Frequently Asked Questions
Miscellaneous Steel Detailing FAQ
What is miscellaneous steel detailing?
Miscellaneous steel detailing is the process of developing detailed models and drawings for secondary and specialty steel components such as stairs, platforms, handrails, ladders, supports and brackets.
What components are included in miscellaneous steel?
Depending on the project, miscellaneous steel can include stairs, ladders, handrails, guardrails, platforms, walkways, equipment supports, brackets, embeds and other specialty steel components.
Can miscellaneous steel be modeled in 3D?
Yes. Miscellaneous steel components can be modeled in three dimensions to coordinate their geometry, connections and interfaces with the surrounding structure.
Can you provide fabrication drawings for miscellaneous steel?
