Fulfilment Centre Warehouse Project - USA

Challenges:

The warehouse project was fast-paced and was expected to be complete in 16 weeks. PGT stood up to the challenge by fast-tracking the modelling process with in-house automation tools developed in Tekla to expedite repetitive members. Manpower planning was a crucial part of the success of this project, as efficient management of resources in critical areas helped eliminate bottlenecking.

Solutions: 

PGT was successful in progressing at a rapid pace of 1,350 tons of steel detailed per week. Sequence-wise manpower planning as well as optimizing connection design timelines to coincide before sequence submission dates helped keep the project under a committed time frame until completion. The use of Tekla Automation tools ensured we enabled us to stay ahead right from the ABM stage, giving us adequate time to check drawings to ensure error-free submissions.
