The Facade also has unique sawtooth cladding within facade area. As the BIM LOD300 requirement, Tekla performed fantastic output in terms of profile shape and size compared to other market lead design/Modelling software. As to the project BEP, Parameters like Design and Assets was satisfied with workflow between Tekla Structures and Autodesk Revit software.Â
ASSENT Steel Industries LLC acted as the fabricator for this project, handling all aspects from connection design and detailing to fabrication, erection, and coordination. Tekla Structures played a key role in their success strategy. They used Tekla for collaboration with other disciplines like FACADE, RCC, and MEP, streamlining communication and avoiding errors. Tekla also helped manage the complex presetting of the 2500 mt roof steel to achieve the desired camber after erection.
Overall, Tekla's 3D modeling capabilities contributed to facilitating faster execution and improved communication, keeping the project on track.
