Built for the Site

Easy, accurate installation

Our drawings are made for the erection crew as much as for the shop, so every piece goes up in the right place, the right way, the first time.

Clear erection drawings

Erection plans, elevations and sections with piece marks that match the marks stamped on the steel, so crews can find and place every member quickly.

Accurate anchor rod layouts

Anchor rod plans dimensioned from the gridlines, with rod projections, base plate orientation and levelling plates, so the foundations are ready before the steel arrives.

Elevations & orientation

Top of steel elevations and orientation marks on every piece, so members go in the right way up and the right way round.

Field bolt & weld lists

Field bolts listed by connection and field welds clearly flagged, so the right bolts and welding crews are on site when they're needed.

Fit-up checked in 3D

Every connection is checked in the 3D model for clashes and erection clearances, so pieces bolt up on site without cutting, reaming or rework.

Erection sequence

Drawings can be grouped by area or sequence to match how the job is erected, so the crew only handles what they need for each stage.

Software

Modelled in 3D, delivered how you need it

Primary Detailing Platform

Tekla Structures

Every project is built as a full 3D model in Tekla Structures. Drawings, reports and CNC files all come from the same model, so pieces fit, quantities match and revisions carry through to every sheet automatically. We work in imperial or metric to suit the project.

Review & Markup

Bluebeam Revu

Design drawings are reviewed and marked up in Bluebeam, and approval comments are tracked item by item so that no change is missed between submittal and fabrication.
