MUMBAI, India, June 4, 2014 – BG Shirke Construction Technology, the largest precast concrete company in India, has chosen Tekla as building information modeling (BIM) technology partner and software provider. The technology partnership aims at providing better infrastructure to the society by switching over to unified e-platform in precast design and construction on mass scale.
The goal of the technology partnership is to design and execute even more highly detailed precast structures. This endeavor will result in better and modernized buildings by synchronizing activities from the designing of the project till execution thereby avoiding and time overruns.
“Our objective right from the beginning is to modernize by total transformation into automation of civil engineering. With help of Tekla BIM software we can make our building processes more effective and manage the risk of unforeseen costs and loss of time,” says Mr. Yogesh Kajale, VP, planning and design, BG Shirke Construction Technology. He further added, “Tekla BIM software enables us to integrate design and detailing with manufacturing, project management and efficient information sharing, which helps us to minimize manual work and errors. This is important as today all structures need to be modularly planned and erected speedily.”
“Partnership with the BG Shirke Construction Technology gives us an immense opportunity to work more closely with their engineers and project team. At Tekla, we help precast companies like the BG Shirke Construction Technology manage and optimize their processes, minimize errors and waste and in the end win more tenders,” says Mr. Nirmalya Chatterjee, Tekla India business director.
Tekla’s BIM software lets users accommodate changes in the design flexibly, while visualization creates better understanding of the project and makes problem areas easier to identify. Tekla users can avoid errors in drafting, and improved scheduling with model-based 3D platform, provide better quality and create end product faster. Tekla provides software tools that work with precast elements including beams, columns and slabs.
