ADDA Projects & Articles
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.
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
