All too often in construction, complex projects get held up, or costs blow out because of the difficulty of constructing the design. Alan Jeffreys, CTO of ADDA, says 3D modelling tools means that no longer needs to be the case. As construction designs become more complex and interesting, the buildability
The Hinkley Point C UK project by Balfour Beatty plc used ADDA’s technology helped overcome significant project complexity. The Hinkley Point C UK project is the one of the UK’s newest nuclear plants. Nuclear construction requires high levels of complexity. Balfour Beatty used ADDA’s Construct software and 3D modeling to ensure
The construction industry has been one of the slowest to adopt new technologies, but as one steel fabrication company found out, doing so has transformed their business. For more than 20 years, steel reinforcement fabrication company AUSREO had built a strong business and reputation in supplying top-grade steel and processing
It’s not a chicken or egg question. When it comes to a construction project, the first commodity product on-site is rebar, and the placement of rebar precedes the concrete pour. Here’s why you should start your modeling with rebar, rather than the concrete. Although the rebar is laid before the
With every construction project needing to find ways to drive costs down, one sure-fire way to optimise your entire value chain is to use rebar modelling software at, or just after, the design phase. Early rebar modelling creates three key benefits that will improve your project (including costs and outcomes)
Five critical considerations when choosing 3D modeling software to improve your reinforcement detailing. As builds become more complex and interesting, 3D modeling software is the solution to the reinforcement challenges that project designs can throw up. With a number of 3D modeling technologies on the market, which one do you
