Project Process
Challenges
• Their structure design firm of the boiler supporting structure provided Staad pro model as an initial input
for starting the TEKLA model. Further the task was to import the Staad model into TEKLA & work on it.
• The analysis model in Staad is always a center line model, so we need to change all members location
as per the actual input drawings.
• Steel connections were too heavy for TEKLA modeling.
Execution
• After incorporating Staad model provided by their design firm we have to change each member’s
location.
• Even design firm was to design the same structure simultaneously which we were doing in TEKLA. So
there were chances of more revisions from the design team. So to deal with it and to make it finish it in
specific time line was one of the big task.
• Tower height was 55 metre and there was a lump mass at the top of structure in the form of boiler. Such
situation makes stability of structure very instable under earthquake forces and to resist such forces
designer provided us very heavy beam-beam, beam-column, bracing connections. So to do TEKLA
model of such heavy connections was a good experience.
• The detailed shop drawings helped the client to reduce the overall installation time which further
reduced project cost & thus made the execution process smoother.
