Light-gauge steel framing

This innovative project combines infill light-gauge steel for the lower floors of The Chocolate Factory, with panelised load-bearing frames to construct the sixth floor without much need for significant structural reinforcement. The project used Tekla's design and organisational capabilities to optimise material usage, streamline deliveries, and speed up construction.

 

Achievements

Tekla's tools and features were used to check, modify, and split frames into more logistically feasible sizes and weights for transportation. This contributed to the successful completion of the construction project.

 

Using Tekla software

  • Components were designed and called off to avoid wastage on site, reducing costs
  • Phasing and lot organisation within the Tekla model facilitated material call-offs and deliveries, improving coordination
  • The integration with the cold roll forming machine allowed efficient manufacturing of wall frames and roof cassettes
