Project Description

our client is an emerging structural steel service stationed in Ohio, US. The organization is proficient in full-service steel fabrication, steel erection, project management, design, detailing, and transport services. Employing an efficient team, the organization successfully handles complex steel fabrication and fast-track projects on time. With a critical focus on safety, it offers value engineering in all its operations. Being an active member of AISC, the organization ensures a quality system across all areas of management responsibility, contract review, document and data control, purchasing, inspection, and more.

Client Requirement: Steel Erection Drawings in KISS Standard

The client required a detailed structural shop drawing and erection drawing to facilitate steel structure project construction. And the project comprised heavily sloped truss members, catwalk structures, parking garage, auditorium, etc. They approached Shivani Engineering Services (SES) team after studying and investigating our trade and endeavor. Some input documents, like structural design drawing set and architectural design drawings, were provided. They asked us to deliver connection design reports, erection and shop drawings in KISS files, DX files, NC1, including other procedure manuals and detailed reports.

Major Project Challenge: A Fast Track Project with Complex Connection Design

The project had a tight deadline and involved complex connection design. As we know, connection design is one of the biggest challenges of steel projects and requires a lot of time. Therefore, we formed a team with structural engineers and fabrication experts skilled in Tekla software. A well-planned calendar with dedicated hours for simple, moderate, and complex connection designs supported timely delivery.

Erection Drawing Process Followed the Sivani Engineering Team

SES divided the whole erection drawing process into four primary steps. And each Step has a defined timeline with set quality standards to achieve the project deadline. The steps followed by SES for this Erection drawing project are as follows.

1. Analysis – The dedicated team analyzed the AutoCAD structural and architectural drawings. Using Tekla software and its advanced features, we developed a structural 3D model for an in-depth visualization.

2. Develop Erection Drawings – Using the structural 3D model, the team developed erection drawings in-lined to the specifications asked from the client. It included beams, columns, stairs, and enlarged connection details.

3. Shop Drawing – We developed supported erection drawings for other structural components and then a detailed shop drawing.

4. Quality Check – SES team performed a precise QC of the shop drawings and erection drawings. Finally, we shared these drawings in KISS file format with the client.

On-time and Precise Shop Drawing Meet the Client Expectations

The precision of erection and shop drawings are essential for steel erectors in the final installation and also to resolve issues of manufacturers. Our proactive communication and real-time data sharing helped them track the project status continuously. The client acknowledged and admired the quality, precision, and detailing standards of our drawings and other records. Our effort of on-time project delivery helped them stay on schedule.
