2 Tekla Tekla develops and markets software products and services for customers core business processes in: construction and energy distribution & infrastructure management Founded in 1966 Tekla Corporation acquired by Trimble Group in July Almost 600 employees globally, approx. 300 outside Finland 60m sales 2011 Over 80% of net sales outside Finland Research and development expenses over 25% of net sales

3 Tekla BIM software Accurate and data-rich 3D environment Highly detailed as-built building information models providing constructible data. Specialized solutions and configurations for: Main contractors Structural engineers Steel detailers and fabricators Precast and cast in-situ concrete detailers and manufacturers FREE application for model-based project collaboration and communication between all project disciplines

12 Interoperability IFC COBie

13 Can be used directly for layout in the Field by most trades Using Trimble s Layout Solutions to Improve BIM to Field Layout Put paper plans away Digital Model Trimble LM80 & Trimble Field Link

14 As-built Checks of Critical Rebar Placement

15 Contractors BIM Adoption We are seeing a huge increase in the interest in BIM from contractors and the number of implementations, though mainly in the pre-construction phases and COBie data of course Status tracking is a key trend Author 15 15

16 Leadenhall Tower The Cheesegrater

17 Case study of the Cheesegrater Building Laing selected ArtrA to provide a solution for: Tracking steelwork, prefabricated M&E modules, precast concrete slabs and glass cladding. Using RFID technology linked to a BIM model Link with Avonwood to gather and import location data

18 Quotes from Laing O Rourke s website -profile location characterised by narrow and densely populated streets along remarkably tight footprint, including the cores, basement and building services was constructed off site. However, with components of up to 26 metres in length this creates its used BIM to perfect its strategy for just-in-time BIM) can be used to render a data-rich replica of the project in real time. Going forward, this technology will be used to enhance project controls and against these develop robust key performance indicators

19 First task was to integrate the Tekla model for BIM Data

20 Data was imported from Tekla using IFC format

21 It was found that each object of a assembly had the same ID

22 An ArtrA tag was linked to the results, allowing the assembly to be treated as one object.

23 Automatically populated values from Avonwood s database

24 RFID Readers Portal setup at Fab. Yard Portal setup at Site

25 Monitoring process Dates

26 Creating report in Excel format

27 Using the Excel report to calculate tonnage of steel arrived on site.

28 Colour coded location status of selected items

29 ArtrA report in html format

30 Colour view of floor steel status

31 Colour view status of floors 19 to 26

32 Key outcomes... A common identifier is essential Model must represent the construction process Common tagging system must adopted Choice of tag type (passive/active) depends on use and location Attachment point of the tag considered during fabrication Site personnel informed of the importance of the tags/portals and their purpose

33 Benefits of using RFID linked with BIM Instant, accurate tracking Clarity of progress on all sides Sign off and payment process is transparent to all Automated data flow saves human error Contractor able to change delivery process to further save costs Fabricator had to make this project top priority as it was being so accurately tracked!
