Tekla Structures offshore modelling
Work simultaneously
– Engineers, project managers, detailers or any other
party who wishes to view or control the model
– Window to reliable project information during the
fabrication process
Quality control assured
– Information such as engineering drawings easy to
access and always up to-date
Model the whole project
– from initial concept studies including 4D
visualisation to the design of structures, safety
systems and sustainability
– all the way from commissioning, modifications to
eventual decommissioning

Construction Management Module
MODEL ORGANISER:
Organize and manage your model.
Structure model and objects to
suitable purchase & work etc.
packages. Make reports & plans.
Create delivery lots

CLASH CHECK MANAGER:

Manage quality of design and
plans. Coordinate clashes and
utilize you detailing capacity
effectively

TASK MANAGER:
Manage your detailing, fabrication and
erection schedules and sequences.
Coordinate schedules with customers

• Some 120 offshore construction projects

completed
• including modular deck drilling and
production platforms, integrated deck
platforms, wellhead platforms and
accommodation platforms
• Offshore Division has used Tekla
Structures to design its platforms for two
years

Halfdan BB Halfdan BB is an unmanned
platform situated in the North
Tekla model was used successfully for various Sea at a location where the
purposes: depth reaches 50 m
- Continuous monitoring of the weight of the
structure and the position of the deck
structure’s centre of gravity during the
design phase
- Creation of drawings for the client and
authorities for certification purposes
- Output of lists of materials purchasing
- Identifying and correcting any conflicts with
equipment, piping, cables, access routes,
etc.
- Drawings for developing the workshop
designs used on the construction site [Date]

With Tekla Open API, Saipem
was able to generate added
value by exploiting its own
design organization

Saipem have further customised

Tekla Structures to integrate
into overall project work
processes, both at
engineering level and
material procurement and
fabrication activities

Saipem have been able to design,

detail and manage a range of
projects using Tekla Structures
with their customised tools

- offshore joints & nodes
- material properties & class for
MMS codification
- engineering breakdown & fabrication

“The greatest benefit of using Tekla lies in the ability to
oversee the whole project since all of the
information is encompassed in the model. This is
also true of the execution of feasibility studies and
initial steps, assessment and evaluation of weights
and centres of gravity and the speed of verification
of project variations over the course of the work.”

“We believe that in the future, Tekla will
contribute to further boosting the efficiency of our work
processes as well as the quality of the results that can be
derived from the model.”
