Services
Structural Steel Detailing
We create precise structural steel shop drawings using Tekla Structures and AutoCAD. Our deliverables include connection details, erection plans, and load calculations that meet AISC standards. Projects range from simple beam systems to complex high-rise frameworks requiring advanced coordination between trades.
3D Modeling Services
Our 3D modeling specialists develop accurate steel component representations for construction visualization. Using Tekla software, we generate clash-free models that improve fabrication efficiency while reducing field errors through early-stage coordination with contractors and subcontractors.
BIM Coordination
We integrate steel details into multidisciplinary BIM models, ensuring compatibility with MEP and architectural systems. Our BIM deliverables include coordination reports, conflict resolution documentation, and file exports compatible with construction project management platforms.
Retrofit Projects
Specializing in seismic upgrades and building modernization, we provide as-built documentation and retrofit detailing solutions. Our team handles complex field conditions and existing structure integration while maintaining compliance with current building codes.
Bridge Detailing
From pedestrian bridges to highway overpasses, we deliver detailed steel component drawings for new construction and rehabilitation projects. Services include connection design, weld detailing, and specialized documentation for seismic reinforcement and structural platework.
