Project Location: Ocean, New Jersey, USA
Services Provided: Structural & Misc. Steel detailing
Project Duration: 560hrs and 4 business weeks
Client Category: Steel Fabricators
Software Used: Tekla Structures

About the Project:
Shore car club is a 40,000 square foot members club, event space and private car house for collectors and enthusiasts. We supported the structural steel detailing of different structures of the building, such as the foundation, the second floor level, the roof, and various interior components.
Skills & Expertise Involved:
Experience with generating accurate and comprehensive fabrication and erection drawings.
Knowledge of industry standards and AISC code.
Ability to generate and manage project documentation, including RFIs, transmittals, and drawing registers.
Proficiency in creating custom reports and templates in Tekla Structures.
Experience in providing technical support and training to junior detailers and other team members.
Our scope of work
Advenser detailed and drafted the structural steel framing of the following:
- The foundation
- The second floor level
- The roof
- Partial roof, high roof and high roof over stair well
- Egress stair and handrails, lobby stair and handrails, exterior stair and handrails, and CMU wall clips
Challenge
The main challenge we faced was on the structure’s roof framing, where beams sloped in two directions, making it difficult to provide connections between the members. Additionally, some beams were of smaller depth, preventing the use of a minimum two-bolt connection. Rectifying this problem was, therefore, tricky.
Solution
To solve this problem, we switched to angle support connections, which were welded to WT sections between the beam flanges.
Project Models
Our Value Addition
As the beams were sloped in two directions and of varying depths, providing connections between them in the fabrications and drawings was not a straightforward task. However, because of the expertise of our engineers and modelers, we were able to think out of the box and solve the problem by switching to angle supports and wielding them to the WT sections between beam flanges. This ensured that the client could focus on core business and construction processes while we took care of complex problems.
