Connection Design

AISC-compliant connection design and calculations from licensed structural engineers.

Overview

What This Service Covers

Delegated connection design is one of the most common sources of schedule delay on a structural steel project. Our in-house engineering team designs and calculates connections to meet both the project's structural intent and your shop's fabrication standards.

We work directly from the structural engineer of record's design loads and general notes, producing connection designs and calculation packages that hold up to review the first time, reducing back-and-forth RFI cycles before fabrication can begin.

Ideal For

Fabricators, general contractors, and engineering firms across the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia who need connection design handled by a team fluent in both the drawings and the shop floor.
