For high level of building stability steel detailing services are crucial For assured building stability design and construction professionals must execute steel detailing services once structural engineers come up with extremely remarkable and innovative structural design. In steel detailing process the role of steel detailers is very crucial as they are personally accountable for the generation of detailed structural plans, reports, fabrication drawings and erection drawings etc. with the assistance of software applications such as Tekla and Revit Structure etc.
Building stability and durability cannot be assured until and unless it is constructed after the implementation and execution of all the important engineering services such as steel detailing and drafting, 3D structural modeling services and structural analysis etc. But
among all these services steel detaining services are highly fundamental for the development of structural framework, as information related to fabrication and installation of steel parts is created during this process. It’s absolutely correct that in the absence of precise fabrication drawings in which comprehensive details are provided about steel parts in terms of their fabrications, manufacturing cannot take place. And without manufacturing steel parts such as columns, beams, trusses and joists etc. design and construction professionals cannot develop durable structures. It’s not that only fabrication drawings are developed by detailers during steel detailing they also develop detailed drawings called erection drawings which are important when it comes to the actual erection of the structural framework. In short without the availability of erection drawings steel erectors cannot become successful in the installation of steel members into proper structural framework. Steel erectors require proper guidance when they go ahead with the installation of structural framework in terms of how to place or combine steel members for the formation of structure. So, until and unless steel members are manufactured with accurate shape and size, they cannot be installed accurately in the proposed construction location, and for successfully fulfilling this motive execution of steel detaining services is utmost crucial for design and construction professionals. Apart from steel detailers, structural engineers are also important because they are the one who have to approve fabrication and erection drawings when they are completed by detailers.
