Design & Construction Duties of Precast Detailers

Precast Detailing is one of the most successful and effective construction techniques that save time, avoid errors and reduces manpower. This method is used worldwide in small and complex construction projects because of its remarkable benefits. In precast detailing, frameworks are erected away from the site thus reduces the risk of environmental degradation at the construction site. This process also overcomes the in-site casting problems, where there is less space for the execution of concrete works.

So, where and why designing and detailing is needed in the pre-casting process. Precast components are made in casting yard and transported to the construction site. The workers at the casting yard don't have visual knowledge of the structure and construction site. Therefore, detailed Precast Shop Drawings are made to build a link between the construction site and the casting yard. So, who creates the drawing and what these drawings should contain? Here the role and responsibilities of Precast Detailing Service providers come in light.

Precast Panel Detailing service providers develops the project design concept, establishes structure geometry, selects the appearance and function of a wall, provides details and specifies performance and quality characteristics.

Precast Panel Detailing

They provide complete model and drawing specifications detailing all aesthetic, functional, and structural requirements, including design criteria, plus dimensions. This information should be supplied in such a way that all details unit can be designed without reference to the behaviour of other parts of the structure.

All specifications and construction details are described in these drawings by Precast Engineering Services providers. Precast Detailing Service providers must have in-depth knowledge of casting procedure, transportation of components, tilting up the components, propping and connection of elements. The drawings and model must contain most of the details which are sufficient to understand the buildings and component connections. 

To offer the best precast detailing services to clients, most frim uses TEKLA software for modeling. Here are some benefits of Tekla Precast Concrete Detailing. 

• Customize Tekla structures to meet your needs
• Error-free, up-to-date drawings and fabrication data directly from the model
• Work inside a virtual building
• Work on the same model regardless of team members' location
• Solve issues early and ensure smooth erection phase
• Plan erection sequence and achieve a safe execution

Tekla Structure Precast Concrete Design

The Tekla Structures Precast Concrete Design prepared by the precast detailing services firm must contain the overall geometry and the structure, panel dimensions and cross sections, typical connection locations and concepts. This information will be helpful to precasters and builders can construct the structure.

With more than 10 years of experience, the Silicon Engineering Consultants Limited offers a diverse range of customized services including Tekla Precast Concrete Detailing and Precast Concrete Columns Design to meet your individual needs.

Silicon Engineering Consultants Limited understand the fast pace of the AEC Industry and have the proven ability to deliver our projects to the highest quality and on time.

4 Reasons Why You Need MEP Shop Drawings

MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Engineering. These three fields include the systems that make building environment fit for us. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing in MEP Consulting Engineering is discussed together due to the high degree of interaction among them and to reduce the clash- a general problem when electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are created in separately. 

MEP Outsourcing Services bring many advantages to construction companies: reduced installation costs by optimizing material requirements, obtaining high performance and code compliance.

Let us understand all the three technical disciplines of MEP Engineering.

M: Mechanical Engineering

Different types of mechanical systems are used in residential and commercial buildings. However, the main three types of Mechanical design works are:

• Space Heating
• Air Conditioning
• Mechanical Ventilation

All the systems keep the temperature and humidity under control and give comfort and health. Mechanical ventilator ensures that fresh air is regularly supplied in the building to keep the air pollutant at safe levels.

MEP 3D Modeling

Along with fixing HAVC equipment correctly, MEP HAVC Shop Drawings also include setting the best routes for heat distribution systems: air ducts, hydronic piping or steam piping, whichever applies for the project.

E: Electrical Engineering

In the high rise and huge buildings, the most challenging part of the electrical design is defining the optimal routes for cables and wiring.  Since electrical wiring requires less space and can be routed easily, it is more flexible than mechanical systems. With the help of MEP Shop Drawings, wiring can be laid out while minimizing total circuit lengths, bypassing clashes and interferences. HAVC requires close collaboration between mechanical and electrical technicians during the MEP HAVC Shop Drawing process. Mechanical engineers determine heating and cooling loads while electrical engineers create the electrical circuit that allows these devices to run safely.

P: Plumbing Engineering

Plumbing installations also require numerous technical specifications. Like mechanical and electrical connections, plumbing needs laying out complicated piping routes, and MEP Shop Drawings are extensively used by construction companies to simplify the process.

MEP Shop Drawings

Plumbing installations cooperate with both mechanical and electrical systems at many points, such as:

•    In High-rise buildings water booster pumps are required to run electricity.

•    The hot water supply systems get their heat either from a boiler or from an electric heater.

Now let us see the fields where high quality of MEP engineering can influence the construction or renovation project:

• Energy Saving: MEP engineers can improve designs and can implement a number of energy management methods in order to reduce energy usage.

• Building Automation: From lighting, security, fire alarms, to building’s HVAC systems, effective MEP Engineering services can build a centralized automated system for every need.

• Water Conservation: Mechanical and plumbing system plans can reduce the quantity of water your building uses, and in turn, lower your water bill.

• Indoor Environmental Quality: The MEP engineers can improve the Indoor environmental of the building by maximizing the use of sunlight, optimizing HVAC systems for ventilation and moisture control to eliminate odours and airborne pathogens.
