The six-head nuclear station at Avenmouth Port in the UK is one of the most complex concrete structures ever constructed in the UK. The highly resilient build required more than 155,000 steel bars to support a complicated cooling system, two nuclear reactors and safety designs that included considerations of a 1 in 10,000 seismic event.

ADDA for Fabricators
// Rebar Software for Fabricators
Optimise rebar production with fast project estimation, efficient delivery, and earlier engagement with project owners.
ADDA’s rebar detailing software suite enables you to estimate, forecast and fabricate more efficiently, enhancing your production of standard cut and bend, as well as identifying opportunities pre-fabrication.
Our rebar software is designed by detailers for the rebar industry. As well as improving productivity, ADDA’s solution delivers accurate rebar estimates, specifications and optimized fixing – all of which facilitate stronger relationships and earlier engagement with contractors.

Find out about some of the simple and complex global projects where ADDA has made a difference.
Circular reinforcing pattern presented significant challenges for manufacture and assembly of petroleum storage tanks. Prepared 2D and 3D concepts to help design engineers visualise the reinforcement layout, reduce waste, detect potential steel clashes, and produce detailed bar bending schedule and site marking plans.
Traditional in-situ formwork for a 60-level residential tower is slow. Identified time and cost savings in the early design stage by prefabricating 75 steel reinforced columns weighing 4.5 tonnes each.
ADDA has partnered with SteelMaster Engineering to create a new specialised rollmat detailing module for its Spinmaster machine. Spinmaster is the world’s only machine that creates reinforcement rolls without using heat or welding. ADDA’s new SteelMaster rollmat module, which sits
With a long relationship between the respective founders, ADDA and 3D Engineering Global have agreed to a new partnership. 3DE’s 100+ strong team of highly trained structural steel and rebar workforce will be using ADDA’s 2D to 5D rebar modeling
ADDA is very excited to be partnering with GMT Robotics on complex infrastructure projects across Europe, Asia and Middle East. By combining ADDA’s world-leading 2D to 5D rebar modeling capabilities with the precision of GMT Robotic’s automated rebar production, this
ADDA’s team continues to grow, with the addition of new country specialists, and a revamp of our executive team. We’d like to welcome Leathen Hanlon into the ADDA team, taking up the role of GM, North America, which is a
ADDA’s rebar detailing shape library is one of the biggest on the market, giving users easy access to uniform shapes for detailing. We’ve now added new shape libraries to ADDA to help users meet the standards and needs for Norway,
Our Founder and CTO Alan Jeffreys spoke to ConstructionTechReview about the importance of modeling your rebar first, particularly on complex infrastructure projects, to de-risk the project and reduce constructability issues. Taking this approach can create significant savings in terms of
As modern building designs have become more complex, making those designs a reality means buildability (also referred to as constructability) has become one of the largest challenges facing construction projects. To understand the extent of buildability issues in construction today,
Constructability impacting construction profits A new global survey has found the prevalence of buildability issues is as high as 80% across global complex construction projects. The industry is calling for better communication and technology to improve project profitability. With the
The global modular construction industry is expected to grow by more than 6% in the coming years, and solutions like the ADDA suite of products are key to enabling this. Great chat between our Founder and CTO Alan Jeffreys and Peggy Smedley from Connected
