Structural Steel Detailing Services in Saudi Arabia

Fabrication-ready structural steel detailing for industrial structures, pipe racks, platforms, and equipment supports across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.

SLETEC Engineering provides structural steel detailing services for industrial plants, refineries, petrochemical facilities, and fabrication yards across Saudi Arabia. Our structural engineers and detailers produce comprehensive drawing packages for pipe racks, equipment support structures, access platforms, mezzanine floors, stairways, handrails, and miscellaneous steel assemblies — all to fabrication-ready standard with complete connection details and material specifications.

Our structural detailing scope encompasses general arrangement drawings, individual member detail drawings, welded and bolted connection details, anchor bolt plans, and fabrication-level shop drawings. Each structural drawing package is coordinated with piping design loads, equipment dead and live loads, and civil/foundation interface requirements, ensuring a consistent and clash-free set of construction documents.

For brownfield and modification projects, SLETEC reviews as-built structural drawings and field conditions to produce modification details that account for existing member sizes, connection capacities, and load path changes. We are familiar with working within the document control systems and drawing approval workflows of major EPC contractors and owner operators operating in Saudi Arabia and Jubail Industrial City.

Engineering documentation prepared with reference to API, ASME, AISC, AWS, ISO, Saudi Aramco, SABIC and client project specifications where applicable.
