Steel Platforms & Sheds Engineering Services
Delta Precision Group provides managed engineering and drafting teams for steel platforms, access structures, and pre-fabricated sheds, built to AISC design standards and your project’s actual load conditions, for firms that need capacity without adding permanent staff.
01 / WHEN STEEL CAPACITY IS TIGHT
Built for fabricators and firms whose steel work outpaces their bench.
Fabrication and construction firms with a drafting backlog
Where a platform or shed project has outgrown current drafting bandwidth — often the project manager waiting on a connection detail package before fabrication can start.
Engineering firms running several industrial structure projects at once
With a limited in-house steel design team — often the principal who’s landed more structural steel work than your current team can carry.
If either of those is your situation, tell us what’s backed up.
02 / THE ENGINEERING BOTTLENECK
Why fabricators and engineering firms bring in outside structural engineering capacity.
A steel platform or shed looks straightforward until the actual load path is worked out: wind and seismic loading, connection design at every moment frame, and base plate sizing that has to hold up under real site conditions, not just a generic assumption. Getting a connection design wrong doesn’t surface as a rounding error, it surfaces as a fabrication delay or a failed field weld.
Hiring to cover a structural steel backlog is slow, and a generalist offshore drafting shop can trace a platform layout without necessarily verifying that every bolted or welded connection actually carries its load. Steel design is a judgment discipline built on AISC provisions, not a pure drafting exercise.
We build our teams around people who understand structural steel design specifically, not a general CAD pool asked to draft whatever comes through.
03 / THE ENGINEERING WORK
Structural engineering for steel platforms, sheds, and supporting structures.
Deliverable 01
Platform and access structure design
Structural design and drafting for elevated platforms, mezzanines, and access structures, sized to your actual load conditions and AISC provisions.
Deliverable 02
Pre-fabricated shed and industrial structure design
Design and drafting for steel sheds and light industrial structures, including framing layout and connection details.
Deliverable 03
Connection and base plate design
Moment and shear connection design, base plate sizing, and anchor bolt layout, checked against the governing load combinations.
Who this is for: fabrication shops and engineering firms with a platform or shed project overflowing current capacity, and firms managing multiple industrial structure projects at once.
04 / FROM REQUIREMENTS TO DESIGN
How we turn project requirements into engineered steel designs and detailed documentation.
-
We confirm loads and your connection standards first. We start by confirming the governing load conditions, wind, seismic, and any equipment or operational loads specific to your site, along with your preferred connection standards and fabrication practices.
-
We staff structural steel design specifically. From there we build a team matched to structural steel design specifically.
-
Design intent is agreed with your engineer of record. We align with your engineer of record on design intent before drafting begins.
-
Revisions move at your fabrication schedule. We turn revisions around against your fabrication schedule rather than a generic production queue.
05 / STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
The analysis, detailing, and documentation capabilities behind our steel work.
Capabilities our team is equipped to deliver
- Structural steel design for platforms, mezzanines, and access structures, to AISC provisions
- Pre-fabricated shed and light industrial structure design
- Moment and shear connection design, base plate sizing, and anchor bolt layout
- Wind and seismic load analysis for steel structures
Scope, governing code, and load conditions are confirmed with you before design work begins.
06 / THE DELTA PRECISION GROUP DIFFERENCE
Engineering built around structural requirements, design standards, and project deadlines.
We design connections and base plates to actually carry their load, not just to look correct in a drawing.
That is the difference between a structure that clears fabrication review the first time and one that comes back with a rejected weld detail.
We’re built for fabricators and firms with recurring structural steel work.
Though a single platform or shed project is a reasonable way to start.
07 / FIND THE RIGHT FIT
Choose the engineering support model that fits your steel project.
Dedicated production capacity
An ongoing team sized to your structural steel project pipeline.
Project capacity
A single platform, shed, or structure package with a defined scope and deadline.
Surge and overflow support
Additional design or drafting capacity during a fabrication deadline or a staffing gap.
Not sure which fits? Tell us your project scope and we’ll recommend the right approach.
08 / FAQ
Frequently asked questions about steel platform and shed engineering.
Will the connections actually hold up under real load, or will we spend more fixing it than we saved?
We size connections and base plates against your actual load combinations, not a generic assumption, so fabrication issues get caught during design, not on the shop floor.
Have you actually done structural steel design, or is this generalist drafting?
Our teams are built around structural steel specifically, working to AISC provisions, not a general CAD pool applied to whatever comes in.
Will back-and-forth slow the project down instead of speeding it up?
We confirm load conditions and connection standards upfront and align with your engineer of record before drafting starts, which is what keeps the schedule moving.
How do you handle sensitive drawings and project data?
Data handling is confirmed with you at the start of every engagement, matched to your firm’s and client’s expectations.
Can we start with one project before anything ongoing?
Yes, a single platform or shed project is a common and reasonable starting point.
