Steel Structures

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.

What are the benefits of modular construction?

Great examples which demonstrate the versatility of modular construction and show that it's quicker, smarter and environmentally friendly.

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.

Railway stations are often challenging, especially when underground, but Tekla Structures helped Hewson Structural Engineers with this complex project.

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

Parametric or data driven design is here, but what is next? Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning might be the future.

Links between different softwares facilitates the use of parametric design for bridges and other structures.

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.

A combination of Tekla Structural Designer and Tekla Structures helps production of coordinated construction information and drawings for temporary works, retained structures and permanent works.

Pinnacle Consulting Engineers utilises Tekla Structure to design and 3D model complex offshore gas and oil projects such as Leman Alpha ICCP.

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

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.

Stuart Campbell, Business Development Manager, Engineering at Trimble discussed the six ways BrIM can help bridge construction projects succeed.

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.
