We finished a whole lot of article on Steel Detailing and 3D modeling services. Now I want you to know a more about topics related to it and they are Structural steel detailing... Yes!! Structural steel detailing is one of the most refined and sophisticated ways of developing prefabricated building components that are entirely error free and are detailed drawings. There are many materials such as metal decking, steel joists, and so many other small and huge steel components that are designed specifically and are used in the construction of buildings, airports, and some industrial plant. The Structural Steel Detailing basically helps in developing and creating amusing design plans that are detailed, the structural drawings and also they create a diversity of construction documents so that they can produce and erect it accordingly.

However, there is a process of drawing that is involved in Structural Steel Detailing and also there are so many complexities that are included in significant structural phases and then follow the construction of the structure. This is not a huge task although but a complicated one at drawing side. Here what one has to do is he has to very easily create a comprehensive and smooth drawing of the entire structure that is to be constructed, right from the assembling of the parts and steel to the handrail using CAD. There is a normal detailing of all the elements that once I mentioned above, the steel columns, metal decking as well as the erection layout is also included. In the whole process of Structural Steel Detailing Services there are entirely two types of drawings that are used in the development. They are-

  1. The fabrication Drawing, and
  2. The Erection Drawings.

Now let me make you understand very well as to what these both refer to?

Fabrication Drawing is basically the one that defines the role of each and every member, their placement as well and also the specifications of the material. Fabrication Drawing is commonly coming to be known Shop drawing. When the process of Structural Steel Detailing starts using the method of Fabrication Drawing, it often uses those latest and adventurous CAD technologies. One such latest CAD technology is AutoCAD that specifically enables the best development of some intricate patterns that mostly define and explain the design, the fabrication and also the material.

Erection drawings, on the other hand, are generally used in creating and generating CAD blueprints detailing location. They are mainly responsible for representing and demonstrating all the required proportions and dimensions of the steel members that are fabricated.

Now after all these small little things, you should know about the Uses of Structural Drafting. Friends, Structural Detailing and Drafting as we have discussed is really important for construction works especially for the development of some areas such as bridges, airports etc. But keeping these things apart it has also materialized itself and come into sight as a very important and imperative component of constructions of Public, commercial and industrial where the elements of steel are basically predominated. These methods and process of Structural Steel Detailing are especially for the manufacturing of some heavy and huge machinery that are meant for both military and civil sectors and the steel fabricators there play a very important role in estimating the basic costs, and also to create designs.
