DETAILING

 

WHAT DO WE DO

 

Struct India Consultant is an India owned company that is setup specially to provide services to engineers and construction companies of Europe and America.

 

Our area of expertise are:

Reinforced concrete detailing

 

Using the design information from our clients, the production of reinforced concrete detail drawings as per British standards are done. We do all our detailing using CADS-RC software.

 

Structural Steel Detailing

 

Production or erection drawing and detail drawings for steel frame building using specialist software, based on our clients design data.

 

Civil Engineering

 

Detailing of concrete structures, bridges and roads.

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

We do all our detailing using specialist software, which reduces likelihood of errors and allows changes to be made easily, following the British Standards and Industry standards such as the Institution of Structural Engineers' Standard Method of Detailing Structural Concrete. We use CADS-RC for concrete detailing. The bar bending schedules are produced automatically from the completed drawing.

 

Detailing Instructions

 

To start detailing we need the following:

 

• Structural general arrangement drawings in AutoCAD format. Microstation files should be converted to AutoCAD (.dwg), which will include all plans, sections and details.
• Detailing instructions from the engineer, either as sketches, A4 calculation sheets, and marked-up copies of the GA's or output from a design software package.
• Concrete pour layout if more than one pour per floor.
• We advice our clients to fill a Project Briefing Sheet, a form asking for general information on the project such as, which British Code we should follow, kicker height, minimum cover and maximum length of bars available on site and what issue procedures you like us to follow.
