Until recently, Termotex S.A. has always needed both a project engineer and a quality control inspector on-site to help coordinate crews, decipher blueprints, check the 2D blueprints, and match them to the 3D construction at the site. Even so, this was often not enough to avoid the mistakes and clashes that resulted from incorrect or outdated information.
To help overcome this challenge, the company started creating BIM designs themselves and switched to tablets instead of paper blueprints on the job site, which helped avoid some mistakes.
Termotex S.A.
Termotex S.A. is an innovative, international company that specializes in the design, integration, prefabrication, and assembly of industrialized insulating construction systems with millimeter precision. With more than 15 years of experience, Termotex S.A. has offices in Panama, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Dominican Republic, and the United States and aspires to become the main provider of this type of system in America.
Termotex adopted multiple Trimble technology solutions to maximize constructive data and real-time collaboration for the entire design, build and operate lifecycle. Beginning with Trimble Tekla Structures for BIM design, Termotex S.A. designers and engineers can now create comprehensive, information-rich 3D models that contain all of the data needed to build and maintain a structure.
Precise geometries help uncover issues earlier, and data-rich components mirror physical components to help ensure designs translate to reality. Termotex S.A. also uses Trimble SysQue to create a constructible MEP model based on real-world, manufacturing-specific content that is ready for fabrication.
