Connection Detailing

A disciplined, data-driven approach. We integrate engineer reactions, calculations, and fabricator preferences into AISC-compliant connection models.

Technical Excellence

At Lattice Steel, connection detailing is a controlled technical process. Each node is modeled only after validating design inputs and fabrication constraints, ensuring every bolt and weld is constructible.

Connection Model

Data Integration

We synthesize three critical data streams into one accurate model.

Engineer of Record

  • • Shear, Moment, Axial loads
  • • Design Codes & Criteria
  • • Material Grades

Connection Engineer

  • • Calculation Packages
  • • Plate & Weld Sizing
  • • Stiffeners & Doublers

Fabricator

  • • Bolt Supply Preferences
  • • CNC Constraints
  • • Erection Clearances

Model Application

Load Verification

Every modeled connection is cross-checked against EOR reactions to ensure 100% load transfer accuracy.

Clash Detection

Automated interference checking prevents field issues by identifying clashes with adjacent framing or MEP.

Technical RFIs

We proactively generate clear, visual RFIs when inconsistencies arise, solving problems before fabrication.
