Project overview

ZSJH participated in a chemical equipment platform project in Thailand. Our involvement covered the full scope from drawing design and detailing to steel fabrication and project dispatch. The project combines equipment support platforms with access and maintenance spaces and associated pipe rack steelwork.

Project parameters

Turning equipment layouts into steel details

An industrial platform must accommodate more than its primary beams and columns. Platform elevations, equipment interfaces, access routes and pipe rack connections all influence the steel layout. ZSJH used Tekla detailing to develop the structural components and their relationships, translating the project drawings into information usable by the fabrication team.

Connection details that guide fabrication

Beam end plates, stiffeners and column base plates are small compared with the overall structure, yet they determine how members meet. The supplied workshop photographs show these details on fabricated steelwork, including bolt holes and welded reinforcement plates. Clear detailing gives the workshop a basis for cutting, drilling and assembly, and helps the project team keep component geometry consistent with the drawings.

From drawings to project dispatch

ZSJH’s participation continued beyond detailing into fabrication and dispatch. The project photographs record uncoated fabricated members, coated components and steelwork prepared for shipment. Bringing these stages into one coordinated scope helps connect drawing information with physical components and subsequent delivery arrangements. The case demonstrates design-to-manufacturing support for overseas industrial steelwork; it does not claim completion of site installation or plant commissioning.
