11:45Precast Concrete Lifting Inserts *COG Tool*
In this video, we discuss how to utilize the Lifting Inserts custom component. This tool is designed to help aid the modeler in placing lifters about the center of gravity for all of their standard p
3:09When you detail elements that repeat in your project you can choose between several ways of doing it efficiently. Watch this video to learn three alternative ways of handling repetition.
6:44Tekla intelligent 3D BIM software helps precast fabricators work more efficiently. Tekla software helps at every stage of the process to ensure error-free project delivery in time and on budget.
3:42Automatically create precast floor layouts, model footings, columns and slabs and place embeds to correct location by using designer's DWGs. Skip numerous modeling steps - improve your productivity.
3:25This application converts IFC slabs or walls to Floor Layout or Wall Layout component. Easily convert Architect or Engineer model to precast solution.
With the right tools, you can rest easy knowing your documents are up-to-date, error free and clearly communicated to the jobsite and factory.
BIM brings value and efficiency also to small precast projects like the award-winning One Theater Square Parking Garage.
Betset, one of the largest precast concrete companies in Finland, is taking advantage of real-time, automated and open data exchange in their business.
1:08:21Learn how the most advanced, purpose-built BIM software, Tekla Structures, improves productivity of precast detailers and producers.
Luminary is a multiform high rise building with very strict tolerance demands. Success relates to model-based design and collaboration as well as sharing and utilizing model data on site.
The BIM-based design has been at the core of the project right from the start. This Finnish hospital project got the special recognition award at the Tekla Global BIM Awards 2018.
3:10New design-to-cost tool makes it significantly faster to do value engineering and find the most economical solutions for your precast projects working directly in Tekla modeling environment.
Loe Betongelementer Integrates Tekla Structures to their Workflow
Thanks to BIM, the company finds possible errors already with the model which saves plenty of time and money compared to recognizing errors in production phase.
With the new technologies reshaping the construction industry, Pittsburgh Flexicore set out to implement BIM principles throughout its sales, estimating, production and erection business practices.
Pushing BIM into the Field
Valuable time and accuracy can be lost by manually scaling distances, calculating angles from plans, turning angles with theodolites, and pulling tapes to measure distances.
Here’s how you can win more bids, improve profitability and optimize the entire precast workflow.
Kynningsrud Prefab: Tekla Structures Allows Easy Coordination Between Both Steel and Concrete Structures
The project was relatively detailed and complex. We needed to erect new elements between existing ones. The 3D model was our main reference point, enabling us total control over the entire project.
Fondation Louis Vuitton: A Dream Come Constructable
BIM increased clarity and project understanding throughout the project team and supply chain, resulting in faster cycle times and more automated higher-quality fabrication processes.
Kassian Dyck & Associates could not have detailed the total precast building to the fast-track schedule without the extensive 3D modeling benefits provided in Tekla Structures.
