Steel Structure Consulting Services for Businesses

In steel structure projects such as factories, warehouses, or high-rise buildings, risks like design overloading, excess material costs, construction errors, and non-compliance with technical standards are constant concerns for investors and general contractors. At Truong Thinh Corp, we provide comprehensive structural steel consulting services that maximize steel utilization efficiency, minimize investment costs, and ensure strict compliance with international standards such as AISC (USA), Eurocode (EU), and TCVN (Vietnam).

1. Why choose Truong Thinh structural steel consulting?

With nearly 20 years of experience in design – fabrication – and erection of industrial steel structures, Truong Thinh Corp has earned the reputation of a reliable technical partner for both domestic and international investors. Our consulting services focus on three core factors that global investors value most: cost optimization, technical risk control, and professional engineering expertise.

1.1 Cost optimization

At Truong Thinh, every project begins with an in-depth technical analysis. Our engineers evaluate and refine the existing design to reduce the steel weight while maintaining load-bearing capacity. By optimizing member sections, joints, and bolt–weld connections, we help reduce up to 10–15% of total steel consumption, resulting in significant investment savings.

As a direct manufacturer, Truong Thinh also leverages real-world fabrication and erection data to propose cost-efficient solutions for labor, transportation, and auxiliary materials. We provide material grade recommendations suited to the load and environmental conditions, ensuring long-term performance, sustainability, and cost efficiency without waste.

1.2 Absolute technical risk control

Truong Thinh understands that even a minor design or construction error can result in multi-million-dollar losses for investors.

Therefore, we implement a multi-level technical control system, including:

• Design verification according to international standards (AISC, Eurocode, TCVN).
• Feasibility studies to identify potential structural weaknesses and recommend improvements.
• Structural simulations for wind, seismic, and extreme weather loads using advanced engineering software (SAP2000, Tekla Structures).

As a result, all technical solutions are verified for safety, durability, and constructability, helping investors minimize legal and engineering risks from the earliest stage. For projects that require deeper technical alignment between consulting and design, Truong Thinh also provides professional steel structure design services to ensure every drawing is optimized for both fabrication efficiency and on-site performance.

1.3 Expert engineering team

Truong Thinh’s team includes structural engineers, mechanical engineers, and design specialists with international certifications and hands-on experience across hundreds of large-scale industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects.

We utilize Tekla Structures, AutoCAD, and Revit Structure for modeling, analysis, and quantity take-off, ensuring precision before fabrication and erection. Our consultants not only work on drawings but also provide on-site technical support, ensuring full alignment between design intent and field conditions.

2. Specialized consulting services

Truong Thinh Corp’s structural steel consulting process is divided into three stages, from concept design consulting to detailed engineering design and construction support, ensuring quality, safety, and on-time delivery.

2.1 Stage 1 – Project consulting

Upon receiving initial project documentation, our engineering team conducts a comprehensive analysis of functionality, scale, budget, and site conditions. We then propose the most suitable structural concept, which may include Pre-Engineered Frames, Space Frames, or Hybrid Structures, depending on project requirements and technical constraints.

In parallel, Truong Thinh provides initial investment and long-term maintenance cost assessments, enabling investors to make data-driven decisions rather than relying solely on construction prices. This approach ensures accurate budgeting and optimized lifecycle costs throughout the project’s operation.

2.2 Stage 2 – Detailed engineering design

This is the core phase of our consulting process. Based on the approved concept, our structural engineers thoroughly review and refine technical designs to detect potential issues and enhance both structural efficiency and economic performance. We also provide Shop Drawing Consulting, ensuring that all drawings are compatible with actual fabrication procedures and aligned with Truong Thinh’s efficient steel structure manufacturing solutions, guaranteeing seamless integration between design and production. This minimizes steel waste, controls fabrication errors, and keeps production schedules stable.

All finalized drawings undergo strict QA/QC inspection under ISO 9001:2015, guaranteeing absolute accuracy before fabrication begins. This ensures every technical detail complies with international standards before actual construction.

2.3 Stage 3 – Construction support

During the erection phase, Truong Thinh Corp continues to accompany clients as both a technical consultant and field partner across various markets:

• In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, we provide turnkey services covering design – fabrication – erection, ensuring on-site quality and progress. Our field engineers assess lifting, assembly, and safety conditions for each structural element, particularly for heavy-duty or complex projects.
• For international projects, Truong Thinh focuses on steel fabrication, design consulting, and export logistics. All components are produced under ISO 9001:2015 and AWS D1.1 (Welding Standard – USA), then carefully packaged and shipped to global job sites.

3. Truong Thinh’s structural steel consulting process

Our consulting workflow is designed to ensure seamless integration between design, manufacturing, and construction, allowing investors and contractors to control quality, cost, and schedule from day one.

Step 1 – Project data review

Upon receiving concept or preliminary drawings, Truong Thinh’s engineers identify project objectives, scope, budget, and specific technical requirements. We discuss directly with the investor or general contractor to clarify technical priorities, applicable standards (AISC, Eurocode, TCVN), and actual site conditions — forming the foundation for the next evaluation stage.

Step 2 – Preliminary assessment & scope definition

Truong Thinh performs a preliminary design review to identify potential issues in loading, section sizing, or constructability. Findings are summarized in a Preliminary Technical Report, including a detailed Scope of Work proposal. This stage acts as a “design health check”, helping investors make informed technical decisions before entering the detailed analysis phase.

Step 3 – Technical analysis & Optimization

Using advanced 3D modeling software (Tekla Structures, SAP2000, ETABS), Truong Thinh performs load simulations, stress checks, and section optimizations to achieve maximum strength with minimum steel weight.

Engineers also simulate erection and connection sequences to anticipate construction challenges and propose material and joint optimization solutions, reducing fabrication errors and costs.

This stage not only ensures structural safety but also helps investors save 10–15% of total steel weight while maintaining durability and performance.

Step 4 – Presentation & revision

After completing the analysis, Truong Thinh submits a comprehensive technical report, including calculation models, drawings, and cost-efficiency comparisons between the original and optimized designs. We hold a technical presentation session to discuss recommendations, address feedback, and finalize digital drawings (DWG, Tekla Model) ready for fabrication or detailed construction design.

Step 5 – Implementation support & supervision

Unlike many consultants who stop at drawings, Truong Thinh stays with clients through on-site supervision. Our field engineers inspect incoming materials, monitor welding – painting – assembly processes, and propose safe, efficient erection methods.

During final inspection, we coordinate with the client to ensure compliance with all standards — from weld quality (AWS D1.1) to coating protection (ISO 12944). Thanks to our standardized and disciplined consulting process, every Truong Thinh project achieves perfect alignment between design, fabrication, and erection, ensuring investment efficiency, structural quality, and long-term operational safety.
