Tekla Structures designs constructible BIM Software

Pune Metro's Mangalwar Peth station is all set to wear a unique Mavala Pagadi look on its completion, thanks to advanced structural designs generated using the world's leading constructible BIM software. Tekla Structures is the flagship construction software of the global construction technology leader Trimble Mangalwar Peth is one of the seven elevated stations on the Pune Metro's Vanaaj to Ramvadi line. All stations on this line will feature unique and iconic looks that are designed to pay homage to the cultural heritage of the city. The Mangalwar Peth Metro station has been designed to draw inspiration from the appearance of a Mavala Pagadi - a type of turban which symbolizes honour and is a significant part of the Maharashtrian culture. Pune-based Telge Projects was awarded the project for designing and engineering the steel structure of the metro station during the lockdown. Vrajesh Lad, team leader at Telge Projects, informed that with the central government mandating BIM for all important projects constructed in the country and considering the complexities of the structure, it selected Tekla for super accurate and constructible models. Regional Director, Trimble Solutions, India and the Middle East, Paul Wallet said that executing such an ambitious project successfully within such tight timelines and in the middle of a global pandemic and shutdown clearly demanded the best in design and engineering prowess.
