Steel detailing is important for tackling complex design issues!

Steel detailing services are the need of the hour when it comes to developing buildings exclusively with steel. Highly competent professionals are involved in the design and development of structural framework such as engineers, who have academic degrees in structural and civil engineering, detailers who possess high software as well as detailing skills, surveyors who deal with the technicalities of the proposed land and architects who provide huge support to structural engineers when they develop structural design.

Detailing is predominantly a process of generating high end structural drawings which can be employed during fabrication of steel members and erection of steel structure. Clients’ primary demand when they hire steel detailing services remains the accuracy of the drawings, as they are used for exceedingly indispensable purpose. Clients’ demand 100% accuracy in these drawings, and are not ready to compromise on this aspect since it can otherwise create huge hindrances and interruptions in manufacturing of steel parts and development of the structure. Loss of time, money and efforts also results due to inaccuracies in steel shop drawings and erection drawings, which are the fundamental and imperative outputs of steel detailing process. All kinds of construction activities wherein steel is involved, execution of steel detailing services becomes overriding. When shop drawings and erection drawings are developed by detailers it becomes vital for them to maintain uniform communication between architects, structural engineers, and contractors so that clarity can be maintained on structural design specifically on the dimensions and sizes of steel components.

Following detailing standards that are created by reliable international organizations is also highly compulsory for creating authentic and legitimate fabrication drawings and erection drawings. For high end manufacturing of steel parts, information incorporated in fabrication drawings must cover all the important aspects of structural design. Clear details should be provided to fabricators about welding, bolting, painting etc apart from information on dimensions of steel parts.

Dealing with complex design situations is a common practice which is tackled by steel detailers with the support of structural engineers as they keep asking everything related to design during detailing. Output produced by steel detailers has to be examined, evaluated and approved by structural engineers before it is utilized. In this way, inaccurate drawings can be restricted from use, until they are fully corrected.
