    Deer park -Noise wall

    Tek1 has successfully completed a commercial project for a reputable organization in Australia.

    The scope of work involved providing walls for the railway track. These walls are constructed using 3mm sheets, meticulously modeled to form zigzag patterns with varying heights, adhering to the provided design specifications.

    Additionally, detailed drawings, including unfolded views, were provided to the fabricators, accompanied by precise dimensions and folding angles, indicating the appropriate folding sides.

    With this comprehensive documentation, the fabrication process commenced smoothly, devoid of any missing dimensions or details. This efficient coordination not only saved significant time for the fabricators but also streamlined the construction process for the builders.

    As a result, the walls were erected within the scheduled timeframe, meeting project deadlines seamlessly. The client expressed high satisfaction with the quality and timeliness of our work, further affirming Tek1’s commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes.

  • Navigating Kick Plate Dimensions:Unveiling the Distinctions Between AS1428 and AS1657 Standards

    Navigating Kick Plate Dimensions:Unveiling the Distinctions Between AS1428 and AS1657 Standards

    In the realm of architectural and structural standards, the dimensions of kick plates play a crucial role in ensuring safety and accessibility.

    When it comes to ramps, AS1428 sets a minimum height requirement of 150mm for the top of the kerb rail from the floor. This standard aims to provide optimal support and guidance for individuals with diverse mobility needs.

    However, the story takes a nuanced turn when we shift our focus to stairs. AS1657, the standard specifically addressing fixed platforms, walkways, stairways, and ladders – dictates a different criterion.Here, the top of the kick plate is mandated to be at least 100mm above the floor.

    Navigating these standards requires a keen understanding of the specific contexts in which they apply, showcasing the meticulous nature of design considerations in the pursuit of both safety and inclusivity.

  • Tekla – Error in STP file export

    Tekla – Error in STP file export

    As a TEKLA user, this blog will help you prevent mistakes in the fabrication shop. It can also save a lot of costs for you if you read it fully.

    Some clients request STP files for fabrication purposes, but it’s important to note that there may be errors in the Tekla export. Generally, Tekla lacks a built-in option for the STP format. We use an extension called multi converter, obtained from the Tekla warehouse, for STP exports.

    But, unfortunately, some parts don’t export properly, and we’ve encountered issues in our project.

    Please see the below nc file snap for part no m513.

    But when we export the same part in multi converter for STP format , We have got some errors.Please see below snap.The exported STP file shows only a small part instead of the entire component.

    Most of the parts export successfully without any errors. However, a few parts with a maximum number of cuts are encountering issues, as shown in the snapshot. Therefore, I recommend checking the exported STP format files before sending, particularly for parts with a higher number of cuts in the model.

    We have contacted TEKLA support regarding this issue. Please wait for a while, and we will update you once we receive a response from them.

  • Campsie station fencing

    Campsie station fencing

    Tek1 has successfully completed a commercial project for a reputable organization in Australia.

    The scope of work involved providing fencing for the station. The design drawings do not include dimensions for the fence slope and length. Therefore, we had to coordinate with site conditions to provide proper support for the fence. The fence doesn’t follow a straight line; instead, it follows the slope of the terrain, which was not indicated in the design drawings.

    To address this, we modeled the fences based on site pictures and sketch drawings provided by the surveyor, which presented a significant challenge in creating accurate shop drawings.

    We held numerous meetings with the client to ensure there would be no mistakes during the installation process. As expected, the installation was carried out without any issues.

     

    The client is highly satisfied with our work.

    The scope of work involved providing floor , roof beams and stairs with handrails.

    The primary challenge we encountered in this project was related to the stairs and handrails. Unfortunately, we did not receive connection details from the structural engineers. As a result, we took the initiative to propose and finalize all the connection details at Tek1.

    This approach was well-received by the client and the structural engineers. The client is pleased with our work, and the structural engineers approved all of our connection proposals.

    Furthermore, this project also included the measurement of the rock face at the site. We coordinated effectively with the site engineer to mitigate any challenges during the erection process.
