Client Challenges:
- The highway where the bridge was constructed was the busiest one, which challenged the construction.
- The architectural drawings lacked to the point information about steel members levels and the location.
- The structure inputs were having very few connections. Also the steel members were in form of just line sketches instead of providing actual member and that too without top of steel levels.
Our steel detailing solutions to client:
Our structural engineers and steel detailers acquired the pedestrian bridge design and created structural 3D model in Tekla and started to develop the missing steel joints to get approvals. While the steel detailing work began, the structural engineers and architect were constantly updated the drawings.
- Designs were studied for steel bridge beams, and other steel detailing needs.
- Upon the receipt of drawings, steel beam joints 3D model were developed in Tekla Structures.
- Beam-columns connections, and prefabricated elements connection with pedestrian bridge were designed.
- Final steel shop drawings along with part and assembly drawings as well as GA drawings were prepared and shared with client.
The final steel detailing drawing shared by our Tekla detailing teams were approved by the client which help the fabricator to deliver and install at site location without disrupting the traffic. Also appropriate bridge construction plan was carried out without any delays or deviations in schedules.
