Zeki HARPUTOĞLU, YÜKSEL PROJE A.Ş.

He completed his studies at Istanbul Technical University, specializing in Civil Engineering, and graduated in 1990. His professional journey led him to Yüksel Proje in 1998 where he has been working to date. He has experience in designing and managing a wide array of structures within various domains of Civil Engineering, encompassing superstructures, transportation systems, and infrastructure. His specialization extends to the intricate design of reinforced concrete, as well as prestressed and post-stressed concrete structures. He's equally adept in engineering steel structures, specialized industrial constructs, bridges, and diverse engineering marvels. His primary focus has revolved around significant public ventures, particularly concentrated on the design of expansive projects such as bridges, viaducts, and cable-suspended bridges. Moreover, he has been extensively involved in earthquake repair and reinforcement initiatives, along with spearheading steel structure projects, private industrial developments, and intricate rail system metro designs. Throughout his career, he has achieved proficiency in utilizing the BIM platform to craft projects through meticulous 3D modeling. He has also exhibited ingenuity by developing numerous software tools tailored for Excel and CAD environments, pivotal within the realm of Civil Engineering.

Session: End-to-End Bridge & Tunnel Design with ALLPLAN

In this presentation we explain the design process of the bridges and tunnels along the Sibiu–Pitești Motorway, demonstrating how challenging topography, variable ground conditions, and diverse structural system requirements were managed under a single BIM approach. Using real project data, the session explains in detail how different bridge types were modeled parametrically, how tunnel cross-section variations were controlled, and how interdisciplinary coordination was ensured within a unified digital environment. It also illustrates how 3D models developed in Allplan were transformed into quantity take-offs, drawings, and construction outputs, while clash detection and site processes were managed through a model-based workflow. The webinar provides practical and technical insights into achieving efficiency, accuracy, and sustainable digital workflows in large-scale infrastructure projects.
