Structural Detailing

We offer precise, fabrication-ready structural detailing services using Tekla Structures for technology structures, equipment skids, maintenance platforms, and lifting frames, ensuring seamless coordination between engineering design and fabrication while reducing errors, rework, and construction delays.

We specialize in 3D modeling, shop drawings, general arrangement (GA) drawings, connection detailing, and bill of materials (BOM) generation, building each model to exact specifications with every bolt, weld, plate, and cut for complete visualization and fabrication clarity, while ensuring compliance with international standards including AISC, Eurocode, IS 800, ASCE, and API RP 2A.
