Construction design is a complex and responsible stage in the creation of infrastructure and structures. One of the key areas in this process is the KMD (metal structures detailing) section, which deals with the detailed development of metal elements of the structure. Modern technologies and software significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of this process.
One of the leading tools in this area is the TEKLA STRUCTURES program. This is advanced structural design software that enables engineers and designers to create high-quality 3D models of various structures, including metal detailing elements. The program provides a powerful set of tools for modelling, analysis, detailing and documentation.
Therefore, if you are going to create a large structure like a bridge, and want to hire a service that will help you to give precise and accurate fabrication of steel components, you can hire Tekla Shop drawing services Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Wellington as per your requirement.

What is Tekla Shop Drawing ?
The “Tekla Shop Drawing” is a service that consists of detailed and technical drawings that you can create by using Tekla Structures software. You can use this software in the construction industry to design and detail steel structures and create a unique drawing. In this highly precise plan drawing which is generated from a 3D model, you can provide all the necessary information for fabricating and installing components on a construction site, including dimensions, material specifications, and assembly instructions.
All of the information will automatically be generated based on the model design. They can plan urban sewers and design overflow remediation systems more precisely.
The main tasks of Tekla software are :
- 3D modelling of simple and complex structures made from the latest materials
- creation, transfer and management of construction information
- application development
- automatic copying and processing of drawings
- organization of multi-user access
- automated creation and copying of parts and connections
But along with creating and managing structural models of the building, it is also necessary to plan the sewer connection of the building more accurately.
For this, you have to hire some professionals who have already taken Bentley SewerGEMS Training in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Auckland are experts in this subject.
Importance of using Tekla Structures in design :-
When designing, preparing for production, constructing and operating buildings and structures, it is necessary to create working documentation with a thorough and detailed description of all elements of the structure. The quality of the project preparation determines the level of complexity you achieved during its creation. The most complex objects force the use of the most advanced design automation systems – CAD.
Tekla design software and technologies allow you to get the best, and often simply unique results in information support at all stages of the project life cycle. A special feature of Tekla Structures is the relative simplicity of work for the designer with parts and project units intended for inclusion in the working model, which was prepared by other specialists or even at another enterprise.
Key benefits of designing in TEKLA STRUCTURES :-
[1] Accurate 3D modelling :
Tekla Structures enables you to create detailed 3D models of metal parts and their connections. This helps engineers better understand the structure and identify potential problems early in the design phase.
[2] Integration and Collaboration :
The program enables collaboration between different professionals such as engineers, architects and clients through support for multiple file formats and cloud services.
[3] Automation and optimization :
Tekla Structures automatically generates detailed drawings based on the 3D model, speeding up the design process. The program also enables load analysis and optimization of the structure to improve its reliability and efficiency.
[4] Detailing and annotation :
Creating detailed drawings with dimensions, annotations and specifications is an important part of the KMD design. Tekla Structures provides rich capabilities for creating informative and understandable drawings.
Construction design by using Tekla Shop drawing services :-
✦ Creating a 3D model :
The first step of a construction design using Tekla Structures is to create a 3D model of the building. Engineers can model various elements such as beams, columns, trusses, stairs, and connections using a library of standard components.
✦ Detailing connections and elements :
Tekla Shop drawing provides many tools for creating different types of connections and details. Engineers can work out each element in detail, adding bolts, welds, and other details.
✦ Analysis and optimization :
The program allows you to analyze the loads on metal structures and optimize them to achieve the best results. This helps ensure that the structure will meet all safety and reliability requirements.
✦ Drawing and schedule generation :
Tekla Structures automatically creates detailed drawings for all elements and connections, including views from different angles, dimensions and annotations. This reduces the time needed to create documentation and reduces the risk of errors.
✦ Collaboration and data exchange :
The program enables easy collaboration between different project participants. Data can be exchanged between different programs and platforms, which improves coordination and communication.
But, there is no point that this service can accurately design sewer lines as per the requirement. For this, you need to take OpenFlow SewerGEMS Training in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Christchurch. With SewerGEMS, you will analyze all sanitary and combined sewer system elements in one package.
Know about the task that the Tekla Shop drawing team does ?
Here are some of the main responsibilities that the design team should fulfil :
[ⅰ] Interpretation of design drawings :
Analyze and understand architectural and engineering drawings to extract the necessary information related to steel structures.
[ⅱ] Create detailed drawings :
Develop detailed drawings that specify dimensions, materials and other requirements for the fabrication and construction of steel components.
[ⅲ] Structural modelling :
Creation of detailed 3D models of steel and concrete structures using Tekla Structures. This includes the accurate representation of beams, columns, joints and other structural elements.
[ⅳ] Connection design :
Design and detailing of connections between different structural components to ensure they comply with engineering standards and specifications.
[ⅴ] Drawing Generation :

But where do you learn Tekla Shop drawing course and how to choose the best centre where you will learn to use 3Dmodelling service and hire a specialised team for your project? BIM TECHNOLOGIES got you covered. Below, we are giving you a small example of this subject.
How does BIM TECHNOLOGIES help you in Tekla structure service ?
Our company is one step ahead in the development of design. At first, there was a drawing board, pencil and paper, then we started using a mouse and a computer and creating drawings faster. Then flat design became three-dimensional, but today it is only BIM.
BIM is the process of creating and managing information about a construction project at all stages of the project’s life cycle: planning, modelling, construction, and operation of the building.
We offer professional modelling of metal detailing design projects in Tekla Structures at low prices. You can find out the cost of the service, as well as order turnkey design of KMD in Tekla Structures in various places like Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth.
Our company’s specialists have accumulated extensive design experience as a result of implementing a large number of complex projects. Development of drawings and calculation of metal detailing structures (KMD) using BIM modeling is performed in Tekla Structures, Advance Steel or Autodesk Revit.
The composition of the complete project of metal structures includes a 3D model of metal structures, from which factory drawings, diagrams, drawings of units, drawings of shipping marks, drawings of plates for CNC machines and drawings of individual items are produced, which are completed with reports and specifications for the elements.
This composition of the 3D project has undeniable advantages compared to traditional drawings :
[1] Taking into account the technology and installation of metal structures allows you to select and apply the most optimal and constructive solutions for the building frame and its individual units.
[2] According to this project, you can immediately begin to manufacture metal structures and install them.
