JOIST AND GIRDER SERVICES
Steel Joist Design and Detailing Services ...Email For More Information
With over 43 years working in the structural steel industry, we have been designing and detailing OWSJ bar joist since 2002. We can provide structural analysis and shop drawings for bar joist with bridging and supporting steel girders professionally designed and drawn with clear details for the fabricators and erectors, engineers and architects. We provide experience and support to fabricators involved in providing joist to the structural steel construction industry including establishing supply chain requirements.
Our joist engineers and detailing staff have technical expertise in joist design and detailing and will incorporate your projects specific requirements for approval by the EOR. The detailers follow the joist engineers technical details which include but are not limited to:
- Joist Uplift • Sloped Seats • Snow Drift Loads • Loads From RTU's • Added Loads on Bottom Chords • Seismic Loads • Dead Loads • Collateral Loads • Deflection Criteria • Joist Depth • Span Length and all criteria necessary as required by the EOR.
- We can provide FEA analysis for structural steel projects.
Considering today's steel prices, custom designed joist can save time and money.
BIM Modelling ...
All of our joist shop drawings are created in a structural 3D environment using Tekla Structures as a modelling software. This means that we can import from Revit or export to all modern BIM formats such as Navisworks. Automation tools and components have been developed that keep the cost of shop drawings low, while assuring that the steel will fit at the jobsite.
Engineering and Programming...
Using FEA Analysis for structural analysis and design combined with custom programming we are able to check and confirm if the engineers provided instructions actually fulfill the requirements of the EOR design drawings. Custom programming is also used to automate the creation of joist bridging assuring that the joist bridging will fit properly with the least amount of detailing cost, and also custom programming is used to create the engineering reports. Where ever custom programming can be used, costs will be reduced and accuracy increased. The strength of our entire business is the advantage which we have regarding advanced engineering.
We defintely provide an advantage on projects requiring custom design and where project designs could potentially change.
Ease of Fabrication
Our joist are designed with maximum repetition allowing for reduced fabrication costs. The benefit that we provide to the industry is quick delivery of joist to the jobsite and lower cost.
