Finding the Right Steel Detailing Company
Steel detailing, the process of creating steel structure concept drawings, plays an important role in the construction industry. This process creates engineered drawings steel fabricators and erectors use that indicate size, orientation, and location in a three-dimensional space. These detailed plans allow the fabricator to build steel pieces per your design and make it possible for the erector to install the pieces on site. Steel detailing can provide drawings for an array of objects, including trusses and columns, used in building a variety of structures. Getting these drawings done correctly is crucial for a project’s success.
Know the Types of Steel Detailing
The industry uses two styles of steel detailing – erection drawings and shop drawings. A steel erector depends on the erection drawing for assembling the structure on site. The drawing indicates precisely where and how to arrange the item. The instructions will include dimensions for arranging the pieces among other items on site, as well as any specific instructions or requirements needed during or after the installation. This last part details any remaining work that we could not do in the shop.
The shop drawing is used in fabrication facilities. This includes detailed prerequisite work to be done prior to fabrication and instructions for making each piece. The steel detailing artist will add material specifications, dimensions, piece sizes, and anything else the fabrication shop needs to know for completing the parts.
errorPicking the Right Detailer for Your Project
Any construction or manufacturing job needs a steel detailer. They play critical roles in project development and production and make even the most complicated projects simple to implement. Ensure the company you visit is familiar with the requirements for drawing designs, complies with these rules, and follows all standards and protocols set forth by the industry and the American Institute of Steel Construction and the American Welding Society. The company must submit drawings to an architect or structural engineer for thorough examination before releasing them to a fabrication company.
