Specialty Steel Detailing Projects

Specialty projects are some of the most interesting and challenging projects we work on. Included here is the award winning the Museum of Flight Bridge. The graceful Museum of Flight pedestrian bridge with it complicated pattern of steel tubes called on our best and brightest to translate its complex design requirements into shop drawings, 3-D models and BIM files. From bridges to amphitheaters to pavilions and even fish passages, MKE’s SDS/2 steel detailers produce timely, accurate (to at least 1/16”) shop drawings.
