A structural design is only as good as its execution on the shop floor. At Structve, we eliminate the gap between engineering theory and physical fabrication. Using Tekla Structures, we transform complex structural models into millimeter-accurate, clash-free fabrication packages that move straight from our workstation to the CNC cutting machines and assembly lines.
- Core Focus: Clash-free Tekla detailing, parametric steel/rebar drafting, and zero-error shop drawings that slash construction delays.
- We specialize in detailing heavy-duty, highly intricate structural members—including multi-tier built-up columns, complex column-beam moments, dynamic brace gussets, and heavy equipment support framing.
Our Fabrication Detailing Workflow
1. Millimeter-Accurate Tekla 3D Modeling
We build a data-rich Digital Twin of every structural element before detailing begins. Every weld profile, bolt assembly, and plate thickness is modeled exactly as it will exist in reality.
- Clash Detection: Automating the isolation and resolution of hard and soft geometric clashes between structural members, heavy bracing, and connection gussets.
- Parametric Integrity: Revisions made in the master design update all corresponding drawings instantly, maintaining absolute data consistency across the project.
2. Comprehensive Shop Erection & Assembly Packages
We deliver the complete technical DNA of the structure, optimized for both the shop floor and the field crew.
- Shop Assembly Drawings (MDR/MKD Series): Dedicated drawings detailing every structural assembly item (e.g., Column MKD 2418011-4-310-PR-1002-C034)—explicitly mapping stiffener plate spacing, cap plates, base plate hole configurations, and spliced connection zones.
- Single-Part Component Profiles: Clear, individual sketches for every clip angle, gusset plate, and shear tab to expedite raw material prep.
- Field Erection Layouts: High-level 3D marking plans and anchor bolt layouts that give field crews an intuitive roadmap for swift, safe assembly.
3. Smart Production Data & CNC Integration
Our drawings don’t just communicate visually; they communicate digitally with modern manufacturing infrastructure.
- NC & DSTV Files: Directly exporting automated code from Tekla to drive CNC beam lines, drill lines, and plasma plate cutters.
- Automated Material Take-Offs (BOMs): Instantly generating error-free bolt lists, shipping lists, and precise weight profiles to streamline procurement and shipping logistics.
The Fabrication-Ready Advantage
Zero Field Welds, Zero Field Modifications: By embedding constructibility into our detailing framework, we guarantee that components fit flawlessly when they arrive on site.
- Slashed Lead Times: Directly feeding CNC-compatible data to the shop floor cuts fabrication processing times in half.
- Material Waste Reduction: Nested plate profiles and optimized member lengths reduce scrap and maximize material utilization.
- Streamlined QA/QC: Clear welding symbols, NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) callouts, and rigorous checking protocols ensure worry-free inspection passes.
