Structural Steel Connection Design Services

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

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

Connection designs are thoroughly reviewed during the design process to help identify coordination issues, connection conflicts, and constructability concerns earlier before fabrication and erection activities begin.

We support projects using design and detailing platforms such as IDEA StatiCa, Risa 3D, STAAD Pro, Tekla Structures, SDS2, 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. Connection designs are developed with close attention to 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 also include structural connection calculations and engineering analysis for steel fabrication and construction projects.

Connection calculations are developed based on loading conditions, structural behavior, connection forces, and applicable design standards. Our engineers review bolt capacities, weld strength, plate thickness, connection geometry, and load paths during the design process to help reduce connection issues during fabrication and erection.

Engineering analysis can include:

• Connection calculations
• Bolt and weld calculations
• Base plate calculations
• Anchor rod checks
• Load path analysis
• Connection capacity validation
• Code compliance checks
• Connection design 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 that require engineered connection details 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
