Solution
Engineering Design Services utilized advanced 3D modeling and detailing tools to develop fabrication-ready shop drawings and digital models for the project’s structural steel systems. The engineering team translated design intent into detailed fabrication documentation while coordinating constructability considerations and installation requirements.
Throughout the project, EDS collaborated with project stakeholders during review meetings to address comments, refine deliverables, and maintain alignment between engineering, fabrication, and installation teams. Following fabrication, EDS performed a site review to verify completed work and support successful project execution.
