Detailing
We produce detailed fabrication and erection drawings using Design Data’s SDS/2 steel detailing software. We employ in-house detailers with decades of experience in a variety of buildings and structures. Our detailing department has also gone virtually paperless – allowing for faster review of drawings, coordination, and markups.
We also provide connection design and signed and sealed connection calculations by partnering with leading structural engineering companies. With SDS/2, we can auto-generate connections with calculations for faster review of connections.
With the construction industry moving toward BIM coordination, we have learned to work with design teams through model coordination. We have the ability to share our model we generate in SDS/2 for coordination and clash detection to provide a steel structure to incorporate into the overall project.
Fabrication
As an AISC Certified Building Fabricator, we can provide much more than structural steel for your project. Behind our steel is a yearly audited quality program, an in-house quality control inspector, and a quality system committed to providing error-free product. We are constantly implementing new processes and programs to improve our product. One of these is implementing Tekla EPM to streamline our process from estimating, detailing, purchasing, and fabrication. The end result is a quality product with a better value for our customers.
We utilize the latest in CNC machines for fabrication. Our facility uses Ficep steel construction machinery with lines for drilling, coping, sawing, and angle / plate processing. We have worked with Ficep for years, updating our processes as new technology has been made available. We utilize scribe marking, which etches piece mark and placement details on the main members, allowing for less time for measuring and layout, less human error, and quicker fit up and welding.
Erection
We partner with safe and reliable steel erectors to ensure our structural steel is erected safely, in sequence, and on schedule. We ensure that whoever we choose to erect our steel thoroughly understands the project and can meet the project requirements. This is based on previous project history, expertise, and reputation in the industry. We carefully plan, sequence, and ensure our erector can safely and efficiently erect our structural steel.
