SANS 10162

The structural use of steel in South Africa (Parts 1 & 2). Standardized bolt spacings, edge distances & connection capacities.

SANS 10160

Basis of structural design and actions for buildings and industrial structures. Dead, live, wind and seismic clearances.

SANS 282

Bending dimensions and scheduling of steel reinforcing for concrete structures, plinths and cast-in hold-down assemblies.

AISC / BS EN

AISC 360 & BS EN 1090 execution of steel structures for international fabricators and offshore export projects.

From Concept Design to Fabrication Set

Our structured 4-step detailing workflow guarantees zero clashes on site and seamless workshop fabrication.

01

Scope & Engineering Review

We ingest your engineering drawings, architectural layouts, or 3D scan point clouds, verifying member sizing, gridlines, and connection criteria.

02

Parametric 3D BIM Modeling

Every beam, column, plate, gusset, bolt, and weld is modeled in full 3D. Clash detection eliminates costly workshop fitting errors before steel is cut.

03

Shop & CNC Generation

Automated extraction of fabrication sheets, assembly drawings, single-part DXFs, and NC1 machine files for beam drill lines and plate cutting beds.

04

Erection Sets & Handover

Comprehensive erection General Arrangements (GAs), 3D anchor bolt layouts, bolt lists, and material cutting lists delivered in clean PDF and DWG formats.
