Project Challenges Resolved for Top Structural Engineering Firms by Tekla BIM

Challenges: Challenges:

• Collaboration Issues • Structural Panels with Diverse Precast Components • Short Deadline for Shop Drawing Creation • Difficulty in Maintenance of Numbering System of Reinforced Panel • Time-Consuming Use of Repetitive Custom Components from Hardware

1. Challenge & Solution – Collaboration Issues

Challenge:

Structural steel detailers, BIM Modelers, and structural engineers work with multiple users across diverse zones, across the world. Often, a precast concrete project involves 40+ people in varied segments for executing structural BIM model. Subsequently, it becomes difficult to proceed with the project smoothly. Structural engineers necessitate an effective collaborative software application for improving productivity and executing construction flawlessly. A cloud server for structural model sharing becomes crucial for easy access of model as per time zones.

Solution:

Tekla Software application facilitates multiple stakeholders involved in the project to work simultaneously in cloud server across diverse time zones of the world without any trouble using master model sharing.
