I have written extensively on structural steel detailing and today I feel like explaining the systematic method which is adopted for the production of fabrication drawings and erection drawings. Fabricators and steel erectors are the main users of fabrication and erection drawings and these drawings are only generated by steel detailers.
Both these drawings are very important for structural engineers as they are necessary for the development of structural framework. The main intention of hiring structural steel detailing services is to create effective information related to the manufacturing and installation of structural components.
Fabrication Drawings are those drawings which provide comprehensive information associated to manufacturing to manufacturers. Steel detailers work round the clock for developing such drawings as they have to include all the minor fabrication related details in the drawings. If they miss to include even minor details in the drawings, fabricators can have tough time interpreting the drawings.
Shape, size and dimensions of the components should be included neatly in the drawings. Apart from that material specifications are also included in the drawings which help in enhancing the understanding of manufacturers about structural components which have to be manufactured by them.
Other important drawings which are created by steel detailers are erection drawings and they are absolutely important for the eventual erection of structural framework. They are required to assist steel erectors throughout the erection process.
The quality check for fabrication drawings and erection drawings is done by structural engineers who have to review the each and every section of these drawings before they are provided to manufacturers and steel erectors. It is compulsory that fabrication and erection drawings are approved by structural engineers before information contained in them is finally utilized.
