Rebar Detailing Case Study – Museum of The Future Project, UAE

The Museum of the Future is a truly unique project. Advenser was tasked with detailing rebar elements using Tekla Structures and extracting the required deliverables, including drawings, Bar Bending Schedules (BBS), IFC files, and Tekla BIM site models. These were essential to facilitate the construction of the ring beam and internal beams. The "ovoid" shape of the ring beam posed significant challenges for rebar detailing using traditional 2D software. Consequently, the client opted for 3D modeling, which also helped detect clashes prior to installation. The project involved the highly complex task of modeling a large number of curved rebars, made even more demanding by tight schedules. In total, 861 tons of rebar were detailed for the project.
