Where Connection Requirements Become Engineered Steel Solutions

A connection design only matters once it leaves the page. SSD starts with the structural and code requirements for a project, then works toward a connection that a fabricator can build and an erector can install without running into problems on site.
Our engineers work closely with contractors, fabricators, and steel erectors throughout a project, not just during the design phase. That close involvement shapes how we approach each connection package, so it holds up once it reaches the shop and the field.
Operating from Apple Valley, MN, SSD supports teams throughout every stage of project development, from early design questions through final release. Call (952) 800-3413 to discuss your connection design requirements, delegated engineering needs, and upcoming steel project opportunities.
