Precast Panel Detailing Case Study
Proposed Industrial Development – Accolade Avenue
Project Information
Building Type: Proposed Industrial Development
Location: NSW, Australia
Inputs: Architectural/ Structural Drawings
Deliverables: Tekla Model, GA & Shop drawings
Software: Tekla
Services: Precast Wall Panel Modeling & Detailing, Steel Modeling & Detailing
Our scope of services
Our task was to model and detail 300 wall panels using Tekla Structures software for an industrial building. The panels are 150 mm thick, and various types are included in the project such as solid panels, lintel panels, blade panels, finger panels, and retaining walls with precast slabs. Our scope also encompassed developing the Tekla model and incorporating essential connections in the panels based on structural specifications and standards. Our internal team also handled the steel modeling, making the coordination of panel-to-steel connections easier to manage.
Business Model Adopted
Challenge
Insufficient input details, coordination requirement with the steel model, and irregular footing levels posed significant obstacles.
Solution
We have sent preliminary files and received approval to proceed as insufficient input files.Managing steps on the ground during job execution proved challenging. We received several resurvey reports throughout the project, which made finalizing the panel-to-steel coordination hectic. However, we successfully managed this by utilizing a 3D model, facilitating smoother coordination. Our steel detailing team’s involvement significantly streamlined the process, ensuring the project’s success and making coordination more efficient.
