BIM For Precast Industry

The pre-cast industry is quickly switching over to the use of 3D modeling tools and support its integration in all of their operations .BIM (specifically the Integrated Structural Model) develop an accurately detailed and highly constructible parametric modeling tool for component oriented reinforced concrete design, modeling, analysis and documentation of concrete structures.

A 3D BIM precast concrete solution not only provide model of curved and complex surfaces but also the challenge that a designer has to consider the behavior of precast elements in two conditions: as manufactured, and as erected.

All design documentation for fabrication and erection is created in the parametric model to display prefabricated parts and openings on 3D view.

BIM allows real-time collaboration between the reinforcing bar detailer, contractor and other project disciplines to create a smooth flow of information transfer.

The company streamlines the entire workflow from sales, bidding, cost estimation and conceptual design to detailing, fabrication and erection, follow-up resulting to increased productivity through 3D modeling.

Besides BIM can easily combine precast concrete with other building materials, such as steel and reinforced concrete, to promote efficient project management and error-free collaboration throughout the entire building value chain.

Tekla Structures software is a more efficient way of working for structural engineering offices. It includes a complete set of tools for working with other disciplines, enabling structural engineers to compete for more complex and prestigious contracts.
