Precast Concrete

Tekla Structures is much more than design and detailing software for the precast concrete industry.  It is the most accurate and comprehensive parametric 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling) tool on the market. Tekla Structures streamlines the entire workflow from sales, bidding, cost estimation and conceptual design to detailing, fabrication, erection and follow-up. 

Increased productivity through 3D modeling

The precast industry is rapidly shifting towards the use of 3D modeling tools. The biggest benefit for precast fabricators is increased productivity through more effective detailing and production processes. Such efficiency results in elements being produced on schedule and delivered as a perfect-fit solution. The key benefits of using the Tekla Structures 3D modeling solution include

  • Winning more tenders through accurate estimation
  • Effective detailing
  • Integration with fabrication
  • Easy project follow-up
 

Integration with other systems and materials

Tekla Structures software allows integration with other systems such as production or resource planning and machine automation systems as well as company-specific solutions, making the production process more effective.
 
This is enabled by a set of interoperability tools that allow integrating with other best-of-breed third-party products and building disciplines through, for example, Tekla Open API™, an open interface that can be used for special integration or development purposes.

In addition, Tekla Structures easily combines 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.
