IMPACT Production

Precast Production Management

With 5000 Employees, 5 x Precast Factories, and more than 43 years of professional experience in the Saudi Arabian market, ARA excels itself at being one of the most trusted precast concrete manufacturers in the Kingdom.

Having already utilised the 3D modelling software IMPACT Design over the past two decades, ARA decided on the next stage to implement the entire IMPACT system. Now IMPACT Production helps them track every single element from design to site.

Precast Planning in full 3D

A Paper Mill in Husum, Sweden is expanding into a large and complex construction project. The precast concrete frame is being manufactured and delivered by Attacus Stomsystem, who has used the IMPACT Precast Planning software to connect the entire workflows, from design, to production, to transport and final assembly.

The 3D model of IMPACT Project allows intelligent visualisation of the precast elements, properties about the element and its unique ID.

IMPACT Project Manager offers you complete control over your precast concrete projects. This way, you can create erection sequence plans and simulations, transport deliveries, set target dates for drawings, schedule your production, and many more. Impact Project brings all your precast processes together by working with IMPACT Design and IMPACT Production.
