2023: Introduction of Utility Design Automation Plugin

KORTROS Group of Companies has developed its own plugin for automation of engineering network design in terms of heating, ventilation, water supply and sewerage. When drawing project geometry, the plugin allows you to generate specifications for working documentation placed on sheets and structured in accordance with GOST and other regulatory documents. The company announced this on November 20, 2023.

The development of KORTROS Group greatly facilitates the time spent by engineers on the preparation and preparation of documentation.

In addition, we have prescribed the ability to interact with servers to upload data from building information models to the local area. We use this information for further work, including design analytics with daily updates. We are going to create a platform that will immediately issue working documentation from the concept. Thus, all design can be reduced from 12-16 months to 8-12 months, "said Maxim Tyapochkin, head of the BIM-automation laboratory at KORTROS Group.

KORTROS Group of Companies began using this module in the design of residential buildings in the Academic District of Yekaterinburg. At this site, the development will be fully tested, and additions will be made to architectural design, structural solutions and design of internal electrical equipment and lighting.

In the future, this application will be posted on the application marketplace for certain companies.
