Are you in search of a mechanical engineering design firm that can bring your steel fabrication projects to life? Look no further than Ransford Engineering, a small yet highly skilled firm specializing in providing comprehensive solutions for complex metal fabrications. In this blog post, we’ll delve into a recent project completed by Ransford Engineering, where their expertise in shop drawings, steel fabrication design, and spiral staircase design truly shone.

Mastering the Art of Steel Fabrication Design

Ransford Engineering has built a solid reputation for delivering exceptional engineering solutions, and their recent collaboration with Bernie’s Welding and Custom Fabrication on a residential patio spiral staircase is a testament to their expertise. While Bernie’s Welding possesses exceptional metal fabrication skills, they lacked the ability to create detailed shop drawings and 3D models. That’s where Ransford Engineering stepped in, bridging the gap between concept and execution.

Addressing the Challenges: Precision in Design

Designing a spiral staircase requires meticulous attention to detail, as it involves complex shapes and helical geometry. Ransford Engineering thrives on such challenges, and they eagerly took on the task of creating a design that would seamlessly integrate with the residential patio’s aesthetics and functionality. With a few simple inputs provided by Bernie’s Welding, including stair tread height, overall staircase height, and tread width, Ransford Engineering set out to deliver a compelling design.

Shop Drawings: The Blueprint for Success

Shop drawings serve as the foundation for any fabrication project, providing clear guidelines for construction and ensuring accuracy during the manufacturing process. Ransford Engineering’s expertise in creating detailed welding drawings for fabrication played a pivotal role in the success of the spiral staircase project. By translating the design into comprehensive shop drawings, Ransford Engineering enabled Bernie’s Welding to bring the vision to life without any guesswork.

3D Modeling: Visualizing Excellence

In addition to shop drawings, Ransford Engineering leveraged their advanced 3D modeling and drafting capabilities to enhance the design process further. By creating a detailed 3D model of the spiral staircase, they offered Bernie’s Welding a realistic visualization of the final product. This not only allowed for a better understanding of the design but also enabled early identification of any potential issues, streamlining the fabrication process.
