📍 Project Overview
At Paddick Engineering, we continue to deliver high-performance structural solutions that balance durability with practical constructability. This featured project showcases a steel floor framing system designed using flush end plate bolted connections and double angle shear plate connections, optimised to enhance strength, modularity, and ease of installation across a commercial floor span.
🧩 Connection Detailing: Designed for Performance
Detailing precision was a key priority in this system. The connection types used provide both strength and constructability without compromising on efficiency.
🔧 Flush End Plate Bolted Connection
🔧 Double Angle Shear Plate Connection
Comprehensive detailing was prepared, including:
✅ 3D isometric modeling for visual clarity
✅ Dimensional drawings (front, top, and side views)
✅ Complete bolt layouts and plate geometry for fabrication and on-site guidance
🧱 Floor Framing Layout: Built to Carry & Coordinate
The floor layout consists of a structural steel grid that efficiently distributes loads while allowing for coordinated service integration. The modular system was developed with construction speed and flexibility in mind.
Key Features:
Grid arrangement of primary and secondary beams
Modular layout compatible with slab panel systems
Coordination-ready for MEP installations
Developed using BIM tools to ensure dimensional accuracy and fabrication precision
💡 Why This Matters
Our approach supports:
✅ Efficient load transfer in both directions
✅ Rapid and repeatable on-site assembly
✅ Code-compliant design to Eurocode standards
✅ Reduced construction timelines and coordination overhead
At Paddick Engineering, we’re passionate about turning detailed design into buildable reality. From robust structural layouts to fully integrated BIM models, we deliver engineering that performs and builds better.
