Helmsley Place-Steel Connections Design and Detailing

Beta Scope

Steel to steel connection design
Steel to concrete connection design
The preparation of detailed fabrication drawings

Background

Beta Design Consultants were appointed by the Client Lomas Steel Structures to provide the steel connection design and detailed fabrication drawings for a two-storey steel structure on top of a Reinforced concrete building.

Beta Solution

Beta Design Consultants used Idea Statica for steel to steel connections design. These analyses allowed achieving maximum standardisation possible to reduce the cost of steel fabrication and time of installation. Tekla Structures was used to create a full 3D model for the top two-storey. This allowed us to capture the exact geometry of the steel and concrete structure. Tekla Structures was also later used to produce detailed fabrication drawings for top two-storey steel structures.

Beta Design Consultants engineers worked closely with Lomas Steel Structures to ensure all steel was fabricated for ease of installation. Beta worked with the project Structural Engineers, SDS, to ensure connections were detailed according to the design vision.
