Scope of work: Industrial structural steel detailing
The Challenge
- The facility involved large spans and heavy structural loads, increasing detailing and fabrication complexity.
- Steel components needed to be optimized for fabrication efficiency without compromising structural intent.
- High material volumes required consistent detailing standards to avoid shop bottlenecks.
- Any inefficiency in detailing could impact fabrication throughput and site delivery.
Our Detailing Approach
- We adopted a fabricator-aligned detailing strategy, focusing on repeatability and shop efficiency.
- Tekla models were developed with clear member logic, connection standardization, and fabrication practicality in mind.
- Particular attention was paid to load paths, connection detailing, and erection considerations.
- Drawings and fabrication outputs were structured to support smooth shop workflows.
- All detailing was carried out in accordance with AS 4100 and Australian fabrication standards.
Deliverables
- Fabrication-ready shop drawings.
- Clear, coordinated GA drawings.
- Assembly drawings supporting erection sequencing.
- Fabrication files optimized for shop use.
Results & Value Delivered
