Tekla’s BIM Software Improves Industrial Construction

Industrial construction project teams are looking for ways to lower costs, work more safely, and finish projects on time. Find out how Tekla software tools integrate with plant design software and fabrication machinery while providing timely access to accurate 3D modeling to improve stakeholder collaboration.

With Tekla’s 3D BIM software, engineers can manage risk more effectively while streamlining work processes. For example, when structural designs integrate equipment and piping networks, structural elements connect without unexpected clashes or delays.

Teams can identify issues, evaluate options, and resolve problems in the digital world before real-world construction begins on site. This avoids confusion, cost overruns, and scheduling conflicts.

Your team can also achieve Accurate 3D models facilitate future facility management and upgrades when the plant is fully operational more timely and accurate material quantity takeoff, delivering better financial estimating and more effective procurement. Accurate 3D models facilitate future facility management and upgrades when the plant is fully operational.

Tekla Products Help You: 

• Produce detailed 3D structural models, including materials, to support management and decision making
• Integrate with analytical and plant design software tools as well as with robotic fabrication machinery
• Improve stakeholder communication through 3D visualizations of structural elements.
• Examine potential operational and safety issues earlier in the project lifecycle
• Streamline your construction methodology by accurately calculating module centres of gravity and easily accessing related information resources

System Integration

Your team can collaborate and share information in real time with various stakeholders through Tekla’s integration and interface functionality. Tekla shares data with standard industry process planning and analysis and design software applications. It also integrates seamlessly with today’s robotic fabrication equipment.

Stakeholder Collaboration

Tekla Structures interfaces with most major process equipment and plant layout applications, such as PDS, PDMS, Smartplant3C, Cadmatic, AutoCAD, and Microstation. Your team can import changes directly from any of these planning solutions to Tekla, incorporate changes, and export structural data to fabricators on onsite crews. 

The result is better layout coordination and accurate structural information for all stakeholders throughout the construction process.

The Tekla Structures Advantage

Trimble is committed to continuous improvement through ongoing testing and development of Tekla Structures. The construction industry depends on Tekla applications to produce, integrate, and share accurate, precise, and comprehensive 3D structural models.

Tekla Structures produces 3D BIMs that offer open, readable data for manufacturers and for export to other applications. Our application is highly effective straight out of the box while also versatile and customizable to support the way your team likes to work. 

Tekla software supports all industrial construction materials and methods, including steel, timber, precast, and cast-in-place concrete. When stakeholders are fully aware of one another’s structures and materials, building components connect and fit correctly the first time.

Using Tekla Structures’ extensive library of preset design details, your team can model, store, and share a wide range of custom components like detailed connections.
