Steel Fabricator / Detailer

Two companies operating within the light metal framing (LMF) sector, who together have been benefitting from the added value that a model-based workflow brings.

With over 3000 tonnes of structural steelwork the challenges of designing and building this vast aircraft hanger were overcome using Tekla Structural Designer and Tekla Structures.

Hillcrest Structural employed Tekla Structures’ 3D model environment to help design, detail, fabricate and erect the steel support structure a cantilevered roof canopy.

Federated 3D models, developed down to individual reinforcement bars, produced by all disciplines were held in a common data environment for this complex railway project.

How can steel fabricators reduce the requests for information (RFIs) from site? Steve Insley explains.

What does Level 3 BIM mean for the UK's construction industry and in particular Steel Fabricators?

By using Tekla Structures and the Howick extension, Intelligent Steel were able to export NC files directly from the model to fabrication machines, increasing the speed, efficiency and accuracy.

How did Wareing Buildings use a central information management system to digitise their everyday business processes, controlling, tracking and delivering jobs?

A new footbridge bridge that spans two dual carrigeways and a live railway line - this project threw up many challenges. Read more to find out how Tekla Structures helped SH Structures to success.

This unique and beautiful building was also a unique BIM project with the 3D model at the centre of communication between project parties.

The iconic Wembley Stadium is the tallest in the world and seats 90,000 people. Read how the construction stages were analysed using Tekla Structures.

Explore the use of digital technology within steel detailing and fabrication where it is now moving beyond BIM to incorporate AR and mixed reality.

The roof of the forum, including timber elements, were modelled in Tekla and all details and general arrangement drawings were produced directly from the model.

One of the worlds most complex structures uses concrete base and steel diagrid structure to create a column free interior space.

Tekla PowerFab brings transformative results to Bennett Steel: increased production by tenfold, full traceability, accelerated work for field crews and more profitable projects.

With the fabrication process streamlined and efficient, Bennett Steel turned its attention to increasing efficiency between teams in the shop and crews in the field.
