Valley Structures provides structural steel detailing and modelling services for fabricators, contractors, engineers and other construction professionals.

From tender-stage modelling through to fabrication and installation, we can provide as much or as little support as your project requires.

With more than 50 years of combined industry experience and decades of Tekla Structures experience, we understand the practical requirements behind the drawings—not just the software used to produce them.

3D Steel Detailing

We provide detailed 3D structural steel modelling using Tekla Structures, producing accurate and practical models that can progress through to fabrication and installation.

Our experience allows us to identify potential issues during the detailing process and coordinate the steelwork with other disciplines before problems reach fabrication or site.

• 3D Tekla Structures modelling
• General arrangement drawings
• 3D lotting drawings
• Fabrication drawings
• Single-part drawings
• Erection/site drawings
• CAM / NC / FabStation / PowerFab files
• Fabrication and procurement reports

Estimating & Tender Modelling

Accurate information at tender stage can make a significant difference to the quality of a steelwork bid.

We can produce 3D tender models to help estimators understand the proposed structure, calculate quantities and identify potential issues before a project reaches the detailing stage.

A detailed 3D model can also provide a clear visual representation of your proposal when presenting a bid to a client.

• Steel quantities
• Tender pricing
• Preliminary modelling
• Bid presentations
• Early identification of design/detailing issues

Technical Coordination

Structural steel doesn't exist in isolation. It needs to work alongside architecture, concrete, civils, M&E, cladding and other elements of the building.

Our experience in structural steel allows us to contribute to technical coordination and identify issues that could otherwise cause delays or costly changes later in the project.

• Architectural coordination
• Structural engineering coordination
• Civils
• M&E services
• Cladding
• RFIs
• Coordination meetings
• Design/detailing issue resolution

Drawings, Reports & Fabrication Information

We can produce the drawings and information required to support fabrication, procurement and installation, working to your existing standards or helping develop suitable templates and documentation.

• General arrangement drawings
• Fabrication drawings
• Single-part drawings
• Lotting drawings
• Site sketches
• Templates
• Procurement reports
• Fabrication reports
• CAM / NC / FabStation / PowerFab files

Tekla Model Sharing & Collaborative Working

We use Tekla Model Sharing to work efficiently with clients and the wider project team including on site services.

Whether we're supporting an existing drawing office or providing the complete detailing service, we can integrate into your workflow and work to your established standards and requirements.
