  • ERP for Precast

    Here is where we are going with precast ERP System.

    This will be a cloud based ERP system, based on Dot net, Entity frame works, and Ruby on Rails.

    Hosted on amazon elastic cloud, it is fully scalable, highly available system.

    Think of how much administrative work you can save on ordering scheduling, etc.

    We extract data from Cad files. This data is available for purchasing, scheduling,  production control, and quality control.

    We can customize this App for your specific requirements.

    Call us to learn more about how we can tailor the solution for your needs.

    Also API s are provided where by your software can consume data provided by the API in Json or XML format.

    Full security features are incorporated.

  • Past Precast Projects

    Here are some of the projects we’ve been involved with in recent times – as of this photo (2016-2017). What’s cool about it is that they’re all in the same place at around the same time.

    Rarely will you ever see them so closely located together, let alone in the same photo. Personally I thought it was pretty cool. (Please click on the photo below to get a close-up view).

  • Bubble Deck and Panel Detailing Tooling – AutoDimension Metal Curves

    Hi folks

    Demo of the Auto-dimension metal curve tool

    Auto Dimensioning Metal Curves from Tek1 on Vimeo.

     

     

    This post is a demonstration of the powerful tooling Tek1 has at its disposal. This will save you, the client: time and incorrect dimensions.

    This tool dimensions complex metal curves in a fraction of a second.  You can’t make a mistake – that is impossible because the computer does the heavy lifting. And it can’t take more than 10 seconds (maximum). Imagine dimensioning everything by hand. That would take forever!

    It allows our engineers and draftspeople to focus on the more important things: reading and interpreting drawings, and making good design decisions.

    with kind regards

  • Bar Bending Schedules

    We have aquired CADDs rebar cad software, which is arguably the best tool to detail rebar. CADSRC is used for producing bar bending schedules.

    WE provide the precise details on bends, shapes and lap splices to meet the requirement of your specific project.  Project Constructrability is tackled while detailing, issues are highlighted. Detailed drawings are provided for the rebars. The detailed drawings provided by our rebar detailers often help our contractors to visualize the structures.  In fact, with these detailed drawings, the task of iron workers are highly simplified, as they know where to place and thus reduces the cost of installation.

    • Foundation details
    • Bar Bending Schedules
    • Bar listing
    • Total rebar estimation
    • Footing Detailing
    • I/S beams and Columns
    • Bar Bending Schedules

    Our detailers have a long track record of iconic projects working with top-tier fabricators, general contractors, engineers, owners and EPCM firms, where:Rebar

  • How to obtain a small offset around a polyline? (AutoCAD .net API)

    smallOffset
    Shows a small offset around a panel. This would need to be created.

     

    Offsets from a panel are used extensively in detailing.

    Here’s how to do it – simple, no? See below:

     

    DBObjectCollection _offsetPolylines = polylineInstance.GetOffsetCurves(25);
     // offsets the polyline by 25 mm
     // the object collection should really have only one item in it: a polyline offseting the original by 25mm.

  • How to return a selection of Objects to the user (AutoCAD .net)

    Here’s the code:

    And that should select any objects that you want to select. You’ll have to put it in an array though. A handy hint which can save you a bit of grief.

  • Tek1 Now With SolidWorks Expertise

    Traditionally we have been a precast and steel operation. With a very strong and talented team, familiar with AutoCad (and many similarly related CAD systems), Tekla and also Catia and SolidWorks.

    Given Toyota’s Design facility is now defunct in Melbourne, we now have Tony on board, capable of handling anything pertaining to SolidWorks and Catia. We original met Tony in Toyota, and we know what he’s capable of. He brings to us a wealth of knowledge and expertise – one of the best in the world – and are absolutely delighted to have him on board.

    If it’s got to do with SolidWorks, he’s one of the best out there. Pick up the phone and we’ll give you a quote. And you can judge for yourself the quality of his work.
