Structural steel shop drawings Service

Structural steel shop drawings are detailed construction documents that provide a visual representation and instructions for fabricating and installing structural steel components in a building or construction project. These drawings are a crucial part of the construction process, as they serve as a bridge between the structural engineer’s design plans and the actual fabrication and assembly of steel elements by steel fabricators and erectors.

  1. Purpose:
  • Communication: Shop drawings act as a communication tool between the various stakeholders involved in a construction project, including architects, engineers, steel fabricators, and erectors.
  • Fabrication: They guide steel fabricators in cutting, welding, and shaping steel components to meet the project’s specifications.
  • Installation: Shop drawings provide installation instructions for steel erectors, ensuring that the steel components are placed accurately and securely.
  1. Content:
  • Detailing: Shop drawings contain detailed information about each steel component, including dimensions, material specifications, weld details, bolt sizes, and connection details.
  • Assembly: They show how different steel pieces fit together and are connected, including beams, columns, braces, and connections.
  • Dimensions: Accurate measurements and tolerances are specified to ensure that the steel components fit together precisely.
  1. Approval:
  • Typically, shop drawings are submitted to the project’s design team and engineers for review and approval before fabrication begins.
  • Any discrepancies or issues are addressed and resolved during this review process to ensure that the final steel components meet the project’s design intent and safety standards.
  1. Software:
  • CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software is commonly used to create structural steel shop drawings.
  • 3D modelling software can also be used to provide a more detailed and comprehensive view of the steel components.
  1. Importance:
  • Accuracy: Shop drawings must be highly accurate to avoid costly errors during fabrication and construction.
  • Safety: Properly detailed shop drawings ensure that the structural steel components are safely designed and installed.
  • Efficiency: Well-prepared shop drawings can streamline construction by providing clear instructions to fabricators and erectors.
  1. Codes and Standards:
  • Shop drawings must adhere to local building codes, industry standards, and project-specific requirements.
  • Steel fabrication and erection practices, as well as safety standards, should be followed closely.

What are Structural Steel Shop Drawing Services?

Structural Steel Shop Drawing Services involve the creation of detailed drawings used by fabricators and contractors to manufacture and assemble steel components. These drawings specify materials, dimensions, welding details, bolt locations, and connection types, ensuring the precise execution of structural steel elements on-site.

How do shop drawings differ from design drawings?

Design drawings are typically created by architects or structural engineers and show the overall intent and layout of the structure. Shop drawings, on the other hand, are detailed, fabrication-level documents developed by detailers that include exact specifications, dimensions, and manufacturing instructions tailored to the fabrication process.

What’s included in your shop drawing services?

Our Structural Steel Shop Drawing Services typically include:
Detailed fabrication drawings
Assembly and part drawings
Erection drawings
Anchor bolt layouts
Material take-offs and Bill of Materials (BOM)
Weld and bolt details
CNC and DSTV files (for automated cutting and fabrication)

What software do you use for shop drawing creation?

We use industry-standard software such as:
Tekla Structures
AutoCAD
Advance Steel
Revit (for BIM coordination)
These tools help ensure precision, 3D modeling accuracy, and efficient integration with fabrication technologies.

Do you follow any specific standards or codes?

Yes. We comply with relevant international and regional standards, including:
AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction)
AWS (American Welding Society)
BS (British Standards)
IS (Indian Standards)
We tailor our shop drawings to meet project-specific code requirements.

Can you create shop drawings from architectural or engineering plans?

Absolutely. Our team is experienced in interpreting architectural, structural, and engineering drawings to create accurate and fabrication-ready shop drawings that align with the design intent.

What types of structures do you provide shop drawings for?

We support a wide range of structures, including:
Commercial and residential buildings
Industrial facilities
Warehouses and distribution centers
Bridges and transportation structures
Stadiums and high-rise buildings
If it involves structural steel, we can detail it.
