Steel structures project sheet

Piperack 125 meters

The 3D Tekla Structures model was developed to allow quick and easy on-site assembly of the project.

Key details

Client: Piperack 125 Meters
Total weight: 54 tonnes
Steel constructor: Almermetaal
Engineering:
- Arcade Concept Engineering (general stability)
- WB&E (facade engineering and implementation file)
Year of construction: 2022

All in the details

The 3D Tekla Structures model was developed to allow the project to be assembled quickly and easily on site. We therefore decided to reduce the number of joints required on the construction site and instead use large lattice structures built to maximise transport and lifting.

Tailored joint design

All of the typical bolted and welded joints were analysed in IDEA StatiCa based on the SCIA Engineer model received.
To simplify manufacturing, we took care to use the same connecting elements and joints throughout the structure as far as possible.
