Structural Steel Detailing is the process of creating detailed drawings and models for the fabrication and construction of steel structures. It involves translating engineering and architectural design information into detailed plans, drawings, and specifications that can be used by steel fabricators and construction teams.
Steel detailing is a specialized discipline that transforms construction documents, including structural engineering and architectural drawings, into comprehensive instructions for steel fabricators and erectors. The goal is to create a robust steel structure that serves as the backbone of a building, seamlessly integrating with its other components. This intricate process requires a blend of technical knowledge, precision, and artistic interpretation, as each detail contributes to the overall functionality and aesthetics of the building.

At Solid Pier, we harness the power of cutting-edge CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) technologies to produce highly accurate shop drawings. Our goal is to provide our clients with the tools they need to reduce fieldwork costs and ensure precision in assembly at the job site. But we don’t stop there. Our innovative detailers go above and beyond, developing practical solutions for even the most complex design challenges. In these instances, we collaborate closely with the project’s architect and engineer of record to ensure that our solutions are both feasible and effective. At Solid Pier, we’re not just providing a service – we’re partnering with our clients to bring their visions to life.

Our team utilizes cutting-edge software and tools, including Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, and Revit, to develop precise 3D models and detailed drawings. We adhere to industry standards and codes, such as AISC, CISC, and Eurocodes, guaranteeing compliance with structural integrity and safety requirements.

Collaboration lies at the heart of our approach. We work closely with architects, engineers, contractors, and steel fabricators to address design challenges, resolve conflicts, and streamline the construction process. Our detailed drawings serve as a foundation for efficient steel fabrication, ensuring accurate cutting, welding, and assembly of steel members.

With our on-site support, we ensure a smooth construction phase, assisting with any issues that may arise and verifying the proper installation of steel components. We take pride in our adaptability to projects of various complexities, from commercial buildings to bridges and stadiums.
