Project Overview

MechCiv Engineering provided steel detailing for the construction of a Uniqlo store using specific software. This project involved creating detailed steel structural models and fabrication drawings for a retail store designed to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. Our team focused on delivering a precise and efficient design to meet the aesthetic and functional requirements of the store.

Challenges

⇒ Aesthetic and Structural Integration: The Uniqlo store design included architectural features that required integrating the steel structure seamlessly with the store’s modern and aesthetic design. Balancing structural integrity with visual appeal was challenging.

⇒ Complex Roof Structure: The store featured a complex roof structure with varying angles and load requirements. Accurately detailing this complex geometry to ensure proper support and alignment required advanced modeling techniques.

⇒ Coordination with MEP Systems: Integrating the steel structure with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems required precise coordination to avoid clashes and ensure that all systems were accommodated within the store’s design.

Solutions

Advanced Tekla Modeling: We used specific software’s advanced modeling tools to create detailed 3D models that integrated the steel structure with the store’s architectural elements. This allowed us to visualize and refine the design to meet both structural and aesthetic requirements.

⇒ Detailed Roof Analysis and Design: Software’s capabilities were utilized to model the complex roof structure accurately. We performed detailed load analysis and designed the steel supports to ensure the roof’s stability and proper alignment with the rest of the building.

⇒ Integrated Clash Detection: We employed clash detection features to identify and resolve conflicts between the steel structure and MEP systems early in the design phase. This proactive approach facilitated smooth integration and minimized on-site issues.

The project was completed successfully, with the Uniqlo store’s steel structure meeting all design specifications and seamlessly integrating with the store’s overall design. MechCiv Engineering’s expertise in using Specific software and effective problem-solving ensured a high-quality and efficient construction process.
