Steel Detailing

HTS operates Tekla, a world leading software package in structural steelwork 3D modelling. This enables HTS to produce general arrangement and fabrication detail drawings for both large and small steel structures quickly and accurately with the added benefit of full listing of components and materials.

Also HTS uses the latest version of the world leading AutoDesk AutoCAD. Bringing our old school drawing board techniques and expertise to the modern day CAD and BIM systems.

As well as complete buildings HTS has a wide experience in the design and drawing for architectural steelwork details including straight, complex and spiral stairways, balustrades, balconies and barriers.

From the initial scheme arrangement drawings to full steelwork fabrication packages including foundation and sheeting arrangements & details.

Examples of some projects undertaken include:

Hull Truck – New theatre steelwork
Office Extension to Heavens Walk – Yorkshire Bank
Earthtec – Esholt sludge incinerator plant support steel
Earthtec – Caulder Valley Sludge Incinerator plant support steel
Tranby School – Entrance steel
Byworth Boilers – Various boiler houses

Structural Engineering

Having operated for many years in the construction industry HTS has a wealth of in-depth experience and has been involved in a wide variety of steelwork construction projects including:

Factories, industrial and chemical buildings:

Warehouses, supermarkets
Modular Buildings
Hospitals
Schools
Floodgates
Garden centres and horticultural buildings
Architectural steelwork – stairs, balconies, and special features

HTS can provide design and analysis calculations for all structures , we use the latest versions of Quiksoft Quikframe and Trimble Tedds design software.

HTS can provide steel connection packages utilising Idea Statica connection software for all your steel connection needs simple, moment and complex connections for both hot and cold rolled steel.

Mechanical engineering

HTS has been involved on a diversity of Mechanical projects from concept through feasibility to design and detail draughting, providing assistance on project management, construction and commissioning.

Past projects have included:

Development of mobile concrete batching plants
Boiler and pressure vessels
Specialist heat/energy recovery equipment
Vacuum chambers including magnetrons and transfer conveyors
Offshore lifeboat systems support structures
Lifting beams, frames and tackle
Pillar/Jib hoists
Specialist lifting equipment

The Design Team has a wide range of attributes and disciplines that cover all aspects of engineering design principles.

HTS have an excellent expertise, consultancy contact network thereby enabling the company to cover areas such as:

Acoustics
Thermodynamics

Civil engineering

In house HTS uses the Solidworks 3D software for design and production of manufacturing drawings

Survey

As well as the comprehensive office-based services HTS are able to carry out measured site surveys to compliment the range of work carried out. Surveys are generally carried out using laser measure, tape measure or optical instrument. GPS and Total station topographical surveys can be arranged through associated companies.

Survey works include:
