 meters high) was completed in just 10 days!

Innovation Takes the Podium
The Royal Outlook Building showcases Zamil Steel Saudi's commitment to innovation:

  • Exceptional precision: The complex designs and irregular shapes were realized with remarkable accuracy.
  • Timely completion: BIM-driven collaboration and efficient processes accelerated project delivery.
  • An iconic landmark: This masterpiece of engineering and aesthetics adds to the grandeur of the Jeddah Formula One Circuit.

A Collaboration for the Win

This project exemplifies successful collaboration between Zamil Steel Saudi and various stakeholders. The effective use of Tekla Structures throughout the project lifecycle – from design to fabrication and erection – sets a benchmark for future construction endeavors in the region.
