Structural Steel Fabrication Structural Steel Fabrication is a comprehensive, multi-step process that transforms raw steel materials into pre-engineered components used in building and construction. These components are precisely crafted to fit into structural frameworks like beams, columns, trusses, and platforms. Page 2
Page 3 01 Ideation and Blueprint The process begins with an ideation phase defining whether standard or bespoke steel components are needed. Engineers then produce detailed CAD blueprints, ensuring they align with project requirements, applicable codes, and client goals
Shop Drawing Conversion Blueprints are converted into shop drawings fabricator-ready documents that include scheduling, material details, and budget breakdowns. These drawings are essential to streamline fabrication and ensure accuracy. 02 Page 4
Page 5 03 Material Cutting and Drilling With the shop drawings approved, steel components are cut to specification using CNC machines. Drilling and marking follow, helping maintain traceability and facilitating smooth assembly.
Bending and Machining Forming and machining adjust the steel parts to the exact shapes required by the project. Curves, holes, and slots are formed with precision tools, enabling seamless later assembly. 04 Page 6
Page 7 05 Assembly and Welding Once components are prepared, they’re assembled and welded into substructures or full assemblies. Tesla CAD follows strict welding protocols to ensure structural integrity and code compliance.
Component Finishing After welding, the steel is cleaned and treated. Protective finishes are applied to enhance durability and resist corrosion, matching environmental and design requirements. 06 Page 8
