Expert Tekla Steel Detailing Services to Fuel Precision Construction
At CAD Drafters, we provide premier Tekla steel detailing services to help fabricators, engineers, and contractors build projects faster, with less risk of jobsite error, and greater levels of constructability. Whether its producing 3D Tekla modelling, fully dimensional shop drawings, connection design, or BIM coordination, we deliver the right resources to help reduce errors, expedite fabrication and produce structural steel the way you envisioned it.
Tekla 3D Steel Modelling
Our team produces data-rich, fabrication-ready 3D steel models in Tekla Structures. Every column, beam, truss, brace, stair or ladder, is modeled with all of the dimensions required, along with material requirements and connection requirements to ensure that it is streamlined from design to installation.
Shop Drawing Production
We will produce shop drawings from your Tekla model with all the details that will ultimately make a seamless fabrication process. Every shop drawing produced includes bolt layouts, weld symbols, material callouts and CNC info to ensure that components will be fabricated and assembled onsite accurate.
GA (General Arrangement) Drawings
Our precise GA drawings can visually communicate a structural footprint in plan, elevation, and section. They are part of defining how steel components align within grids, other trades, and architectural systems overall, thus reducing errors and installation time in the field.
Connection Design Support
We are the specialists in connection design within Tekla. We model moment, shear, bracing, or axial connections according to your engineering specifications. Each connection is code compliant and fabrication ready, thus providing assurance on structural integrity/construction and allowing for better construction timing.
Steel Fabrication BOMs & CNC Files
In addition to our detailed drawings, we supply accurate Bills of Materials (BOM) and CNC output files derived from your Tekla models. Our deliverables allow your fabrication teams to work to precise part counts, cutting lengths, nesting information, and machine-ready DSTV files, allowing your shop floor to operate optimally with minimum waste and faster throughput.
Clash Detection & BIM Coordination
We provide TK model builds that can integrate fully with other BIM disciplines, and can delivery a model with clashes removed, ready for project coordination. We use Navisworks and other BIM tools to avoid clashes early to avoid issues on site and affecting your project timeline.
Steel Connection Modelling for Fabricators
Our team specialises in customised Tekla connection models to meet your fabrication shop’s standards. Whether it’s base plates or custom joints, we model every connection with practical considerations in mind to make sure it’s manufactured and fabricated correctly to save time and reduce change orders.
Design Detailing for Miscellaneous Steel
We detail everything from stairs, ladders, railings, platforms, and anything else miscellaneous steel. Our Tekla models allow us to ensure that everything works and is presentable, but also that it’s constructible and will fit into and onto the overall building.
Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) Detailing
We provide detailed Tekla modelling, shop drawings and connection detailing for PEMB projects. Our engineering and detailing standards help streamline the manufacturing process and field erection of new and existing PEMB structures to reduce costs and time.
Industrial & Heavy Steel Detailing
We have the capacity and skills to detail heavy industrial projects, such as plants, pipe racks, or offshore structures. Our team provides thorough Tekla models and drawings that can be easily managed within high complexity and safety requirements.
Custom Tekla Template Creation
We can create Tekla templates, libraries and detailing standards that are specific to your fabrication process, enhancing your production process and allowing for the effective use of CNC processes.
Full Tekla BIM Integration
We coordinate Tekla steel models with your architectural and MEP BIM files for total project visualisation. Our work will ensure that every trade collaborates efficiently to reduce RFIs and maximise constructability.
