Article Outline:

Introduction: To present the challenges faced by large-scale structural steel projects (e.g. bridges, power stations, stadiums, high-rise buildings): oversized components, complex nodes, on-site work, and stringent standards.

Analysis of the unique challenges of riveting large steel structures:

Size and weight present lifting and positioning challenges.

Deformation and residual stress control in thick plate welding.

Environmental (wind, rain, height) impacts of on-site construction.

Comply with mandatory requirements of building industry standards (e.g. AWS D1.1).

Our four-part series of customised solutions:

Stage 1: Joint simulation of design and process: Simulation of welding distortion using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimise the welding sequence and process.

Stage 2: Workshop prefabrication and modularisation: Precision welding of sub-units is completed in a controlled workshop environment where possible, reducing the amount of work on site.

Stage 3: Hybrid Joining Techniques with High Strength Bolts and Welding: Explain when to use welding and when to use high strength bolts and the advantages of combining the two.

Stage 4: On-site Welding Management and Quality Control: A team of licensed welders is dispatched with mobile equipment to implement a strict on-site QA/QC programme.

Successful Case Study (illustrated): A detailed description of a specific bridge or construction project, describing the problems encountered and how our solution worked.

Safety and Project Management: Emphasis is placed on our management systems for site safety and project scheduling.

Conclusion: Co-operation with experienced and professional partners is the key to the success of large-scale steel construction projects.
