About deepen the design of steel structure

1.Optimize engineering performance and safety
2.Reduce construction costs and waste of resources
3.Improve construction efficiency and quality

Application process of BIM deepening design in steel structure building

Accurate modelling: Based on the design institute drawings, Revit, Tekla Structures and other software are used to build a 3D solid model of the steel structure, 

integrating full-dimensional data such as component dimensions, node connections, material properties, etc., so as to achieve ‘what you see is what you get’ design expression.

Multi-professional collaboration: Integrate the steel structure model with the professional models of civil construction, mechanical and electrical, curtain wall, etc., 

and solve the problems of pipeline conflict and process intersection in advance through collision detection.

 Deeper design and optimised validation

Node refinement design: Mechanical simulation for complex nodes (e.g. beam-column connection, weld arrangement) to optimise the form of construction, 

avoiding hidden dangers such as laminar tearing and weld overlap in thick plates.

Calculation of process and working conditions: Calculate the lifting scheme and temporary support force through MIDAS and other software to ensure construction safety.

Core advantages brought by BIM deepening design

1. Enhance design quality and efficiency

Visualisation and collaboration: 3D model visually shows complex spatial relationships, eliminates understanding bias of 2D drawings, and accelerates design decisions.

Automated error correction: real-time collision detection solves more than 70% of professional conflicts and reduces on-site rework.

2. Optimize construction safety and economy

Pre-assembly verification: virtual pre-assembly replaces physical trial assembly, saving up to 30% of labour and machinery costs.

Accurate cost control: the model automatically counts steel usage and project volume, supporting refined budget management.

3. Enabling full life cycle management

Data continuity: The as-built model integrates component information (e.g., material specifications, maintenance records) to provide a data base for later operation and maintenance.

Sustainability analysis: Simulate energy consumption and carbon emissions to assist in the selection of green building materials and the design of recycling programmes.

Which company need to do deepen design of steel structure?

Professional Steel Structure Company

Deepening Design Service Organization

Fabricators

Steel structure plants are equipped with a deepening team, directly connected to the conversion of drawings and the optimization of production processes.

Steel structure deepening design is a key link between design and construction, and its value is reflected in the multi-dimensional improvement of quality, cost and efficiency. With the popularization of BIM technology and intelligent manufacturing, deepening design has been upgraded from an auxiliary tool to the core ability of engineering management. High-complexity projects in the fields of architecture, industry and transportation all rely on professional deepening teams, and their necessity will be further highlighted in green building and intelligent construction in the future.
