Why WSP are bridge modelling using Tekla
The reasons are quite simple really...
1. The working philosophy of BIM (& BrIM) is here to stay
2. 3D modelling of bridges is already happening, and is well established
3. We believe that 3D modelling of bridges is the only way forward in the BIM /
BrIM environment
4. It is not just about pretty 3D pictures

5. For us, Tekla is the only ‘complete’ engineering package with a proven history
(and not just for bridges)
6. We know that modelling brings benefits throughout the project lifecycle for all
parties

Summary
Realised benefits of 3D modelling with Tekla
• Easier design visualisation
• Automated production and updating of the rebar
schedules
• Visual and automated clash detection
• Reduction in errors and site queries
• Ability to easily manage geometrically complex
designs
• The ease of interaction with other engineering
disciplines (e.g. highways)
• The ease of interaction with 3rd parties (e.g. architects
and steel fabricators)
• Built in steelwork connections
• All parties using Tekla BIMsight (freeware)

Summary
Other benefits of 3D modelling with Tekla
• Automated drawing updating
• Material specifications contained within the model
• Report outputs to assist in the production of BoQs
• Multi user models (1 model, multiple simultaneous users)
• Model sharing with principal contractors
• And much, much more

Summary
Key points
1. The industry has already changed, and will continue to do so
2. Embracing the technologies surrounding BrIM it is not so different from what happen
20 years ago with CAD
3. Everyone throughout the supply chain can benefit from having good quality models,
including the end owner
4. 2D drawings are still important, but project deliverables should move towards 3D
models with a lesser amount of accompanying 2D drawings
5. A shift in the UK mind set is required
