Product Overview
Steel Fabrication by Drawings is a build-to-print fabrication service for structural steel members and assemblies manufactured from approved drawings. It is supplied as a project-specific solution rather than a fixed catalogue item. Geometry, member sizes, connections, protection systems and delivery segmentation are confirmed from approved documents.
The engineering and fabrication scope can coordinate customer design documents, approved shop drawings, inspection plans and shipping schedules. Early review of drawings, loads, site conditions and transport limits helps define a practical supply package and reduces interface risk.
Product Core Parameters

| Surface protection | Selected for exposure, service life and maintenance plan |
| Delivery | Component size, marking and sequence coordinated with transport and erection |
Key Features
- Project-specific engineering: The steel fabrication by drawings is developed around drawing control, revision management, dimensional compliance and traceability; final member sizes and details follow approved calculations and drawings.
- Coordinated interfaces: Design and detailing account for customer design documents, approved shop drawings, inspection plans and shipping schedules, reducing conflicts during fabrication and site assembly.
- Controlled prefabrication: CNC processing, documented fit-up and controlled welding improve dimensional consistency and traceability before shipment.
- Connection detailing: Bolted, welded and bearing interfaces are coordinated with the actual load path, access, tolerances and erection method.
- Inspection planning: Material verification, dimensional checks, weld inspection and specified NDT are tied to the approved quality plan.
- Delivery-ready documentation: Member marks, packing lists, inspection records and erection information are prepared to match the agreed supply scope.
Main Components

- 02 — Trusses and bracing assemblies: Detailed and fabricated according to its structural function, connection requirements and approved drawings.
- 03 — Connection plates and stiffeners: Detailed and fabricated according to its structural function, connection requirements and approved drawings.
- 04 — Platforms, stairs and access steelwork: Detailed and fabricated according to its structural function, connection requirements and approved drawings.
- 05 — Welded subassemblies: Detailed and fabricated according to its structural function, connection requirements and approved drawings.
- 06 — Project-specific fabricated components: Detailed and fabricated according to its structural function, connection requirements and approved drawings.
Typical Applications
01 — EPC and engineering packages
Suitable where the project requires drawing control, revision management, dimensional compliance and traceability. Final suitability depends on loads, geometry, site conditions, interfaces and applicable regulations.
02 — Structural steel contractor supply
Suitable where the project requires drawing control, revision management, dimensional compliance and traceability. Final suitability depends on loads, geometry, site conditions, interfaces and applicable regulations.
03 — Industrial and commercial construction
Suitable where the project requires drawing control, revision management, dimensional compliance and traceability. Final suitability depends on loads, geometry, site conditions, interfaces and applicable regulations.
