Drawing Office
S H Structures Limited is committed to
involvement from the earliest stages of
a project, aiming to develop a supportive
relationship with the client’s professional
team. Assistance is provided with both,
technical and budget issues and carefully
considered value engineering,
development of connection details and
innovative erection schemes frequently
provide benefits to the construction
programme as well as being more cost
effective.
Seeing the benefit of 3-d modeling some
years ago the company is now at the
forefront in the use this technology
during the development of steel structures.
All our projects are produced using
Tekla Structures software, which enables us
to develop the shapes and forms often
required by our clients, turning abstract
concepts into a working reality.
The software is used throughout the
project's early development through to
it's on site erection and produces the
various general arrangement and
fabrication drawings. It also provides
additional benefits, such as determining
centre of gravity for intricate assemblies.
This information is used in the
development of erection schemes to
provide detailed plans for complex lifts,
ensuring correct placement of difficult
items ‘first time’, reducing the risk to
operatives working at height.
Our teams’ efforts were rewarded with
an award in the Tekla worldwide 3d
modeling competition for the work
carried out on the 2006 Stirling Prize
short-listed project, the National
Assembly for Wales, Cardiff.
