Digital tools enhance building design: Ruukki makes calculation and dimensioning easier

Ruukki Construction strengthens its position as a technical forerunner in the construction industry by providing designers, structural engineers and technical sales with modern, easy-to-use digital tools. These solutions make designing with Ruukki products smooth and efficient – resulting in technically sound and project-wise sustainable outcomes. 

Digital design and dimensioning solutions are a key part of modern construction. For Ruukki, they represent a strategic strength that enhances the customer experience and supports material efficiency through precise dimensioning.  

“Digital design tools offer tremendous potential, and we want to be at the forefront of their development. What matters most is that Ruukki products are included in design plans – and that designers can fully utilize their capabilities,” says Jyrki Kesti, Sustainability & Technical Manager, Ruukki Construction. 

One portal, many tools – smooth and accurate design 

Ruukki’s digital design environment brings together the key tools used across the industry: 

  • TrayPan, Poimu, PurCalc and ComSlab for thin-sheet product dimensioning 

  • wind load calculation 

  • acoustic design tools 

A unified and always up-to-date database allows users to focus on design instead of data gathering. Calculations are completed in minutes and can be easily shared with project teams and partners. 

“The portal significantly speeds up design work. In sales and technical support, we use the tools daily to demonstrate the impact of different parameters and to help customers select the right products,” says Jukka Joensuu, Pre-Sales & Marketing Manager, Ruukki Construction. 

Benefits for designers and customers 

  • smoother and faster design workflows 

  • optimized, cost-efficient structural solutions 

  • reliable and consistent calculation models 

  • easy project sharing and collaboration 

  • stronger technical support 

A reliable partner, an evolving environment 

The design environment is developed in close cooperation with Sorvimo, which is responsible for system maintenance and structural engineering expertise. Regular updates ensure that the tools evolve along with products, standards and user requirements. 

“The portal brings all Ruukki’s thin-sheet dimensioning applications together into one user-friendly solution. It speeds up and enhances design work for thousands of users and strengthens Ruukki’s position as a digital forerunner,” Jyrki Kesti concludes. 

Ruukki continues to develop its digital services with the aim of making building design even smoother, more accurate and more sustainable – together with its customers.
