Services
Structural Analysis
Our structural analysis services evaluate building components' strength, rigidity, and stability to ensure safety and compliance. We assess commercial, industrial, and residential structures using advanced software and manual calculations. Our engineers determine load capacities and material specifications to withstand environmental forces while meeting project requirements.
3D Modeling
Using Tekla Structures software, we create detailed 3D models for construction visualization and coordination. Our BIM solutions enable clash detection, connection design, and fabrication file generation. This technology enhances accuracy in complex projects while streamlining communication between design and construction teams across all building types.
Shop Detailing
We produce comprehensive shop drawings and fabrication packages for structural steel components. Our detailing services include assembly drawings, part lists, and CNC-ready files. These precise documents guide manufacturers in producing beams, columns, and connections that meet exact project specifications and industry standards.
Erection Drawings
Our erection drawings provide detailed installation instructions for structural components. These documents specify assembly sequences, connection details, and safety requirements. Contractors use our drawings to ensure accurate field installation of steel structures while maintaining compliance with engineering specifications and building codes.
Technical Drawings
We create technical drawings that communicate structural design intent through standardized symbols and measurements. Our documentation includes plans, elevations, and sections that guide construction teams. These drawings ensure clear communication of design requirements while maintaining compatibility with architectural and mechanical systems.
