Detail Engineering & Shop Drawing Support for Steel Fabricators

The Challenge

Steel fabricators juggle tight delivery schedules, complex connection designs, and multi-site coordination demands. Designers throw packages downstream; fabricators must interpret, coordinate, and solve problems under deadline pressure. You need experienced detail engineers who understand your workflow and can deliver clash-free shop drawings fast.

Our Solution

BrickBolt specializes in overflow detail engineering support for steel fabricators, contractors, and EPCs. We deliver:

• Detail Engineering – Connection design, calculations, load paths, weld specs
• Shop Drawing Preparation – Fabrication-ready drawings with member lists, connection details, dimensions
• Tekla Modelling – 3D coordination, clash detection, construction sequences
• BIM Coordination – Integration with architect, MEP, and structural models
• Structural Calculations – Member verification, connection checks, code compliance
• Fast Turnaround – Same-day or next-day turnaround on package modifications

What We Support

• Connection Design – Bolted, welded, moment, and pinned connections
• Member Calculations – Tensile, compression, bending, shear, combined stress
• Detail Drawings – Full shop details with fabrication dimensions and tolerances
• BOM Coordination – Material lists, bolt schedules, weld schedules
• Field Modifications – Fast turnaround on site changes and unforeseen conditions
• Multi-Project Support – Retainer arrangements for continuous overflow capacity

Industries & Experience

• Oil & Gas – platform structures, pipe racks, pipe supports, vessels
• Power Generation – boiler supports, turbine foundations, steel frames
• Steel & Fabrication – multi-storey frames, warehouse structures, industrial equipment
• Material Handling – conveyors, lifting frames, bucket elevators, crane supports
• Pharma & Chemical – reactor vessel supports, structural frames, equipment platforms
• Commercial & Industrial – office buildings, factories, warehouses, mezzanines

Software & Tools

• Modelling: Tekla Structures, Revit, MicroStation, AutoCAD
• Analysis: STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, RISA-3D, Autodesk Robot
• Detailing: Tekla, Advance Steel, CADkey, Bluebeam
• Coordination: Tekla BIM, Revit coordination tools, clash detection

Our Process

1. Onboarding – Understand your standards, processes, and CAD/communication protocols
2. Package Receipt – Receive design drawings, project specs, and constraints
3. Analysis & Detailing – Run calculations, design connections, create details
4. Drawing Preparation – Generate shop drawings, BOMs, and fabrication data
5. Coordination – Liaise with design team, contractor, and field on modifications
6. Delivery – Provide drawings, calculations, and coordination data on schedule
