The model was done by TTJ Design & Engineering for Taisei Corporation and is a pressurised steel structure chamber for a special tunnel boring machine (TBM).
It consists of two man locks to provide access to operators, one material lock for material cart to transport excavation moves forward, Bulk Head, Reaction Frame, Ring Segment, Main Chamber, two Material Lock Hatch Doors and six Man Lock Hatch Doors to satisfy the requirements of air locks for tunnelling machine.
TTJ used Tekla Software for the whole model and it is really beneficial especially when it comes to Rolled plates. Since it has given precise information by software, both time and cost saving are very obvious for sourcing, rolling, cutting and forming etc.
Tekla BIMsight was also used to connect and to discuss with other departments on what was needed to be done and what was the best solution for fabrication, operation etc.
