    Tek1 has completed this rather complicated project “Liverpool Catholic club”, for Gonzo Engineering, Simon Hatton as the Lead Estimator for Gonzo Engineering & the builder in this instance was Kane Constructions

    The project was complex demanded a very high level of detailing Knowledge. We have put our best guys on this job. They have done wonderfully well in completing this project without a hitch.

  • CHECK TRANSPORTATION FEASIBILITY WHILE WORKING IN AN EXISTING STRUCTURE

    The conventional maximum transportation size for an assembly is 12m x 2.5m x 2.5m. This value is not applicable for all the conditions.

    TEK1 executed an alteration work inside Canberra airport. Everything that enters an airport must go through the checking / screening area. As per design, the size of assemblies were more than 9m & we were not sure whether these assemblies could be transported into the Airport. So, TEK1 raised a query regarding this. The client agreed to reduce the size of transported assemblies.

    Lesson: Whenever a work is carried out inside an existing building, consideration must be given for taking in the assemblies i.e. door/entrance size is mandatory. Since a completed airport terminal is a closed roof structure, cranes cannot be used for erection. Here the erection is done with the help of genie lifts. Weight carrying capacity of the erection machinery must also be taken into consideration.

    See below design snap & TEK1 proposal markup for splice location.

  • ISSUES OF EXPORTING DSTV TO DXF WITH CSK BOLTS IN TEKLA MODEL

    Wherever Countersunk bolts are provided in a model, it is advised not to send NC DXF files to the client for the corresponding plate/shaft. This is because the hole dia in the generated NC & DXF file is not the actual bolt dia but it is the dia of the countersunk head. Therefore, the hole dia in the plate/shaft is much higher than the actual value. Hence, it is advised not to send NC DXF files for plates/shafts which has countersunk holes.

    But, when the client demands for NC DXF files even for plate/shaft with CSK bolts, the generated NC DXF files must be manually edited such that the CSK hole dia in the NC DXF files is bolt dia + 2mm(Tolerance).

    Also the tolerance for CSK bolts must be 2mm everywhere irrespective of the members the bolt is connecting i.e, whether it is steel to steel connection or steel to concrete connection the tolerance for CSK bolts must be 2mm.
