includes the creation of CAD drawings as per the client’s ideas and requirements. All relevant drawings are signed off by a fully qualified structural engineer if required. Drawings can be supplied in both Microstation and AutoCAD formats, as well as pdf format if required.
is an option if the client requires CADDS to produce realistic models which can then be supplied to a third party to calculate stress levels of a material. We currently have the ability to model in Microstation XM, with facilities being put in place to utilise the latest Microstation version of Prosteel. 3D modelling gives us the ability to accurately design and create complex structures, and also allows the client to visualise their requirements in a 3D environment.
drawings can be produced via the client simply providing a concept sketch, or with more involvement from the CADDS team such as site visits and input from our consultant engineer.
drawings can be accurately created in the correct orientation and co-ordinates, giving the client accurate RL and XYZ co-ordinate data. 3D information can also be shown on the drawings, which can be created from .dxf files supplied by the client. Accurate cross sectional drawings can then be created from this information.
include presenting the client with a set of drawings consisting of onsite services such as water, electrical, communications or sewer which can be used for Civil Works. These can be produced through the use of existing drawings or from information obtained through site visits.
System drawings can be created in CAD, with the CADDS team collaborating with the client’s preferred materials handling supplier if required.
drawings can be created by the team at CADDS. This can be done with a concept sketch provided or with just ideas and requirements. Engineering Certification can also be obtained if necessary.
can be completed, with CADDS converting most formats to the latest versions of AutoCAD and Microstation. Conversions to client standards can be produced by using specified cell libraries and symbology or through the use of checking programs such as Enforcer for BHP approved drawings.
allows existing client hardcopies to be converted into electronic media and then added to a CAD file for long term archiving and/or modification.
can be developed for your organisation to assure maximum safety for your mission requirements. A safety management system can help evaluate, reduce and control hazards.
