Frequently Asked Questions
At Southern Steel Engineers, we understand that every project is unique and often raises important questions. Our FAQ section provides clear and concise answers to common inquiries regarding our services, project processes, industries we serve, and how we ensure efficiency in delivering structural steel engineering solutions.
1. Do you collaborate with fabricators and erectors?
Yes, we coordinate with fabricators and erectors. We want to make sure that we design efficient connections for the shop and easily constructible connections for the erector in the field. Collaboration early in the process is critical to ensure all parties are on the same page.
2. Do you have the capacity to handle large-scale projects?
Yes, Southern Steel Engineers has the expertise, resources, and technical capabilities to manage large-scale structural steel projects. Our team is equipped to handle high-volume connection designs, complex delegated design tasks, and extensive shop drawing reviews for projects of any size. Our team has successfully completed design on several projects in excess of 10,000 Tons with the largest being approximately 40,000 Tons.
3. How do you handle project scheduling and deadlines?
Southern Steel Engineers takes a proactive approach to project management. We use advanced scheduling tools and regular progress updates to ensure we meet deadlines.
We prioritize design for early sequences as well as long lead-time items. Our proactive approach starts at the project kickoff, where we identify RFI’s and key coordination issues. From there we work to provide designs as quickly as possible in priority sequences to get the steel detailer moving and then ultimately steel into the shop and then field.
