Tekla Announces Global BIM Awards
Competition Winners
 ATLANTA, GA and PORTLAND,
OR, Jan 20, 2010 - The first Tekla Global BIM Awards competition was arranged in the end of 2009.
It gathered and showcased the building information models and descriptions of
more than 40 of the most exemplary construction projects around the world.
Entries to the Global BIM Awards competition were the winners of regional
Tekla model competitions held by Tekla area offices and resellers during
2009. The competition was divided into three categories: BIM, steel, as well
as concrete and other projects.
The winners are: Expo 2010 Finland Pavilion Kirnu modeled by Lemcon
(China) Co. Ltd. (Best BIM Project); Aldar HQ modeled by William Hare (Best
Steel Project, UAE); Texas Children's Hospital modeled by Coreslab
Structures (Best Concrete Project, US). The Crusell Bridge modeled by WSP
Finland Oy was awarded a special recognition, and the Capital Gate Tower
modeled by Eversendai (UAE) won the open web vote. These companies will be
rewarded locally by Tekla area offices during the spring 2010.
The winners of the competition were chosen by a jury of leading BIM
experts in the world: Professor Charles Eastman of Georgia Institute of
Technology, and Vice Chair of buildingSMART Korea Inhan Kim; Tekla was
represented by CEO Ari Kohonen and Executive Vice President Risto Räty.
"Tekla users are able to manage details of design, fabrication and
construction that show the whole field of building and construction what is
possible to achieve by building information modeling," said Chuck Eastman.
"The Crusell Bridge is one of several beautiful examples of a complex
engineering project and of the use of BIM-related control systems for
managing the design and construction."

Tekla Structures
Tekla's technology creates new opportunities for the construction
industry. Tekla Structures, the most advanced BIM (Building Information
Modeling) software on the market, provides an accurate, dynamic, and
data-rich 3D environment that can be shared by contractors, structural
engineers, steel detailers and fabricators, as well as concrete detailers
and manufacturers. The highly detailed as-built structural models created in
Tekla Structures enable the highest level of constructability and production
control. Centralizing model and non-model based data into the model allows
for more collaborative and integrated project management and delivery. This
translates into increased productivity, elimination of waste, and an
enhanced value for structural modeling.
