Project Overview
This project involved structural steel detailing for a large-scale industrial processing facility — a demanding scope encompassing interconnected processing-line framing, material-handling support structures, and equipment-support assemblies across multiple areas of the facility.
AFAR Steel Detailing produced complete 3D Tekla Structures models capturing all primary and secondary steel members, bracing systems, and connection details with fabrication-level accuracy. The models illustrate how steel members and supporting assemblies are arranged and coordinated across industrial processing areas.
The deliverables included general arrangement drawings and individual steel-member fabrication details — providing the fabricator with the documentation required to manufacture and erect the structural steel without ambiguity.

Technical Capabilities Demonstrated
Complex Structural Framing
Detailed three-dimensional models illustrating how steel members and supporting assemblies are arranged across industrial processing areas — capturing primary framing, bracing, and connection interfaces with fabrication-level precision.
Equipment Support Structures
Modelling of structural steel systems associated with material-handling and processing equipment, including support frames, columns, and bracing coordinated to suit equipment loads and installation requirements.
Processing-Line Framing Systems
Complete 3D models of interconnected processing-line steel framing — capturing multi-bay column grids, beam layouts, cross-bracing, and the structural interfaces between adjacent processing areas.
Member & Connection Detailing
Precise detailing of individual steel members including wide-flange beams, columns, angle bracing, and connection assemblies — each documented with dimensions, bolt patterns, weld symbols, and material grades.
General Arrangement Drawings
Multi-level plan and elevation drawings showing overall structural layout, gridline references, top-of-steel elevations, and framing dimensions to support erection coordination and construction sequencing.
Fabrication Documentation
Arrangement drawings and individual steel-member details providing the complete documentation required for fabrication — issued with all dimensions, specifications, and bill-of-material schedules.
