About

The King Salman International Complex for Maritime Yard (MYP) is a large-scale project aimed at establishing Saudi Arabia as a leader in global maritime production. Here are some key details:

  • Location: Ras Al-Khair industrial city on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia.
  • Goal: Become a world-class facility for offshore fabrication, new shipbuilding, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services.
  • Capacity: To handle Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) and other large vessels.
  • Zamil Steel's Role: Fabrication and supply of approximately 8,400 metric tons of pre-engineered steel structures for a major building (HULL ODDMENTS, MOULD LOFT SHOP).

Challenges:

  • Tight project schedule to meet the opening ceremony deadline.
  • Complex design with intricate steel structures, featuring cantilevered elements and requiring close coordination with concrete elements and the facade.
  • Fabrication challenges due to the large size and weight of assemblies (up to 44.5 tons).
  • Erection challenges involving heavy lifts and ensuring structural integrity.

Solutions with Tekla Structures:

  • Tekla's 3D modeling capabilities facilitated the creation of accurate models for the complex steel structures.
  • The software's rich connection library streamlined the design and detailing process.
  • Tekla Structures helped avoid clashes and ensured smooth collaboration among architects, engineers, and fabrication teams.
  • The model enabled precise detailing and data transfer for automated steel cutting and punching.

Benefits of Using Tekla BIM:

  • Exceptional Design Realization: Achieved complex geometries with high precision.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Streamlined communication and minimized errors.
  • Improved Efficiency: Facilitated faster fabrication and construction.
