The global construction market is expected to grow by USD 8 trillion by 2030. With the construction of skyscrapers and iconic structures burgeoning across the globe, a large quantity of steel is being used in infrastructure developments. This is one of the rising trends observed in cities and states that are densely populated. According to a recent report, over 50 percent of the world’s steel production is used by the construction industry.
Constructing sustainable as well as remarkable structures have become a new norm in most metro cities. The world’s stunning structures such as the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, Burj Khalifa, and various other marvelous examples of modern architecture across the world are built using tons of steel. Steel retains an extremely high overall recycling rate, as it can be recycled continually owing to its metallurgical properties. Moreover, due to the design flexibility and endurance, it offers a structure, it is one of the preferred choices of architects. Hence, there is a significant growth potential for use of steel in construction and manufacturing landscapes, both in developing and developed economies. This, in turn, makes the steel detailing companies play a vital part in sustainable construction solutions, which enables them in the development of low-carbon neutral buildings.
The high-paced growth in the development of incredibly engineered steel structures has made the field of structural steel detailing services to become technologically innovative. Whether it is about setting up a multi-storey restaurant or building an apartment, clients look for top-notch construction. Structural steel detailing requires the utmost level of accuracy.

Addressing the project challenges with the right solution
One of the clients of IdeaNet Solutions located in Newport News, Virginia approached the IdeaNet Solutions team for one of their projects for steel detailing services. However, the project had numerous challenges. Firstly, no field weld/ bolt was permitted for this project as it had to go inside a vessel and all assembling work was done in the shop and shipped as one single unit to the field. Secondly, there was no Architectural / Field survey service available for the project and the contract drawings had limited dimensions. Lastly, the project required high-level 3D work due to the geometry of the stair.
Perfectly understanding the aforementioned challenges of the project, IdeaNet Solutions Inc came up with a solution that addressed these challenges using the Tekla Software. IdeaNet prepared very detailed shop drawings with all relevant dimensions to construct the structure such as stairs, platforms, and rails together. Another challenge was the lack of dimensions in contract drawings. IdeaNet started 3D works with available dimensions as the IdeaNet team’s main concern was to follow standard safety dimensions for stairs within available dimensions.
Therefore, IdeaNet successfully met all standards and required dimensions, and the EOR approved all the arrangements that it prepared. Moreover, as the stair header was not parallel to the stair walk, it required a high-level 3D model work. The skilled professionals of IdeaNet through their R&D efforts found a solution to get this 3D work done. Hence, IdeaNet provided the client with the right solution that met all the requirements of the project.
