Precast concrete modelling and detailing
Precast building structures applies precast concrete components of various sizes and shapes, which are manufactured in specialized companies. The precast concrete components are later transported to the construction site where they are assembled by cranes, which will lift the precast elements to their final position. For the purpose of precast production, transportation and construction it is required to prepare structural design calculations and detailed drawings for production of each precast component, and for the construction of elements into a building.
Advanced BIM-based precast concrete modelling and detailing for prefabrication and fast installation can now be used by any construction project. AEC Prefab includes planning and design of pre-cast building components for any building, often in combination with steel and wood structures. This makes it possible for any construction company to design their specific building using prefab methods, and the surrounding industry to compete about the project deliveries.
