Patrick McManus, Technical Director, explains how Martin/Martin saved time, improved consistency, and enhanced quality control by standardizing on structural calculation software, Tedds.
"At Martin/Martin, we work on a variety of commercial projects and specialize in arena and stadium work, defensive design, and construction services. To meet the requirements of such demanding and differing projects, we historically used software packages from multiple vendors. This was difficult to manage as each software package had its own interface and approached engineering problems differently.
No single engineer knew every product in-depth, which created problems with quality control, consistency, and it impacted project scheduling. What we really needed was a single software package that could reliably and accurately do everything we needed."
Extensive calculation library and great interoperability
Patrick McManus explains Martin/Martin’s decision to choose Tedds as their software:
"Tedds was our ideal solution because it provided an extensive library of calculations and created transparent output with detailed equations. It also reduced the need to perform calculations by hand, which had been very time-consuming.
