Comprehensive Technical Analysis
At Consac.com, we understand that the integrity of a structure begins with the precision of its detailing. Our steel deck shop drawings are not merely sketches; they are comprehensive data models that drive the fabrication and erection process. By integrating Contract Drawings analysis with advanced BIM modeling, we bridge the gap between architectural vision and structural reality.
1. Analysis of Contract Drawings
The foundation of our workflow begins with a rigorous audit of the contract drawings. Our engineers identify potential conflicts (clashes) between the steel deck, structural steel framing, and MEP systems before a single line is drafted. This "pre-detailing" phase mitigates RFI (Request for Information) delays later in the project lifecycle.
Key Output: A preliminary discrepancy report highlighting structural ambiguities, enabling engineers to clarify design intent early.
2. Erection Drawings & Logistics
Our erection drawings serve as the on-site roadmap. Designed for clarity and safety, they include detailed deck layouts, direction of span, shoring requirements, and fastening patterns. We customize sheet sizes and scales to suit the specific needs of the field crew, ensuring readability in challenging site conditions.
- Tagging Systems: Logical piece-marking for efficient off-loading and hoisting.
- Section Details: Clear visual instructions for complex edge conditions and penetrations.
3. Advanced Bill of Materials (BOM)
Using 3D modeling software, we generate BOMs with 99.9% accuracy. This data allows for precise procurement, reducing waste and storage costs. We account for sheet overlap, cutting allowances, and accessories (closure plates, sump pans).
4. Structural Design & Validation
We don't just draw; we verify. Our team checks deck span capabilities against the specified loading (dead loads, live loads, and construction loads). We ensure that the selected gauge and profile (e.g., 1.5" B-Deck, 3" N-Deck) meet the SDI requirements for the given span conditions.
5. Fabrication Shop Drawings
The final output is the shop drawing set—detailed instructions for the manufacturing of every unique deck sheet and accessory. This includes cut lists, bending schedules for pour stops, and specific instructions for galvanization or painting.
