Why Choose Us
With over 15 years in steel detailing, we turn complex designs into clear, usable drawings that fabricators rely on daily.
Reinforcing Steel (Rebar) Detailing & Shop Drawings
At Pittsburgh Industrial Steel Detailing Corp. (PGHSDS), we provide comprehensive, code-compliant reinforcing steel detailing services for concrete construction projects of any scale. We translate complex structural engineering designs into highly accurate, field-ready installation and fabrication data.
Our rebar detailing capabilities ensure structural integrity, minimize job site waste, and streamline the placement process for field crews.
Our Rebar Services Include:
Detailed Rebar Shop Drawings: Complete, easy-to-read placement plans showing exactly where every bar goes, including clear elevations, sections, and 3D detailing configurations for complex zones.
Accurate Bar Bending Schedules (BBS): Fully computerized, itemized bending schedules detailing bar marks, sizes, exact lengths, total weights, and bending shapes (cutting and bending lists) optimized to maximize material yield.
Congestion Resolution & Clash Detection: Proactive modeling to identify and resolve rebar congestion in heavily reinforced areas (like column-beam joints or heavy foundations) before materials hit the field.
As-Built Rebar Drawings: Finalized records incorporating any field-directed revisions for complete project closeout documentation.
Structures We Detail:
From industrial foundations to heavy commercial framing, we handle reinforcement detailing for:
Industrial equipment foundations and mats
Concrete retaining walls, tilt-up panels, and shear walls
Beams, columns, slabs-on-grade, and suspended slabs
Water treatment facilities, vaults, and civil infrastructure
The PGHSDS Advantage
We strictly adhere to ACI (American Concrete Institute) and CRSI (Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute) standards. By combining our deep industry expertise with advanced detailing software, we deliver precision drawings that accelerate shop production, eliminate field-fitting errors, and keep your concrete pours moving on schedule.

1. Structural Steel Detailing
The backbone of our business. We provide comprehensive detailing for structural steel framing across a wide range of industries.
Commercial Buildings: Multi-story office spaces, retail centers, and institutional facilities.
Industrial Infrastructure: Heavy-duty manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, and mill buildings.
Framing & Supports: Precision layouts for columns, beams, trusses, and complex bracing systems.
2. Miscellaneous Metals & Tricky Geometry
We thrive on the intricate details that keep a job site moving safely. Our miscellaneous metals detailing ensures perfect architectural integration and strict code compliance.
Stair Systems: Industrial monumental stairs, multi-story egress stairways, and spiral configurations.
Handrails & Guardrails: Custom pipe rails, structural steel handrails, and safety barriers.
Access Components: Industrial ladders, cages, catwalks, equipment platforms, and mezzanines.
3. Specialized Infrastructure & Rebar
Our capabilities extend beneath the surface and into specialized civil and infrastructure work.
Rebar Detailing: Highly accurate reinforcing steel layouts and bending schedules for robust concrete foundations and retaining structures.
Infrastructure Support: Detailing for bridge components, utility supports, and heavy civil construction elements.
The PGHSDS Project Advantage
Every project we take on, regardless of size or scope, benefits from our rigorous quality control process and tech-forward workflow:
Clash Detection First: We build a complete virtual replica of the project in 3D, catching and resolving spatial conflicts between structural steel, miscellaneous metals, and concrete before fabrication begins.
Fabrication-Ready Outputs: We deliver exact shop drawings, erection drawings, bills of materials, and seamless CNC files (NC1, DXF) to directly feed automated shop machinery.
Collaborative BIM: We easily integrate our models with design engineers, general contractors, and other trades to ensure smooth, on-time project execution.
