INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURES

From portal frame sheds to warehouses, transfer stations, pre-assembled modules (PAMs), wharves and offshore marine structures, PDA has the experience and capacity to deliver large structural projects.

These structures often require large amounts of heavy steel sections. Our 3D modelling software is able to produce detailed material take-offs with minimal lead-time enabling fabricators to pre-order steel supplies while the steel detailing process continues.

Automated connection macros apply standard connections while powerful modelling tools are available for more specialised connections.

Sophisticated 3D model collaboration software enables us to integrate models from other disciplines and consultants such as piping, electrical and HVAC.

Interference (Clash) checking and visual reviews can identify many potential safety, erection, operational and maintenance issues.

PDA can provide computer numerical control (CNC) data for automated fabrication machines such as plasma cutters, beam drill line and multi-axis laser profiling machines.

We are experienced in accommodating the specific QA demands of offshore structures such as weld and material traceability.
