We provide advanced structural connection design and detailing services for industrial, crane, offshore, and heavy-duty structures where connections are often fatigue-critical, dynamically loaded, and installation-sensitive. Our work ensures safe, reliable load transfer through bolted, welded, pinned, anchor, and fast-setup mechanical connections, aligned with recognized international design standards.
Our approach integrates connection-level force analysis, fatigue assessment, and constructability-driven detailing to ensure connections perform reliably under cyclic loading, impact, vibration, wind, wave, and operational effects. We evaluate both ultimate strength and serviceability behavior, ensuring compatibility with the global structural system and defined operating envelopes.
Standards & Code Alignment
Connection designs are developed in accordance with applicable standards, including:
- AISC – Steel connections, bolts, block shear, prying action, slip-critical joints
- ACI – Anchors, embed plates, concrete breakout, pull-out, and shear behavior
- AWS – Weld sizing, detailing, inspection categories, and fatigue provisions
- ISO – Mechanical fasteners, pinned joints, fatigue classifications
- API (including API 2C / API RP 2A) – Offshore, crane, and fatigue-critical connection requirements
- Design assumptions, load combinations, and acceptance criteria are aligned with the governing standard and project-specific requirements.
Technical Design Focus
Our connection design scope addresses:
- Bolted connections
- Welded connections
- Pinned and hinged connections
- Anchor and embed connections
- Fast-setup and modular connections
- Fatigue & dynamic behavior
