ESD Solutions provided full detailing for a set of industrial platforms with staircases surrounding existing blast furnaces. Unlike standard steel structures, these platforms had to be installed against irregular, curved surfaces—demanding extreme precision and coordination.
The Challenge
The primary challenge stemmed from the non-uniform shape of the blast furnaces. Without point cloud data, we relied entirely on manual field measurements—capturing both horizontal and vertical radii with exceptional accuracy.
Key issues included:
-
No standard attachment points
-
Curved and angled surfaces
-
High risk of rework due to even minor dimensional errors
Every connection location had to be verified multiple times to avoid costly fabrication mistakes.
Our Expertise
To handle this complexity, our detailing team:
-
Conducted multiple rounds of manual measurement verification
-
Maintained constant coordination with the field team
-
Integrated flexible reference geometry into the 3D model
-
Adapted designs to fit exact site conditions without overcomplication
Even without advanced scanning tools, we delivered accurate, install-ready detailing through communication, adaptability, and attention to detail.
The Result
The project was completed without issues during field assembly, proving that a strong focus on detail and a structured approach can overcome even the most complex conditions. Given the client’s high expectations, the absence of any major revisions or adjustments was a significant achievement. In an industry where field modifications are often inevitable, delivering a project that fit seamlessly on-site—without requiring a single redesign—was something we were truly proud of. The client’s satisfaction was the ultimate validation of our hard work on industrial platforms with staircases, attention to detail, and expertise in steel detailing.
