MAH Steel - Services

Steel Connection Design

At MAH Steel, we are steel fabricators designing and manufacturing steel connections from our Gravesend steel factory using advanced CNC machinery. With a 98% on-time delivery rate, you can rely on us to keep your project moving.

What we design

Our qualified engineers design a full range of connections, including cranked beams, splice connections, haunches, fin plates, and end plates. All work is carried out to BS 5950 standards, ensuring strength, accuracy, and compliance.

Practical, buildable solutions

We don’t just design for theory – we design for site. Our engineers specify the right connection types, bolt grades, weld sizes, and geometry to suit real loads and installation conditions, keeping things efficient and straightforward on site.

Faster, simpler process

Because we handle both design and fabrication, there’s no need to coordinate with multiple parties. Send us your drawings and load information, and we take care of the rest – saving time, reducing costs, and avoiding over-engineered details.

Built to perform

Using the latest software, we assess stress, deflection, and long-term durability to ensure every connection performs reliably for the life of the structure.


Steel Connection Design Questions & Answers

This section covers key information about our steel connection design services, including how connection details are engineered, analysed, and integrated into wider structural frameworks. It addresses common topics such as design methodology, fabrication considerations, installation interfaces, and overall structural performance, helping you understand how robust and efficient connection designs are developed for steel projects.

See all our FAQs

What is the process for steel connection design?

Steel connection design begins by reviewing the structural drawings and load requirements for the project. Our team then designs the necessary connections to ensure each steel element can be safely and efficiently joined, taking into account fabrication methods, installation conditions, and structural performance requirements.


Why is steel connection design important in structural steelwork?

Steel connection design is essential to ensure that all structural elements work together safely and effectively. Properly designed connections help transfer loads correctly between beams, columns, and other components, while also supporting efficient fabrication and straightforward on-site assembly.


How does steel connection design integrate with fabrication and detailing?

Steel connection design is closely linked with both fabrication and detailing stages. Once connections are designed, they are incorporated into detailed drawings and 3D models, allowing the workshop to fabricate components accurately and ensuring everything fits correctly during installation on site.
