Project status: Completed

Software: Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, Ideastatica

Scope of work: Steel detailing for access platforms and stair systems

The Challenge

  1. The scope included safety-critical elements such as access platforms, stairs, and handrails.
  2. Accurate geometry and connection detailing were essential to meet safety and compliance requirements.
  3. Any detailing errors could directly impact site safety and regulatory approval.
  4. The client required assurance that detailing outputs would support safe, compliant fabrication and installation.

Our Detailing Approach

  1. We adopted a safety-focused detailing strategy, prioritizing accuracy and compliance over speed.
  2. Tekla models were developed with careful attention to stair geometry, riser heights, handrail clearances, and connection detailing.
  3. All elements were modelled to support fabrication accuracy and safe installation.
  4. QA/QC checks were applied to ensure compliance with design intent and safety requirements.
  5. All detailing was carried out in accordance with Eurocodes and Irish safety standards.
