Project Snapshot
Project type: Industrial service center
Location: United Kingdom
Project scale: Medium
Client type: Main Contractor
Project status: Completed
Software: Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, Ideastatica
Scope of work: Steel framing and connection detailing
The Challenge
- The facility included mixed-use service bays, requiring careful coordination between structural steel and building services.
- Multiple trades were working in parallel, increasing the risk of clashes and drawing revisions.
- The contractor needed drawings that would pass consultant and authority reviews without repeated resubmissions.
- Any lack of clarity in GA or connection details could delay approvals and site progress.
Our Detailing Approach
- We developed a zone-wise detailing strategy, breaking the building into manageable coordination zones.
- Structural framing and connections were modelled accurately in Tekla to reflect site constraints and service interfaces.
- Strong emphasis was placed on clear GA coordination to minimize clashes with other trades.
- Built-in QA/QC checks were applied before drawing issue to reduce revision cycles.
- All detailing was carried out in accordance with BS EN Eurocodes and UK approval workflows.
Deliverables
- Fabrication-ready shop drawings.
- Coordinated GA drawings for consultant and site review.
- Clear assembly drawings to support erection sequencing.
- Fabrication files aligned with shop processes.
Results & Value Delivered
- Faster consultant approvals due to clear, coordinated drawings.
- Clash-free detailing reduced rework during fabrication and erection.
- Improved coordination between steelwork and services.
- Supported smooth site execution with fewer interruptions.
Value to the Client
- Delivered approval-focused steel detailing aligned with UK standards.
- Reduced coordination effort for the main contractor.
- Improved program certainty through well-coordinated drawings.
- Demonstrated strong experience with UK industrial projects and approval processes.
