At Nexont Engineering, every project we take on represents more than just a structure — it’s a journey of precision, collaboration, and problem-solving.
Our recent Multistorey Industrial Stair Tower Project stands as a strong example of how engineering expertise and adaptability can transform a challenging start into a successful outcome.
Project Overview
Steel detailing is the silent backbone of modern construction. It ensures that every beam, column, and connection aligns perfectly from design to fabrication.
This particular project tested the full depth of our detailing capabilities.
We were assigned the task of designing and detailing a multistorey industrial stair tower — but with one major challenge: there were no structural or architectural drawings available.
All we received was a basic stick diagram, with no section sizes, connection details, or stair specifications.
That meant our detailing and engineering teams had to develop the entire structure from the ground up, transforming a concept into a complete, buildable model.
Design and Coordination
Our first goal was to interpret the stick diagram and visualize a structure that would meet both functional and safety requirements.
A detailed 3D model of the stair tower was created and submitted for engineering validation, ensuring compliance with load-bearing and fabrication standards.
Once the design was validated, the project moved into the fabrication detailing phase, where every bolt, plate, and weld was defined with complete precision.
Close coordination between the detailing and engineering teams helped maintain accuracy across all drawing deliverables.
Addressing Environmental Conditions
Since the stair tower was intended for outdoor installation, environmental factors became a major consideration.
The design had to withstand varying wind loads, which could significantly impact the stability of an exposed structure.
To strengthen the tower and distribute external forces evenly, our team introduced additional vertical and horizontal bracings.
These reinforcements improved the tower’s ability to resist wind pressure while maintaining the design’s balance and durability.
Field Challenge: The Anchor Bolt Issue
As fabrication neared completion, a challenge arose during the Anchor Bolt (AB) field survey — one of the anchor bolts had been misplaced on-site.
Rather than letting this issue delay the project, our engineers analyzed the situation and proposed a reliable fix.
The misplaced bolt was replaced with post-installed anchors, ensuring both structural reliability and project continuity.
This quick and practical solution allowed the project to stay on schedule while maintaining safety and compliance.
Bringing the Design to Life
With the site issue resolved, fabrication and assembly continued seamlessly.
Each component aligned exactly as modeled, showcasing the precision of Nexont’s detailing process and the strength of its coordination between design, fabrication, and on-site teams.
This project served as a true example of how Nexont Engineering combines technical depth, proactive communication, and practical solutions to deliver consistent results under pressure.
Project Insights
This project reinforced several key values that define Nexont’s approach to engineering excellence:
Adaptability: The ability to design and detail from minimal data showcases the strength of our technical understanding.
Collaboration: Strong communication between detailing, engineering, and fabrication teams ensured clarity at every phase.
Innovation: Implementing post-installed anchors provided a fast and effective solution to a critical site issue.
Precision: Every connection and bracing was modeled with accuracy to meet both performance and safety requirements.
Conclusion
The Multistorey Industrial Stair Tower Project highlights how real-world challenges can drive innovation in steel detailing and design.
At Nexont Engineering, we believe that true engineering excellence lies in turning uncertainty into precision — and challenges into opportunities.
Every project we deliver reflects our commitment to safety, efficiency, and excellence in structural design.
