Services: Precast Wall Panel Detailing
Our scope of services
Our scope was to model and detail 155 solid wall panels in Tekla Structures software. It is a commercial building, having façade covered with precast wall panels 175mm thick. We developed a 3D concrete model for coordination and concrete shop drawings in Tekla and added the necessary connections in the panels according to structural details and standards. The building had a number of cast in plate connections between each panel and grout tubes connections to the footing.

Challenge
We found the brick panel shop drawing standard difficult, compared to the client’s requirement (during project onset).
Solution
We created a sample for a particular level and had shown client for general comments. After getting the feedback we started creating other sheets. We used color in the drawings for identifying elements, elevations and footings in our output, which helped client in quick segregation.
