Structural Steel Detailing
At ACES, Inc. our team of highly skilled engineers brings years of hands-on experience and deep industry expertise to every project. We go beyond just producing drawings — we understand the real-world challenges of fabrication and erection, and proactively address potential issues before they arise.
Our detailing process is driven by precision, practicality, and performance. Each drawing is created with the fabricator’s perspective in mind, ensuring that it is clear, comprehensive, and easy to execute on the shop floor. From complex industrial structures to intricate architectural steelwork, we ensure that every connection, bolt, and weld is detailed to perfection.
By integrating cutting-edge tools like Tekla Structures, SDS2, and Revit, we deliver error-free, fabrication-ready drawings that save time, reduce rework, and enhance overall project efficiency.
Miscellaneous Steel Detailing
Miscellaneous steel detailing requires a high level of technical expertise, attention to detail, and sound engineering judgment—especially during the modelling phase. At ACES, Inc. our experienced team handles every project with precision and care, making informed decisions that ensure accuracy and constructability.
From stairs, handrails, and ladders to platforms, gratings, and custom steel components, we approach each element with the same dedication to quality and consistency. Our detailers leverage advanced modelling tools and proven workflows to deliver clear, fabrication-ready drawings that help fabricators and erectors complete their work efficiently and with confidence.
Duct / Plate Work Detailing
At ACES, Inc. our skilled team brings extensive experience in plate work and duct detailing, covering a wide range of complex geometries and configurations. We have successfully executed numerous projects involving large round and rectangular ducts, transitions, concentric and eccentric cones, chutes, hoppers, and other custom plate structures.
Our detailing process focuses on accuracy, manufacturability, and ease of assembly. We ensure that every detail—from material thickness to joint configuration—is captured precisely to meet fabrication standards. In addition, we provide unfolded DXF files for all components, including transition plates and eccentric cones, enabling seamless cutting and fabrication directly from the model.
By combining technical expertise with advanced 3D modelling tools, ACES, Inc. ensures that every duct and plate work project is delivered with precision, efficiency, and reliability.
Estimation and Material Take-Off
At ACES, Inc. we follow a streamlined and precise estimation process designed to support accurate project planning and cost management. Our approach involves creating 3D models, generating material reports, performing complexity analyses, and calculating man-hour consumption to provide a clear picture of project scope and resource requirements.
Using advanced detailing and modelling tools, we ensure that every quantity and specification is captured with accuracy — minimizing waste and optimizing material usage. Based on client requirements, we also provide detailed Material Take-Off (MTO) reports, giving fabricators and contractors the essential data they need for procurement and scheduling.
Our efficient and data-driven process helps clients make informed decisions early in the project, saving both time and cost during execution.
Connection Design
we provide comprehensive connection design services through our trusted engineering partners in the USA and Canada. By integrating both design and detailing under one roof, we streamline coordination and significantly improve project schedules while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and safety.
Our connection design services cover a wide range of structural configurations, ensuring that every joint and connection meets engineering requirements, fabrication feasibility, and industry codes.
Additionally, we can provide Professional Engineer (PE) stamping when required by contract, offering clients a complete, code-compliant package ready for approval and fabrication.
Through this collaborative and integrated approach, ACES, Inc. delivers connection design solutions that are efficient, compliant, and constructible—reducing turnaround time and enhancing overall project quality.
Research and Development
We recognize that research and development (R&D) is the driving force behind innovation and long-term growth. In today’s competitive environment, innovation is not just an advantage — it’s a necessity.
Our dedicated R&D team continually explores new methods and technologies to enhance automation, accuracy, and efficiency across our detailing and design processes. By integrating advanced tools, optimizing workflows, and developing intelligent automation solutions, we aim to deliver faster, more precise, and cost-effective outcomes for our clients.
Through continuous innovation, ACES, Inc. remains at the forefront of the structural steel industry, ensuring that every project benefits from the latest advancements in engineering technology and digital transformation.
