Structural Steel Detailing & Tekla Modeling
Fabrication shop drawings, erection plans, advanced connection design, and CNC data files generated in Tekla Structures.
High-Fidelity Steel Detailing for Global Engineering Standards
Structural steel detailing requires absolute mathematical precision. Using Trimble Tekla Structures, we construct millimeter-accurate 3D structural steel models containing every beam, column, brace, gusset plate, weld, and bolt assembly. We extract complete fabrication drawing packages, CNC drive files (.NC1 / .DXF), and material summary reports to optimize steel shop fabrication and site erection.
TechSid Solutions provides world-class structural steel detailing, 3D Tekla modeling, shop fabrication drawings, and erection plans for steel fabricators, general contractors, and EPC clients worldwide.
