TRANSFORMING THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS

 Overview
Telge Projects is a structural engineering company which
offers Civil & Structural engineering & detailing services to the
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, in
domestic and international market. Telge Projects is equipped
with latest BIM Technology and it offers structural detailing LOCATION
services to building contractors, structural consultants, India
fabricators and manufacturers.

+Coal Transportation System:
A complex project with tight deadline

Telge Projects was associated in the development of a

conveyor system of Coal Transportation System Project
(CTS) of Maharashtra State Power Generation Company
Ltd, Nagpur. The conveyor system of CTS would run 9.5
Kilometers from Gondegaon Mine in Koardi to Khaparkheda
Thermal Power Station, and would have 90 Galleries each
spanning approximately 10 meters. The structure would
weigh a whopping 600 to 700 Million tons.
“We had only 2-3 months to complete this demanding task
of producing all the working fabrication drawings. The client
resorted to Auto-CAD for executing the detailing part which
required a huge team for implementation. Considering the
limited resource of 1 modeller and 2 drafters it posed a serious
challenge to the project progress and that’s when we had

recommended employing Tekla as the software partner.”

The foremost challenges of this project were developing
the curved galleries including minor curve changes in each – Mr. Prasad Kamble,
gallery and adhering with the closed deadlines. The minor Team Leader, Steel Dept., Telge Projects
curve changes in each galleries warranted highly precise
observation, co-ordination and attention for zero error
fabrication drawing. Adding to that the client had pressed to
complete the fabrication within 5 months. Eventually, Telge
had only 2-3 months to complete this demanding task of
producing all the working fabrication drawings.

Mr. Kamble recalls this project as the most gruelling

assignment as they had to deliver such extensive and huge
project within extremely short time.

+Overcoming Challenges with Tekla +

Telge Projects chose Tekla as an enabling partner for this
arduous project because there were many similar structures
with minor changes in each galleries. Tekla made it possible
to make certain customizations and standardizations in
components which had been used repetitively thus reducing the

time of remodelling everything time and again.

It was necessary for the team to work simultaneously on different parts which was made possible using Tekla. It resulted
in better co-ordination and seamless communication among the team members for quicker output. Tekla enabled an
obstruction free and smooth co-ordination and real time inputs from different stakeholders of the project.

Tekla also facilitated Telge Projects with early detection of clashes which the company used to coordinate with the client
which enabled quicker finalisation of fabrication drawing.

The automated reports from Tekla saved manpower by eliminating the requirement of almost 5 to 6 people for tracking
the project, taking the reports of material take offs, etc. Besides, the automated reports generated using Tekla were highly
accurate as the errors due to manual calculations could be minimised.

TEKLA HAS FURTHER EMPOWERED TELGE PROJECTS TO OVERCOME NUMEROUS

TECHNOLOGICAL CHALLENGES ROOTED IN THE PROJECT
►► Customized components creation for repetitive (with minor changes) frame structures.
►► 70 to 80% cloning of drawings from master drawings and generating almost 30 to 40% quicker outcome for each day
submission.
►► Automated generation of material lists without assigning any dedicated resource unlike conventional methods.Create
accurate, constructible models.
►► Automated generation of assembly lists and drawing lists, weekly or biweekly at one click whenever required and
demanded by the client.

Tekla custom & parametric components: An important enabler
+
+ +
++++

The otherwise intriguing exercise of placing the top and the bottom
chords having curvature in both the directions of the main beam
and modelling all the welded connections were made easy by Tekla
Structures. The custom components and parametric component
feature helped to enhance the look of the structures.

Besides, these custom components and parametric components of

Tekla were used in the Adler frames and in the end portal frames. The
connections in these areas were very complex and were modelled easily
using Tekla. The best part was that the parametric components could
be made and used repeatedly wherever required. Another advantage
was drawing cloning. This job had 90 numbers of galleries and 30 to 35
numbers of trestles which were modelled and detailed using drawing Connection detail with 2 Gallery with trestle
cloning. Drawing cloning also saved effort and time invested in this job.
