Always Check Beam Stock Lengths Before Detailing
When detailing steel, one important factor that’s often overlooked is the stock length of the beams. Confirming this early can prevent major rework later in the project. Recently, we worked on a façade support steel project that involved several CHS beams. Normally, CHS sections are available up to 12 meters in length. However, in this…

TEK1’s Steel Detailing for Sydney Metro – Resolving Design Challenges – 6
In this blog, I’d like to share an issue we faced related to hanger locations. In this job, the floor steel was supported from the slab soffit. Initially, we placed the hangers as per the design drawings. However, during coordination with the concrete model, we discovered a slab void exactly at one of the hanger…

Hunter Street Ramps & Gates
The Hunter Street Project involves a total of three unique ramp and gate assemblies, each designed with a distinctive geometry and function. Unlike conventional ramps that slope in a single direction or follow a straight alignment, these ramps are far from ordinary. Each one features multiple slopes and apex lines, requiring precise modeling and coordination…

Media wall
TEK1 recently completed a media wall support project for a prominent organization in Australia. The goal was to provide detailed support steelwork for a large media wall screen — with a unique challenge. Unlike most projects, we didn’t receive any structural design drawings. Instead, we were given only a concept design, leaving it to TEK1…

How TEK1 Solved the Complicated Star Node Puzzle in Great EMU in the Sky
At TEK1, we believe great detailing is more than just precision—it’s about understanding real-world challenges and turning complexity into clarity. The Challenge The Great EMU in the Sky project presented one of the most unique and technically demanding structures we’ve ever worked on—a 30-metre-wide globe made up of 128 intricate “star nodes” connecting the bracing…
