Structural Steel detailing Projects and Lesson learned

5 Carr Place, Myaree, WA 6154 TEK1 recently completed the project Audi Centre Myaree a Audi Car showroom in Western Australia. This impressive structure is a 100-tonne steel building, featuring two floors and a main roof, exemplifying modern design and engineering precision. Scope of Work: Steel and Precast Panels Our scope for this project included detailing both steel and precast panels. Managing these two critical elements simultaneously required meticulous coordination and attention to detail. The integration of steel and precast detailing enabled us to ensure accurate connections between the two systems, delivering a seamless result. Overcoming Challenges with Precision Handling both steel and precast in a single project can often lead to coordination challenges. However, thanks to TEK1’s skilled team and advanced detailing processes, we completed the project without any hitches. Our approach ensured that all connections were detailed precisely, aligning perfectly with the design ...

Continuing from our previous blog on the EMU IN THE SKY project, this post delves into the challenges and solutions for positioning the branches into the globe structure. Challenges with the Original Design The initial structural design, while visually impressive, posed significant challenges during the erection phase. The lack of tolerance in positioning the branches made the process more complicated, increasing the risk of errors and time-consuming adjustments. EMU team proposal To overcome this, the team introduced: Circular Plates with Holes: A circular plate with pre-drilled holes was introduced, allowing for precise alignment of the branches. Slotted Holes in the Outer Stub: Slotted holes were added to the outer stub welded to the globe. This innovation offers adjustable positioning, making the assembly process significantly easier and more efficient In this method we can place the branches plate in any rotation. Why This Design is Feasible The updated design not only simplifies ...

This project was detailed a while before. However I am posting this now We have detailed transfer structure, conveyors, Chutes, Vibrating Grizzlys on this particular projects. These Items are typical for mining projects. There is a fair bit of care required when it comes to bracing to avoid weld clash. At Tek1, it is our standard practice to check all handrails , stairs, ramps ladder to relevant standard. We do not simply go by the Engineer Architect drawings. We check whether it will comply. Actually, once can simply tell us, put a stair here, give us the heights and spacing available, we could detail a stair for you, which will comply to Australian standards (AS1657 or AS1428 as the case may be) This video show cases a few elements of the mining structure. https://youtu.be/f3qBY3xwrPA?si=GZ49Bkg91AuzLF91 https://www.tek1.com.au/steel-detailing/mining-structures/

Author: RAJ (Arokiaraj Arputharaj), an expert in simplified structures for residential projects, also specializes in structural steel drafting. Simple to fabricate and easy to install, is the mantra when it comes to structural steel for residential. Residential projects run on a budget. When they do, cost saving detials are usually missed by the engineer and architect. At Tek1, we see, check and recommend cost saving alternatives. 90% of the time our proposals are accepted saving cost to fabricator and builder. Our simple philosophy is , if it complicated to detail, it will be more expensive for fabricator. Keep it simple. https://www.tek1.com.au/projects/structural-steel-drafting-residential-project/

TEK1 is share our involvement in the West Gate Tunnel Project – specifically with Bridge #75 Veloway WD to Footscray Road. As part of this prestigious infrastructure development, we successfully detailed the steel staircase cladding, adding both functionality and visual appeal to the project. Key Features of the Staircase Cladding In this project, the staircase is enclosed with aluminium cladding, which enhances its durability and aesthetic. A standout feature of the cladding is its perforated design, providing an appealing finish while ensuring ventilation and reducing overall weight. Below Snap Represents the steel staircase without cladding. Engineering Precision The cladding is securely fixed to the main steel structure of the staircase, requiring precise coordination between steel and aluminium detailing. Our team at TEK1 ensured that all fixing points were carefully detailed to accommodate the unique requirements of perforated cladding, maintaining structural integrity and ease o...

As a steel detailer, nothing compares to the satisfaction of seeing your detailed model come to life. I recently had the opportunity to witness the fabrication of one of my detailing projects in Australia. Balustrading for Foot Bridge The detailing was executed seamlessly, with no challenges for the fabricator or erectors. It was fulfilling to see the effort and attention to detail pay off in real-world application. https://youtu.be/XvtOERNFpJU https://www.tek1.com.au/steel-detailing/from-model-to-reality-detailing-a-foot-bridge-project/

Tek1 recently completed a barrier replacement project for a renowned organization in Australia. This project, located near Sydney, involved replacing existing barriers with new ones, and it came with its unique challenges.The task was to detail a new 536-meter-long barrier while ensuring the anchor holes for the new posts did not clash with the existing steel posts. Aligning anchor holes without clashes presented difficulties in maintaining consistent linear post distances. This required precise planning and coordination. Through multiple meetings with the client, we finalized the post locations that balanced structural integrity with practicality. This approach ensured the barrier was installed seamlessly without disrupting the existing infrastructure. The result was a well-executed barrier replacement, meeting the client's expectations and delivering a durable solution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQsu4rwL-Ko https://www.tek1.com.au/steel-detailing/peatsferry-bridge-barriers/

Ferrule bolts do need nuts to be ordered. If your bolt report has ferrule bolts, then you have to specify what is the Bolt Dia and Length of the Bolt dia. Also you must specify no nut required. The other thing to note is that, You cannot give extra length. Your bolt length should be a bit less than the Thread in the ferrule + the washer + the material to be bolted. If we nomintate extra length, then the Bolt will bottom out on the ferrule. Problems with Incorrect specifications. - Any thing like FEB in bolt report does not make any sense to our clients. - Unless we annotate nuts are not required, large number of nuts will be purchased - If we give extra length, the bolt cannot be used. Costing significant delays at site. https://www.tek1.com.au/tekla-modelling-tips/specifying-ferrule-bolts/
