Main contractors and consulting engineers
Our drawing office works with main contractors, structural engineers and other interfacing trades to coordinate the steelwork before fabrication begins.
Our in-house drawing office uses Tekla Structures to develop 3D models and detailed fabrication drawings, with connection design coordinated to suit the structural frame, project specification and design requirements.
Working closely with the fabrication workshop, we develop practical, coordinated steelwork details that support efficient manufacture, site installation and the overall project programme.
Following appointment and receipt of the approved-for-construction structural engineering drawings, including stated end reaction loadings, we arrange for the connection design to be completed and incorporate the details into our Tekla fabrication drawings.
Those drawings are issued to the main contractor for review and circulated to interfacing trades. Fabrication proceeds once the reviews are complete and authorisation to fabricate has been received.
Local builders
Provide the architectural and structural drawings you have. We can develop the detailing for individual beams and columns, portal frames and structural alterations.
What we can help with
- 3D modelling in Tekla Structures from the structural information and general arrangement drawings
- Connection design arranged to suit the frame, specified loads and project requirements
- Detailed fabrication drawings prepared in-house
- Workshop coordination so the details can be manufactured and installed
- Drawing review with the main contractor and interfacing trades before fabrication is authorised
How it works
- 01We need the approved-for-construction structural drawings, the specification and the stated end reaction loadings.
- 02Connection design is arranged and coordinated with the frame.
- 03The Tekla model and drawings are issued for review and coordination.
- 04Once approval to fabricate is in place, fabrication drawings are produced and the project moves to manufacture.
