At BridgeFab we are experts in Building Information Modelling (BIM) as we use Tekla 3D modelling software to create a fully accurate 3D detailed models of structural steel projects and metalwork – both industrial and commercial. 3D modelling provides a great opportunity to show clients a visualisation of the finished project.
Planning projects by using the advanced Tekla 3D modelling software helps to minimise any costly surprises and ensures the project is done correctly.
The advantage of this software is that we can integrate it into our systems to provide our clients with models that minimise manual work and errors. This means less time needs to be spent on drafting and the actual project itself can start sooner.
It also allows for structural steel projects to be carried out with complete precision.
Benefits of using Tekla 3D modelling software
Creating 3D models of projects in Tekla modelling software has major benefits:
- Project managers can visualise the steel structure for approval
- Enhances communication between project parties
- Removes costly errors by testing the design
- Avoid human errors during reports, drawings and CNC
- Remove design discrepancies
- Optimises the fabrication process using intelligent interfaces
- Real-time management of fabrication
- Ability to plan which materials are required
- Manage the fabrication and erection processes
- Improves material handling (welding, cutting and assembly)
- Enhances an automated workflow
- 3D models speed up project approval
The benefits of saving on both costs and time are important as projects can avoid design and constructability issues using Tekla 3D modelling.
Another great advantage of our 3D models is that it allows you to assess the project and change anything you do not want prior to fabrication starting. From BridgeFab’s perspective, the digitised copy enables our team to see exactly how each steel piece needs to be fabricated and located in the overall design.
This technology minimises mistakes and makes installation of the steelwork much more efficient and seamless.
Steel fabrication is enhanced
3D models allow for the entire structural steel model to be fabricated with precision.
The fabrication process will utilise plans and documents linked to the Tekla 3D model, which allows for all cuts, welds, bends and more to be supported by the intelligent fabrication management software.
We have highly experienced teams
Our designers and engineers are highly specialised in designing structural steel projects using modelling software. They take an innovative and proactive approach to drive every project and ensure our workflows are as efficient, cost-effective and timely as possible.
