New solutions for modelling, engineering and fabrication to reduce timescales
Timescale savings are becoming mainstream in offshore projects. Traditional ways of working with 2D CAD drawings demand traditional working methods by assigning standalone CAD files to individual team members, creating high risks for misunderstanding, overlapping and errors that cause delays.
While working with 3D models, the data is integrated in one model that all project members are working with. This facilitates team working, reduces errors and brings significant time savings. 3D modelling can support the whole workflow from designing to fabrication and installation.
Tekla Structures is a tool for creating detailed 3D models of all types of Offshore/EPC projects. Efficiency is gained by seamless integration with all industry standard packages, such as PDS, PDMS, SM3D and SP3D. A model created with Tekla is a fully detailed simulation of the complete project containing all structural elements and details. Fabrication can be automated by integrating the model into leading MIS softwares and all types of CNC machines and synchronizing production feedback into the model. The model can be worked on simultaneously by engineers, project managers and detailers, or any other party wishing to view or control the project.
Tekla's technology creates true savings for the offshore industry. Find out more how you can reduce man-hours from engineering, shorten the schedule in overall Offshore/EPC projects and achieve more efficient transfers of information from engineering to procurement and fabrication.
