3. Tekla Structures
offshore modeling
Tekla Structures software can
handle large and complex
projects
Modelling tools cover all kinds of
standard profiles and materials
including tubular and elliptical
sections all the way individual
welds and bolts
Tekla Structures can easily
integrate to all offshore industry
standard packages, such as
PDS, PDMS, providing error-free
design and detailing

Work simultaneously
–
Engineers, project managers, detailers or any other
party who wishes to view or control the model
–
Window to reliable project information during the
fabrication process
Quality control assured
–
Information such as engineering drawings easy to
access and always up to-date
Model the whole project
–
from initial concept studies including 4D
visualisation to the design of structures, safety
systems and sustainability
–
all the way from commissioning, modifications to
eventual decommissioning

20. Construction Management Module
MODEL ORGANISER:
Organize and manage your model.
Structure model and objects to
suitable purchase & work etc.
packages. Make reports & plans.
Create delivery lots
CLASH CHECK MANAGER:
Manage quality of design and
plans. Coordinate clashes and
utilize you detailing capacity
effectively
TASK MANAGER:
Manage your detailing, fabrication and
erection schedules and sequences.
Coordinate schedules with customers

21. CM flow between the Companies

41. Selectable Point Data and Background Data
• Work together to help with orientation on the job site
With points alone it is difficult to
visualize where you are
Adding the Background data
helps to clarify where you are

42. Increasing productivity with model-based layout
Accurate model data
Used directly in the field

43. Also used for fabrication set out applications

46. Tekla for offshore structures
• Some 120 offshore construction projects
completed
• including modular deck drilling and
production platforms, integrated deck
platforms, wellhead platforms and
accommodation platforms
• Offshore Division has used Tekla
Structures to design its platforms for two
years

47. Tekla for offshore structures
Halfdan BB
Tekla model was used successfully for various
purposes:
Halfdan BB is an unmanned
platform situated in the North
Sea at a location where the
depth reaches 50 m
- Continuous monitoring of the weight of the
structure and the position of the deck
structure’s centre of gravity during the
design phase
- Creation of drawings for the client and
authorities for certification purposes
- Output of lists of materials purchasing
- Identifying and correcting any conflicts with
equipment, piping, cables, access routes,
etc.
- Drawings for developing the workshop
designs used on the construction site

With Tekla Open API, Saipem
was able to generate added
value by exploiting its own
design organization
Saipem have further customised
Tekla Structures to integrate
into overall project work
processes, both at
engineering level and
material procurement and
fabrication activities

“The greatest benefit of using Tekla lies in the ability to
oversee the whole project since all of the
information is encompassed in the model. This is
also true of the execution of feasibility studies and
initial steps, assessment and evaluation of weights
and centres of gravity and the speed of verification
of project variations over the course of the work.”

“We believe that in the future, Tekla will
contribute to further boosting the efficiency of our work
processes as well as the quality of the results that can be
derived from the model.”
