Tony Ritchie Engineers and Ritchie Midgley Consulting Engineers
With an 18-storey curved, glazed façade, the mixed-use development, Legacy Corner, is tipped to become the new landmark of Sandton’s business hub, north of Johannesburg.
Joint venture partners Tony Ritchie Engineers and Ritchie Midgley Consulting Engineers, structural and civil consultants for the development, relied on Revit Structure software to help them meet complex engineering challenges and an aggressive project schedule. The software was used in conjunction with a suite of specialised analytical programs from Prokon.
Located on the last undeveloped site in the Nelson Mandela Square precinct, the development, for Legacy Hotels and Resorts International, comprises the 175-room
Da Vinci Hotel, an apartment block, three levels of retail space and four levels of parking.
The Autodesk 2010 software portfolio for building information modelling (BIM) will help building designers, civil engineers, contractors and their clients profit from digital design and achieve better communication across extended project teams.
AutoCAD Civil 3D software, a powerful BIM solution for civil engineering, helps project teams explore transportation, land development and environmental projects digitally before they are built.
New functionality in the software includes design and analysis capabilities such as automated intersection design, which enables you to build interactive intersection models that dynamically update, so you can focus on optimising a design and know the production drawings and annotations will always stay up-to-date.
Other features include the extraction of material quantities from corridor models, or assigning material types to light-posts and landscaping. You can run reports, or utilise built-in pay item lists to generate bid-ready contract documents, enabling you to make better decisions about the cost of the project earlier in the design process with accurate quantity takeoff tools.
