Jaipur: Tekla India, a leader in bringing Building
Information Modeling (BIM) software to the engineering and construction
markets, today announced the availability of Tekla Structures 20 at its 7th
Annual User Meet here.
The newest version of Tekla’s BIM software can improve
construction workflow efficiency by providing the means to better organise
models, manage tasks and avoid structural clashes. It can also incorporate more
detailed information than ever before, according to a press note from Tekla.
Over 300 participants from industry’s leading companies such
as L&T Engineering, Prothious, ICAD, Structure Online, Simon India, B G
Shirke, M N Dastur and Alstom Engineering were at the meet.
With the new version launch, the event also aimed at
bringing together its customers to discuss the latest developments and
technologies in the rapidly growing sector and laying the foundation for BIM
(building Information modelling) adoption to this space amongst the huge
potential education market in India.
One of the main highlights of the event was Tekla India
Model Competition, which is arranged yearly and facilitates as a platform for
Tekla customers to showcase their success stories worldwide.
The model competition winners were chosen amongst total of
62 entries across five categories:
- Best Best Complex Steel Project was awarded to Insteel Engineering Pvt. Ltd. - Mexico Football Stadium
- Best Concrete Project was awarded to L&T EDRC Kolkata - Sinter Storage Building
- Best Special Project was awarded to Simon India Limited - Sulphuric Acid Expansion Plant
- Best BIM Project was awarded to FLSmidth Pvt. Ltd., Chennai - Windbox GSA Tower
- Tekla BIMagician was awarded to Design Excellence - Chemical plant Dismantling
The People’s Choice award went to Eversendai Construction
Pvt. Ltd., Chennai who made ‘TCS Signature Tower.’
Recently, Tekla India along with Trimble Buildings, a part
of the Engineering Construction segment of US-based Trimble Navigation Ltd.,
strengthens its presence in India with end-to-end Design-Build-Operate (DBO)
lifecycle.
Speaking on the occasion Nirmalya Chatterjee – COO &
Business Director, Tekla India said, “Our continuous effort is to introduce new
developments and technologies for the infrastructure industry, this year it’s
Tekla Structure Version 20. The Tekla India User Meet gives us a platform to
communicate with our customers in India as well as in the neighboring
countries, and exchange trending ideas with latest technological updates. The user
responses that we have garnered year on year has been simply incredible,
witnessing the highest number of participates from top companies in the space”.
Chatterjee further added that, “Trimble’s launch in India
through Tekla has been remarkably successful as it has proved to be of great
relevance to its growing construction and real estate market. India is a very
important market for us as we see great potential here. Our technologies enable
industry professionals such as Architects, Structural Engineers, MEP Trades, General
Contractors, and Building Owners to do their jobs better, while achieving
greater accuracy, efficiency, and cost management”.
These new technologies include a portfolio of synergistic
software and hardware helping companies to digitize workflows and minimize
rework across the Design-Build-Operate lifecycle (DBO). They are focused on
optimizing collaboration so that managing the moving parts of complex building
programs becomes easier and smarter.
As BIM penetrates construction industry processes,
architectural trends produce increasingly complex shapes, and buildings include
more refined technology, information exchange becomes progressively more
important. While information management remains at the core of BIM, building
today’s structures requires more information than ever before. Tekla Structures
20 meets this requirement by expanding the capacity of constructable Tekla
models to easily handle the large amounts of information needed to accurately
reflect the detail contained in complex build structures.
“Tekla Structures 20 contributes to the essential processes
of today’s information-intensive construction industry,” said Risto Räty,
Executive Vice President of Tekla and General Manager of Trimble Buildings’
Structures Division.
“Ultimately, construction is about collaboration. When
information is missing it is hard to work effectively with other construction
team members to avoid preventable delays and cost overruns. Tekla Structures 20
dramatically improves project team communication and collaboration by providing
the detail needed for building complex structures, offering process-improving
tools, and effortlessly working with other software applications, thereby
delivering on the promise of BIM for the construction industry,” Räty said.
New Tools for Better Information Management
Tekla Structures 20 brings even more detailed information
and flexibility to modeling, while reducing the need for manual data transfer.
Information now flows more efficiently from design, purchasing and production
to the shop floor. Tekla also provides more links to analysis and design
(A&D) solutions to remove the technical and compatibility barriers that
compromise workflow between project teams and subcontractors using different
types of applications.
To ease the management of the massive amounts of
constructable building information needed for contemporary structures, Tekla
Structures 20 also offers several improved tools:
Organiaer delivers more efficient model information
management and increased automation. Task Manager offers a systematic way to
plan detailing, fabrication and erection on site.
Clash Check Manager allows communicating, assigning,
coordinating and avoiding structural conflicts before they appear on site to
help save money and time.
