Challenges

The project required sequential shipment with stringent deadlines

The inputs received from the client was missing multiple details, which were necessary to maintain accuracy

Solution

Our structural steel detailers and engineering team collaborated to generate the missing information in the client data. The project required steel detailing for Terminal, Garage and Site, each consisting of steel trolley protection railing, automatic gates, elevator hoist beams along with pit access ladders and other miscellaneous steel members.

We developed detailed erection drawings and fabrication drawings for all the steel members involved in the structural development of Terminal, Garage and Site.

A weekly meeting with the client by sharing the model through BIM 360 Glue, helped in gaining faster approvals of erection drawings.

Detailed assembly drawings and part drawings were also prepared for all the steel members. The project was completed on schedule successfully.
