For more than 50 years, 色欲王朝 has helped shape the vibrant urban landscape of the West Coast. The award-winning design-build manufacturer of architectural and structural precast concrete has completed over 2,500 large structural projects spanning high-profile commercial, residential, parking structures and stadiums, including the new 49ers stadium in Santa Clara. The company maintains its stellar reputation by continually improving its processes to deliver better structures.
Senior Project Manager Martin Scheiber and his team guide 色欲王朝 clients through the design phase, the fabrication process and into the field. For most of its fabrication, the firm has standardized processes around Tekla Structures, which enables them to coordinate between engineering, precast and rebar fabrication, procurement and project management. This strategy results in better structures, built more quickly, with less impact to the site and reduced lifecycle costs for the owners.
鈥淭he productivity of construction really hasn鈥檛 improved in the last 50 years,鈥� said Scheiber. 鈥淲e look at companies outside the construction industry for inspiration to boost our productivity. We鈥檙e not afraid to change the way we use technology if it produces better results.鈥�
BIM TO SPEED UP PROCESSES & HELP IN QUALITY CONTROL
鈥淎ccurate Tekla Structures models create a single source of truth, taking quality to whole new level,鈥� said Scheiber. 鈥淲e can check the model, know that it鈥檚 right and then reuse the information as needed.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥檝e also seen huge gains in quality on the production end,鈥� said Scheiber. 鈥淚 used to spend a lot of time on the line trying to explain how parts should fit together or helping to fix things that didn鈥檛 fit. By running clash detection in the Tekla Structures model, we can focus on producing rather than on solving problems that shouldn鈥檛 exist in the first place. We are also able to generate Bar Bending Schedules directly from model.鈥� .
