  • When to Provide HDG for Structural Steel

    We should have a clear understanding of when HDG (Hot-Dip Galvanizing) is required for structural steel.

    If the structural notes state that “exposed steel shall be treated with HDG,” then HDG should be provided for steel that is exposed to weather.

    However, if the steel is located inside the building and is not exposed to weather, it should not be considered exposed steel. In such cases, the steel should be treated with primer or paint, as specified in the structural notes.

    By correctly understanding the project specifications and applying the appropriate surface treatment, we can avoid unnecessary HDG costs. This will help us optimize the project cost and provide a cost-effective solution while meeting the client’s requirements.

  • RHS/SHS Material Grade – Client Alert for Grade 450

    Client must be informed of NON-STANDARD Grades.

    In many projects, RHS/SHS members are commonly supplied in Grade 350. However, if the structural design specifically requires Grade 450, this must be identified and brought to the client’s attention at the MTO or detailing stage.

    Why we have to identify the Grade 450?

    Grade 450 is a higher-strength material compared with Grade 350. The higher material grade can also affect the material availability, procurement cost and project quotation.

    Therefore, Grade 450 requirement identified early can help the client account for the correct material cost in the quotation and procurement stage.

    Mildura Christian College- Classroom & Amenities

    We are proud to be a part of the team in Mildura Christian College project.

    Our detailing team worked closely with architects to ensure tolerances and offsets were met without compromising design intent With a limited fabrication and erection window, our detailing team adopted a fast-track workflow using Tekla Structures for 3D modeling.

    This allowed us to provide early shop drawings for procurement and parallel review of sections still under coordination.
