Steel Connection Design Services

We provide structural steel connection design services for fabricators, contractors, EPC companies, and construction teams that need practical, fabrication-ready connections for industrial, commercial, warehouse and infrastructure projects.

Our connection engineers design steel connections with close attention to fabrication fit-up, erection requirements, constructability,and applicable design standards. This helps reduce fabrication issues, site rework and approval delays during project execution.

We review connection designs throughout the design process to identify coordination issues, connection conflicts and constructability concerns before fabrication and erection begin.

We support connection design projects using platforms such as IDEA StatiCa, RISA-3D, STAAD.Pro, Tekla Structures, SDS/2 and AutoCAD, based on project requirements and applicable standards.

Our steel connection design services support fabrication and construction projects that require practical, fabrication-ready steel connections for shop fabrication and field installation.

We design connections for structural steel members, bracing systems, trusses, platforms, equipment supports, and miscellaneous steel structures. Our engineers also design and verify aluminum and steel framing, connections, anchorage and foundations for a wide range of site conditions, considering load transfer, weld accessibility, bolt placement, erection feasibility and member fit-up.

Our connection design scope includes:

• Primary steel connection design
• Beam-to-column and beam-to-beam connections
• Moment and shear connection design
• Bracing and truss connection design
• Base plate and splice connection design
• Gusset plate connections
• Miscellaneous and secondary steel connection design (for pipe racks, equipment supports, mezzanine structures, crane support structures and industrial platforms)

Our connection engineers also coordinate with detailing and fabrication teams during the design process. This helps reduce RFIs, field modifications and fabrication delays during project execution.

Our connection design services include structural connection calculations and engineering analysis for steel fabrication and construction projects. Our engineers evaluate loading conditions, connection forces, structural behavior and applicable design requirements to verify connection performance.

Engineering analysis can include:

• Load-based connection analysis
• Bolt and weld design calculations
• Plate and member checks
• Base plate and splice design calculations
• Strength and stability checks
• Connection calculation reports

We support connection engineering requirements based on AISC, AWS, OSHA, IBC and project-specific standards where required.

We provide connection detailing support for steel fabrication and construction projects, translating engineered connection designs into clear information for fabrication drawings, approval submissions and shop-floor production.

Capabilities include:

• Connection detailing
• Weld and bolt detailing
• Shop drawing connection updates
• Connection revisions during approval stages
• Erection fit-up review
• Fabrication-driven connection modifications

Many structural steel projects require the fabricator or steel contractor to provide engineered connection designs based on engineer-of-record (EOR) requirements and project specifications.

We support delegated connection design for projects that require approval calculations, connection revisions, and project-specific connection modifications before fabrication begins.

We help with:

• Delegated steel connection design
• Connection calculation packages
• Approval drawing support
• RFI and revision-based connection updates
