Precast Concrete Design and Detailing

How often do you envision greatness, and then upon execution it is just a good enough structure? In this technologically advanced era, it is time to move on from paper drawings and let a highly efficient software make an IMPACT.

At Structurele, we provide the engineering support you need to optimize your precast concrete projects. Take advantage of our combined expertise, built on experience of many precast markets around the world. We have served over 25+ factories across 20+ countries.

From the initial design concept right through to the production, we help you visualize, simulate, and document excellent graphical illustrations of your construction projects. Supported by the powerful software platforms and development teams of our parent company, StruSoft AB, we are able to respond and adapt to your requirements quickly.

Casting of precast elements in a described manner and achieving the right product in the factory totally depends on accurate design and detailing. Our efficient software solution, IMPACT BIM, is targeted at modelling & detailing and planning of precast concrete elements. We utilize our own software solution to provide precast element modelling and detailing IMPACT BIM can skilfully handle precast concrete detailing of columns, beams, walls, insulated walls, slabs, hollow cores, and filigree elements in the wall.


Successful adoption of precast technology in the construction domain depends on effective planning and implementation. We help you realize what the structure will actually look like way before the actual construction begins. The complete workflow of all areas of precast engineering can be visualized through our software. You can get more secure time schedules, exact material take-offs, and fewer errors in the design increasing the chances to speed up the planning process.

Our value engineering services, and technical support helps you maintain a central BIM database that links all your construction projects together. Take control of all your precast processes from design, development, quality control, stockyard, transport, and erection. BIM services with 3D precast detailing are available with full IFC integration, eliminating boundaries between reality and imagination, showing a rich three-dimensional world.
