Trimble helped complete the construction of a new 500-seater indoor sports stadium in Lucknow, on time, despite the ongoing pandemic. The indoor stadium, in the campus of the Institute of Engineering and Technology, Lucknow, will be inaugurated shortly. The stadium is designed to hold competitions for sports such as gymnastics, badminton, etc.
Trimble’s flagship construction software, Tekla Structures was used by steel fabrication firm Zamil Steel to design and fabricate all steel structures for the stadium. Zamil Steel is a leader in pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) made of steel and was awarded the contract for design, delivery, supply and erection of the stadium’s main structure.
The highly complex structure for IET Lucknow indoor sports stadium is spread across 5,200 square meters. Further, the design for this structure required continuous coordination among the teams for fabrication erection and transportation during the first wave of the pandemic. Designers and fabricators also needed to collaborate closely to modify and update the structural members used in the design. Trimble’s Tekla model sharing software was used to enable the project executing team to collaborate seamlessly, while working remotely during the pandemic-induced lockdown.
