CHALLENGE AND SUCCESS FACTORS
GULF PRECAST CONCRETE CO LLC had taken on big challenge with this project as the baseline programme was very tight after obtaining the approval on drawings form very difficult consultants, in addition, huge efforts were required from all departments to achieve the project's target in a short-time, therefore, the most important success factor that leas to a speedy start of this project was the hard work and effort of the engineers. They carried out a high degree of coordination in terms of drawing submissions, fabrication drawings for MEP, production, and installation.
The engineers even coordinated several meetings with the main contractors finalizing MEP and other services as well.
WHY TEKLA
Tekla helped a great deal for the entire design team to successfully work collaboratively. BIM is a great way to work collaboratively with the entire design team. If used correctly, it allows you to check that the design is fully co-ordinated in a way that traditional methods could never have allowed for. This reduces error, which makes the process run much more smoothly as well as protecting the initial concept.
