Featured Projects

Extensive Steel Detailing, including Cylindrical Structures: Zug Island Boiler

Using SDS2 software, PMI modelers created a 3D model of an existing cylindrical structure and its components based on measurements provided by the customers on-site engineer. The model was used to ensure accurate final fabrication details, and precision shop drawings were created for construction. With the detailed models and drafts, the client upgraded their equipment by adding steel beams and columns, stairs and handrails, ladders and safety ladder cages, allowances for pipes, platforms, and specified fasteners based on on-site engineers' requirements...

University of Michigan Steel Detailing Construction Rendering

In the University of Michigan’s efforts to remove outdated infrastructure, a 3-story boiler was removed from one of the campus buildings. This left a large hole in the structure that needed to be filled to create walkable floors for storage and new energy options. To create new floors, new concrete and steel beams would need to be added to the structure. PMI was commissioned to provide steel detailing drawings of the space to construction engineers. PMI facilitated the technical steel detailing drawings utilizing existing blueprints, point cloud technology acquired by FARO Laser Scanners, Faro WebShare, and SDS2…
