1,100 kg of steel in just 90 sq ft. And it's built to be made again and again.
This Security Post is one of my recent Tekla projects, detailed for mass production. The main goal was simple: keep it symmetrical so the part marks repeat.
What I focused on:
1. Mirrored the layout on all sides, so the same parts and part marks repeat across the whole structure
2. Fewer unique parts, which means fewer drawings, faster cutting, and less chance of mix-ups in the shop
3. A ridge connection for the roof that's easy to fabricate and quick to bolt up on site
4. Stair, landing, and guardrail kept simple for fast er****on
5. Base plates and anchors are repeated for every column
When you're making dozens of units, every unique part costs time in the shop. Repeating parts is where you save it.
Fabricators, when you get a repeat order like this, do you prefer fully identical units, or a few mirrored (left/right) parts to make er****on easier?
Need detailing that's production-ready? DM me.
