Project Snapshot
Project type: Commercial manufacturing facility
Location: Australia
Project scale: Large
Client type: Main Contractor
Project status: Completed
Software: Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, Ideastatica
Scope of work: Large-scale structural steel detailing
The Challenge
- The facility involved heavy industrial framing with a large structural footprint.
- The project was delivered under significant schedule pressure, requiring early and reliable drawing releases.
- Multiple zones were progressing in parallel, increasing coordination and sequencing complexity.
- Any delay in detailing or drawing approvals would directly impact fabrication and site progress.
Our Detailing Approach
- We adopted a fabrication-first detailing strategy, ensuring all models and drawings reflected real shop and site practices.
- The steel structure was broken into manageable zones, allowing parallel detailing and phased drawing release.
- Tekla models were developed with a strong focus on member alignment, connection clarity, and erection sequence.
- Drawing issues were phased and prioritized to match fabrication and site requirements.
- All detailing was carried out in compliance with AS 4100 and Australian construction practices.
Deliverables
- Fabrication-ready shop drawings.
- Clear, coordinated GA drawings for site use.
- Assembly drawings aligned with erection sequencing.
- Fabrication files suitable for direct shop use.
Results & Value Delivered
- Accelerated fabrication through timely, phased drawing releases.
- Supported steady site progress despite a compressed program.
- Reduced drawing-related delays and fabrication queries.
- Improved coordination across a large and complex steel package.
Value to the Client
- Delivered fabrication-first steel detailing aligned with contractor priorities
- Reduced program risk on a large-scale industrial build.
- Enabled predictable fabrication and erection sequencing.
- Demonstrated strong experience on Australian industrial and manufacturing projects.
