STEEL DETAILING
In any architectural and engineering project involving the FABRICATION OF A STEEL STRUCTURE, it is necessary to follow a detailed and coordinated process consisting of several interrelated stages:
Stage 1—CONCEPTUAL DESIGN:
The designer or architectural firm develops the overall design of the structure, taking into account both aesthetic and functional aspects.
Phase 2—BASIC STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING:
The structural engineer or structural engineering firm performs the necessary calculations to determine the dimensions and characteristics of structural elements, such as beams, columns, and connections. A “Calculation Report” is generated that details these elements and the types of their connections.
Stage 3—DETAIL ENGINEERING ("Steel Detailing"):
The "STEEL DETAILER" uses the information from the structural analysis report to create a highly detailed 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling) model of the structure, in our case using specialized software such as TEKLA STRUCTURES.
During this process, the "STEEL DETAILER" not only translates structural engineering information into a format understandable for fabrication, optimizes the design to facilitate fabrication and assembly, resolves interferences with other systems (MEP), and designs and proposes detailed design solutions or connections, ensures that the structure is constructible and complies with the design requirements set forth by the standards applicable to the construction of steel structures in each country. The 3D BIM model developed by the "STEEL DETAILER" allows for 3D visualization of the structure and generates all the documentation necessary for fabrication and assembly, such as:
-
Manufacturing Drawings for Assemblies and Parts.
-
Bill of Materials
-
CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) Files
-
Assembly Drawings
-
BIM Models for the Factory and Construction Site.
Stage 4—MANUFACTURING:
The steel components are manufactured based on the drawings and CNC files, in accordance with applicable building codes and standards. During this stage, a “steel detailer” may occasionally advise and assist fabricators, welders, and factory personnel during the work execution process.
Step 5—ERECTION:
The structure is transported to and assembled at the construction site in accordance with the assembly drawings and using the BIM models as a reference. During this step, a "STEEL DETAILER" may occasionally assist the site manager, as he or she has detailed knowledge of the structure’s digital model.
SERVICE 1
"DETAILED ENGINEERING FOR MANUFACTURING"
I offer services for the development of Stages 3, 4 and 5 of a project:
-
Development of a 3D BIM model of steel structures using Tekla Structures. Work based on documentation provided by the client (calculation report developed by an engineering firm plus architectural project documentation).
Generation of manufacturing documentation:
-
Plans for manufacturing assemblies.
-
Drawings for manufacturing component parts of assemblies.
-
CNC files for manufacturing.
-
Bills of Materials.
-
Lists of bolts for connections.
-
Dispatch Lists.
-
Erection Drawings
-
IFC models for manufacturing and assembly management.
* Possible CDE Trimble Connect (Common Data Environment) consulting for project management.
SERVICE 2
"3D MODELING and DESIGN COLLABORATION"
I offer collaborative services with Architects and Engineers in project stages 1 and 2.
I am particularly interested in participating in architectural projects that include complex structures and surfaces, modern and innovative designs, in the style of works such as those carried out by the Zaha Hadid Architects studio ( "Heydar Aliyev Center" , "Guangzhou Opera House" , etc.) or works by the architect Santiago Calatrava or the type of works that involve innovative steel structures such as the
"Museum of the Future" (Dubai), "The Capital Gate" (Abu Dhabi), the " New Real Madrid Stadium ", etc.
-
Due to my knowledge of 3D modeling through the RHINOCEROS 3D software, which allows the modeling of complex structures and surfaces, I can collaborate in early stages of design.
-
I also have knowledge of the GRASSHOPPER plugin which allows for design through parametric modeling.
