One plant model, for every team that works on it.
Engineering firms design the plant. Drawing offices detail it, fabricators build it, and owners run it and upgrade it. ParaMatic puts the piping and cabling in the same Tekla model as the steel, so one model serves every team.
Design the plant where the steel is.
Design piping and cabling in Tekla Structures, the program your fabricators already use. Then hand them one model instead of several.
- Pipes, fittings, instruments and supports designed on the steel model
- Clash checks between pipes and steel in one model, not across separate programs
- Other pipe routes tested early, so the best one is engineered up front
- No IFC files going back and forth after every change
Products that fit
- ParaMatic PipingPipes, fittings, instruments and supports, with 15 piping standards including ASME, EN, JIS, AS and SANS.
- ParaMatic CablingReleasedCable supports, racking and brackets in the same model, with a live bill of quantities.
- Custom automationTekla tools for the parts you design again and again, like conveyor gantries and tanks.
Proof
Piping and cabling on the steel model.
Add piping and cable supports to the Tekla model you already detail the steel in. Then issue spool drawings and buy-out lists from that same model.
- Fittings and pipe supports move with the pipe when the route changes
- Line and spool drawings, bolt lists, buy-out lists and line breakdowns from the model
- Cable supports, racking and brackets, with a live bill of quantities and supplier codes
- A 30-day trial, so you can test it on a live job first
Products that fit
- ParaMatic PipingBolt lists, buy-out lists and line breakdowns in Excel. 15 piping standards in Version 3.
- ParaMatic CablingReleasedCable supports and racking on the steel model, with line breakdown reports.
- Custom automationTekla tools for the parts you detail again and again, like conveyor gantries and tanks.
Proof
Your people aren't the bottleneck. Your workflow might be.
Get more out of the same team. Fittings and supports follow the pipe, and the drawings and lists come out of the model at the press of a button.
- Line and spool drawings, and eight reports, from one window
- Fittings and supports that update when the pipe or the steel moves
- Line numbers, spool numbers and P&ID references on every part
- Tekla tools for the parts your team designs again and again

Proof
The racking goes where it was designed.
Design the cable trays and racking in the same Tekla model as the steel, so the steel can be pre-drilled for the supports before anyone gets to site.
- Racking detailed along the route you draw, to your specification
- Supports hung from the steel or the concrete, that move when the racking moves
- A buy-out list that counts every screw, washer and nut
- Line breakdown reports, added in the August 2026 release
What fits
Proof
One accurate model of your plant, kept for the next upgrade.
When the steel, piping and cabling are in one Tekla model, you can keep that model with the plant and design the next upgrade on it. Scanning and digital twins come from our engineering team, ParaMatic Projects.
- One Tekla model of the steel, piping and cabling, built to LOD 400
- Every part carries its data, so lists and drawings come from the model
- No model yet? ParaMatic Projects can scan your plant as it stands and model it in Tekla
- Live readings from plant equipment, on the parts in the model: in development
What fits
- ParaMatic PlantVisionProof of conceptLive data from plant equipment, linked to the Digital Twin BIM model. Not yet a released product.
