Yes, we produce bolt-ready steel components with hole patterns verified against the dimensional rules of the AISC Steel Construction Manual and RCSC specifications. Our process ensures that standard holes are typically punched or drilled 1/16 in. larger than the nominal bolt diameter for bolts up to 1 in. diameter.
To maintain high standards of precision, we utilize high-definition plasma cutting and CNC drilling technology. Our in-house design and drafting team reviews AutoCAD shop drawings and cut sheets to confirm layouts and flag potential conflicts before fabrication begins.
Our fabrication tolerances generally align with AISC 303 Section 7, which commonly includes:
- ±1/32 in. on center-to-center distances within a hole group.
- ±1/16 in. on overall hole-group location relative to member ends.
We also verify minimum edge distances and bolt spacing against applicable AISC tables. While AISC is a common requirement for industrial and cross-border projects, we also verify criteria against CSA S16 when governed by those standards.
For project-specific hole specifications and a formal quote, please contact a representative with your drawings for confirmation, as our site content is for informational purposes.
