Connection Design
Moment and shear connections engineered and detailed to AISC. Calculations stamped, not assumed — built to survive review.
Structural Steel Detailing
DATA CENTER PROGRAMS
Your awards are ahead of your drawing room.
The data center pipeline is moving faster than detailing capacity can keep up. Steel Works gives mid-size fabricators expert overflow detailing for the complex packages — connection design, fabrication-ready models, and structural analysis — every sheet signed off by a senior structural engineer.

The squeeze
The largest detailing shops are booked solid through 2026. U.S. fabrication capacity, 2026
Data center awards are landing on mid-size fabricators in Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Virginia faster than drawing rooms can absorb them.
Hiring detailers takes months. Standing up an offshore team takes longer — and rarely handles the connection-heavy, mission-critical work these facilities demand.
That backlog is where schedules slip and penalties start. We close it.
What we detail
The packages that decide your schedule.
A.0202 / 03
Fabrication-Ready Models
3D models built to LOD 400 — GA and shop drawings, NC files, and bills of material your shop floor can run without a second pass.
A.0303 / 03
Structural Analysis
Verification, FEA, and member design for equipment platforms, mezzanines, and support structures — the engineering behind the detail.
Mission-critical structures
Detailing for what data centers actually need.
Connection-heavy, code-driven, and unforgiving on tolerance. We detail the structures that carry the building and the equipment inside it.
- B1 Moment frames & braced cores
- B2 Equipment platforms & mechanical skids
- B3 Mezzanines, catwalks & access steel
- B4 Generator & switchgear yards
- B5 Rack & cable-tray support structures
The packages offshore commodity shops handle poorly. That's our lane.
Positioning
Not the cheapest option. The most certain.
C.01
Senior-engineer QA
Every package runs through a three-checkpoint review and is signed off by a senior structural engineer before it reaches your shop.
C.02
A direct line to the engineer
You talk to the engineer doing the work — not a coordinator relaying messages. Decisions in hours, not days.
C.03
Complex-package focus
We don't chase commodity tonnage. We take the connection design, the FEA, and the industrial packages others can't staff.
Quality control
Three checkpoints. One signature.
QC-1
Model & geometry
Model integrity, grid alignment, and member sizing checked against the design intent before anything advances.
QC-2
Connections & code
Every connection verified to AISC. Clashes resolved and constructability confirmed before drawings are produced.
QC-3
Senior sign-off
A senior structural engineer reviews and stamps the full package. Nothing ships unreviewed.
