Structural Detailing is the art of producing detailed drawings for
steel fabricators / steel erectors so that fabrications go together
first time every time. At Hamilton By design the process of detailing
is a combination of set out, layouts and detailed plans which generally
cover drawings and other documents for the manufacture and erection of
steel structures.
Steel Structures can be broken into Columns, Beams,
Braces, Trusses, Stairs, Handrails, Joists, Brackets and mechanical
components that are used in the construction of building, bridges,
industrial plants, and non building structures. Steel detailing projects
completed by the Hamilton By design team have been a combination of
commercial, residential, public, industrial or municipal. In general
terms low-rise residential projects are rarely large enough to require
significant amounts of structural steel.
Today, AutoCAD drafting
has been largely replaced by Solid modelling CAD packages such as
SolidWorks. A steel detailer using SolidWorks has been proven to
increase there output by 100% compared to 3D Auto-desk Auto-cad
traditional methods of detailing.
