We set industry standards in everything we do.

abs Structural strives to exceed the expectations and requirements of our customers. ALL facets of the detailing process are completed in-house to maintain strict controls and higher levels of accuracy. abs does not out-source any portion of any project.

Flawless fabrication and erection drawings.

Field data interpretation that’s right on the money.

abs Structural has made impressive strides in the computer translation of site survey data into the drawing environment. Our ability to provide details for reconstruction projects with a high degree of accuracy and speed is unmatched in the industry.

• Fabrication & erection drawings in greater speed and accuracy for structural steel projects
• Bridges, pedestrian walkways, ramps, etc.
• Unequalled custom interfacing 
• Slab screed elevations for bridge decks
• Building materials extractions for external calcs
• Custom software development that leads the pack.

To maintain our state-of-the-art leadership, abs Structural Corporation continually develops and evolves proprietary software to provide the greatest flexibility in meeting the unique needs of clients.  Each custom AutoCAD solution can be interfaced with an integrated detailing system in which all numeric data related to a project is stored in a central database and shared by an extensive array of custom detailing applications. 

abs has created several hundred custom AutoCAD applications. Some of these custom functions simply automate some of the more routine drawing preparation tasks such as dimensioning. Others perform complex calculations on data in an external database to perform functions such as drawing detailed sketches in a manner that is fabricator-specific. 

Go ahead, throw us some curves.

abs Structural Corporation developed the only software that accurately calculates cambered shapes. Our proprietary software allows our clients to dream up complex and artistic structures knowing that our engineering and detailing will take them painlessly from fabrication to erection.

NC Drawings for Client Equipment.

abs Structural can provide drawings suitable for direct input into your NC/CNC equipment’s post processor. These drawings are created based on data in the abs “as built” database. This eliminates the possibility of input error caused by the need to re-key the data. 

We can, for instance, add your shop camber and generate all web burning sketches for the project. Lines to cut and lines to scribe can be on different layers so you can mark the locations of stiffeners and connection plates as well as burn the shape of the web.
