Structural Steel Detailing
Structural Steel Detailing is the process of creating accurate, detailed drawings and 3D models for the
fabrication and erection of steel structures. It converts design intent into precise, construction-ready
plans, including dimensions, materials, connections, bolts, and welds. Quality detailing ensures
clash-free construction, improves coordination, reduces costly errors, and significantly boosts overall
project efficiency. It is essential for buildings, bridges, industrial plants, and other large-scale,
steel-based infrastructure projects.
Shop Drawings
Our structural shop drawings provide essential specifications for fabrication, including steel profiles,
connection details, welding, bolting, and material specs. These accurate drawings streamline fabrication
by eliminating uncertainties, minimizing errors, and ensuring coordination between teams. This ensures
components fit perfectly on-site, reducing mistakes, delays, and rework, while improving project
efficiency and on-time delivery.
3D modeling
Our 3D modeling services using Tekla, SDS2, and Advance Steel ensure highly accurate and detailed
representation of every structural steel component. These advanced tools precisely define dimensions,
connections, and tolerances, greatly minimizing discrepancies between design and fabrication. This level
of precision reduces errors, optimizes material usage, and enhances overall efficiency, ensuring faster,
with minimal rework and fewer delays.
Constructability
By leveraging advanced 3D models, we identify and resolve clashes between steel elements and other
building systems early in the design phase. This proactive clash detection ensures all components
are fabricated to precise specifications, minimizing costly adjustments and avoiding delays. It
leads to smoother on-site assembly, reducing errors, rework, and saving valuable time, resources,
and costs throughout the project lifecycle.
Collaborative
The integration of Tekla, SDS2, and Advance Steel enhances collaboration between project teams,
fabricators, and contractors, creating a unified workflow. Real-time updates, shared models, and
advanced clash detection enable smooth synchronization of design changes, preventing delays. This
results in better-coordinated fabrication, quicker decision-making, and faster project delivery,
ensuring the project stays on schedule and within budget.
Project Delivery
With Tekla, SDS2, and Advance Steel, we guarantee that all structural steel components are modeled,
fabricated, and delivered on time and according to detailed specifications. These advanced tools
ensure accurate fabrication, efficient material handling, and timely delivery of components in the
correct sequence. This streamlines the construction process, reduces delays, and guarantees that the
project stays on track for timely completion.
