Decoy Avenue - London

When starting this particular project we were given some engineers drawings and an opportunity to meet with the architects and view a carved wooden model of the intended design, which highlighted a difficult roof structure consisting of over 6 angles. With no detailed drawings of steel orientations or connections we had to a huge task on our hands to ensure that the steels were correctly fabricated and that the complex connections passed the load testing requirements.

The complexity of the roof structure required a large amount of design work and 3D modeling, this was the only way to truly be sure of successfully fabricating the members with the correct angles and connections. This process highlighted so many areas for discussion with the engineers and architects and was invaluable in finalising the design. Once this process was complete, accurate individual fabrication drawings could be taken directly from the model and given to our steel workers for production.
