About Crystal Steel Philippines

With 75 state of the art 3-D modeling stations and 80 detailers, we are one of the largest steel detailing firms in the industry.

No fabricator can assure you a quality job without controlling the shop drawing process. To ensure that we have quality drawings when we need them, Crystal Steel established a wholly owned detailing company, Crystal Steel Philippines, Inc.

With 75 state of the art 3-D modeling stations and 80 detailers, we are one of the largest steel detailing firms in the industry. Our engineering group can produce shop drawings quickly and accurately whether your job is 10 tons or 2,000 tons. Crystal Steel’s drawing room focuses on miscellaneous metals and structural steel, but can also detail joist & deck.

Crystal Steel brings together the best people, processes and technology to get our details done right.

• All of our detailers have degrees as engineers or architects
  
• Our three drawing room supervisors have a combined 120 years experience in construction management, engineering and steel detailing
  
• We have a licensed professional engineer on site as well as consulting engineers for more extensive design reviews and calculations
  
• We can contribute significantly to the constructability of design/build and fastrack projects
  

• As a requirement of being an AISC Certified fabricator, we have extensive drawing control logging and tracking of all contract, shop and field drawings throughout the project lifecycle
  
• NISD, AISC & AWS procedures are followed in our detailing to insure conformance with the codes and standards that guide our industry
  
• Checking details begins at the model level and progresses all the way through the detailing process
  

• We have IntelliCAD, StruCAD, X-Steel, DESCON, and AutoCAD-LT seats on site, as well as trained operators for each
  
• 3D detailing integrated with our shop fabrication systems via CNC and bar codes
  
• Can import many engineering formats helping to accelerate turnaround time from design change to revised steel on the job
  
• We can export multiple formats to assist third parties with design or fabrication
  
• A 3D graphical model which allows you to view the structure from all angles, measure spacing and “walk” through the steel model, is provided to clients on request. This tool has been used to coordinate mechanicals, help onsite superintendents envision/manage the job, discuss design suggestions with engineers of record and help owners understand progress (or roadblocks)
  

• Crystal Steel can literally produce shop drawings overnight
  
• Control over our own detailing allows us to meet unbelievable schedules. On several prior jobs, we have been able to deliver steel to the jobsite within 1 week of award and commencement of detailing
  
• Given the technological integration with our fabrication shops and the variety of automated equipment onsite, Crystal Steel can deliver properly fabricated steel to your jobsite quickly and keep your critical path on schedule
