Know how BIM & Earthquake engineering enhance the way for structural engineers to design and build a strong structures.

In September this year, when a popular church in Nigeria collapsed and 116 people were killed, an urgent probe was ordered. Did this fatal collapse occur due to lack of attention given to the buildings structural design? The structural design of a building is largely responsible for the security and safety of its occupants. According to a research it was recorded that the structures of majority buildings that have collapsed, were not supervised by experts.

Architecture and engineering have changed over a period of time thereby making structural detailing services crucial for every constriction project.

Rebar detailing plays most important role in structural engineering. It also helps in evaluating the construction cost with the quantity and quality of rebars used in the construction project.

A retaining wall might seem to some, a simple structure of stone, concrete or timber, however designing and building a retaining wall structure involves complex engineering. Retaining wall restricts and binds the tons of soil that can erode due to water flows and damage the foundation of the surrounding property.

Though BIM has a very significant role to play at every stage of construction project, it provides a base for the most fundamental levels of engineering discipline, right from design to the analysis.

Architects, structural engineers, MEP Engineers & other stakeholders have started relying more on 3D BIM modeling services, let's look at the benefits 3D BIM modeling service providers offer with help of BIM.

There is a strong need of coordination of activities for architectural, structural and MEP activities, which can be achieved by BIM to have efficient work output.

See how smartly the communication is done between general contractors or an architect or an engineer to implement the task with the better coordination and the facility.

BIM enables manufacturers to list all building elements digitally, thereby updating them as the project progresses. Classification and updation of these elements, plays a vital role in rendering the structure as it increases the accuracy and information as well.
