Miscellaneous Steel Detailing Study – Mixed-Use Condo Project, USA

The project encompassed a comprehensive scope of work, including the detailing of stairs, railings, mezzanine framing, storefront structures, canopies, feature columns, elevator details, coffee shop elements, roof framing for Building B, BBQ canopies, privacy and parking screens, gates, fences, mechanical screens, HVAC supports, and more. The development spanned Buildings A, B, and C, each comprising 44 floors, with Building A featuring a dedicated commercial area. Our primary responsibility involved the intricate detailing of the stair structures and railings, a complex task given the continuous elevation from two lower levels to the 42nd floor. Additionally, the skewed roof structure of Building B presented unique challenges, requiring precise connections aligned with client specifications. Frequent design changes during the submission process and tight deadlines further added to the complexity of the project. A critical aspect of the deliverables was producing drawings with dimensions in both metric (mm) and imperial (feet and inches) units to accommodate fabrication in China and subsequent shipping to Hawaii. Advenser's role included developing a detailed 3D structural steel model using Tekla Structures, incorporating both primary and miscellaneous steel components. From this model, the team generated comprehensive erection, fabrication, and single-part drawings, along with Tekla-generated reports such as ABM, BOM, NC files, KISS files, bolt lists, stud lists, and DXF files. These deliverables were designed to streamline the construction process and adhered to AISC, AWS, and OSHA standards, ensuring precision and compliance.
