Structural Steel Detailing Services

Structural Steel Detailing involves creating precise and detailed drawings for steel fabricators and erectors.

These drawings serve as a blueprint for the manufacture and erection of steel components such as columns, beams, trusses, and girders, as well as miscellaneous steel elements like stairs and handrails.

Our structural steel detailing services play a crucial role in ensuring accuracy and efficiency in our construction process. They involve the preparation of comprehensive plans, drawings, and other documents that guide the fabrication and installation of steel structures in buildings, bridges, and various other structures.

Steel detailing is an important bridge between architectural concepts and the fabrication of a structure. It provides detailed drawings which are closely followed by manufacturers to ensure the structure works regarding dimensions, material, connections, finishes, and other factors. This allows for a streamlined manufacturing and erection process, regardless of the size or complexity of the structure.

Steel detailing can be used to assist the manufacturing of structural steel, architectural steelwork, balustrades and handrail systems, stairs, floors and platforms, amongst other structures.

The relevant UK codes and standards which must be taken into consideration when detailing include the 10 Structural Eurocodes:

• EN 1990 Eurocode: Basis of structural design
• EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on structures
• EN 1992 Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures
• EN 1993 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
• EN 1994 Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structures
• EN 1995 Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures
• EN 1996 Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures
• EN 1997 Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design
• EN 1998 Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance
• EN 1999 Eurocode 9: Design of Aluminium Structures.

The laws are regularly changing. Here at Bromsgrove Steel, our structural steel detailing services always abide by the latest regulation requirements. Contact us to find out more.

A steel detailer is responsible for creating detailed drawings and plans for the fabrication and erection of steel structures. They work closely with architects and engineers to ensure that the structural design is accurately translated into the construction documents. Steel detailers primarily focus on the technical aspects of the project, such as the size, shape, and location of steel members, connections, and other components.

On the other hand, a structural engineer is responsible for designing and analysing the overall structural system of a building or structure. They calculate loads, determine the appropriate materials, and ensure that the structure is safe, efficient, and compliant with building codes and regulations. Structural engineers collaborate closely with architects, contractors, and other professionals to guarantee the structural integrity and safety of the project.

Here at Bromsgrove Steel, we offer both types of services, guiding your ideas from design to erection and ensuring that your project adheres to UK regulations. To learn more, explore our Structural Steel Erection Services.
