One engineering team, from design to fabrication drawings.
Halawi & Partners designs and details steel and concrete structures, plant piping and equipment, and buildings, from offices in Sidon, Lebanon and Cairo, Egypt. Steel detailing for US fabricators is our main focus.

- Ahead of US time
- 7 to 10 hours

What we do
Structures, plant piping, equipment and buildings, modeled and coordinated by one team, so every question is answered by the people who drew the work.
Steel detailing
Shop and erection drawings, anchor rod plans, material lists and CNC files for US fabricators, in Tekla Structures.
Structural engineering
Steel and concrete structures modeled, analyzed and designed to code, then detailed for construction.
Piping engineering
Plant layouts, 3D piping models, isometrics, specifications and pipe supports to ASME B31.
Pipe stress analysis
Static and dynamic stress analysis in Caesar II, with reports, support layouts and nozzle loads.
Static equipment
Pressure vessels, boilers and storage tanks to ASME VIII, ASME I and API 650/620.
BIM coordination
Architecture, structure and MEP in coordinated models, with clashes found on screen, not on site.
Architectural design
Design for commercial, residential and industrial buildings, coordinated with structure and MEP from the start.
MEP design
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing design, fire-fighting networks, and chilled- and hot-water systems.
Steel detailing for US fabricators
Our main focus. One model and one coordinated set, in the sheet series your shop already knows, checked before it reaches your floor.
| Series | Drawing | What it gives your shop |
|---|---|---|
| E0 | Anchor rod and embed plans | Rod sizes, projections and locations, so the field crew can set them before any steel arrives. |
| E1+ | Erection plans, elevations and details | Piece marks, bolt counts and connection references the erector works from. |
| A | Shop and assembly drawings | Every beam, column and brace with dimensions, holes, welds and cut lengths. |
| W | Single-part drawings | Plates, angles and fittings for the cutting and drilling floor. |
| BOM | Material lists and reports | Mill orders, cut lists and bolt lists taken straight from the model. |
| NC | CNC files (DSTV/NC1) and DXF | Files your saw, drill line and plasma table read directly. |
Selected projects
Pipe racks, substations, industrial buildings, boiler packages, plant piping and stress analysis for clients in the United States, Italy, the Netherlands, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Lebanon, Egypt and Kuwait.
How a project runs
Our offices are 7 to 10 hours ahead of US time, so comments you send at the end of your day are worked while your office is closed.
Send the documents
Drawings, specifications, standards and the schedule you are working to.
Scope and questions
We review the set, agree scope and schedule, and send written questions early.
Model and design
The structure, plant or building is modeled in 3D and designed to the governing codes.
Coordinate
Disciplines are checked against each other and clashes resolved in the model.
Check
A second engineer checks every calculation, model and sheet.
Issue
Drawings, reports and fabrication files are issued, then revised to your comments.
Clients in nine countries
Fabricators, contractors, consultants and owners in the United States, Italy, the Netherlands, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Lebanon, Egypt and Kuwait.
