Scholars Walk / Keller Canopy
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. An architectural steel canopy of tapered MC12 channels with continuous full-penetration welds, offset check-mark frames on W8 verticals, and Halfen Detan suspension rods.
US-based shop drawings, erection drawings and coordinated 3D BIM models for steel fabricators, erectors, general contractors and engineers — delivered nationwide. Detailing in Tekla Structures since 2012.
Modeled in the tools your shop already runs
We speak each trade's language — from the fabricator's shop bill and CNC files to the erector's field bolt list, the GC's schedule and the engineer's submittal review.
Fabrication-ready shop drawings, BOMs and advance bills, plus DSTV/NC1 and DXF machine files that drive drill lines, saws and plasma tables straight from the model.
Clear erection and framing plans, anchor rod setting plans, field bolt point-to-point lists and sequencing so crews assemble safely and on schedule.
Coordinated packages that hold the schedule on fast-track jobs — with model-based clash detection that resolves conflicts before they reach the field.
Clean, well-organized submittals coordinated to your design intent, with a disciplined RFI process and connections modeled to your stamped calculations.
Model, drawings and machine files — structural steel and full miscellaneous / ornamental metals scope, checked by a senior detailer before it reaches you.
Beams, columns, braces, trusses and their connections — shop and erection drawings and 3D models translated precisely from the S-sheets.

Explore → 05Intelligent LOD 350/400 models in Tekla, SDS/2 or Advance Steel — one source of truth, with IFC/Navisworks clash detection.
Explore → 06Bolted and welded connections modeled per AISC and coordinated with your engineer of record and delegated connection designer.
Explore →The top of this market is enterprise and impersonal. The bottom is offshore and commoditized. Woodell owns the space in between — genuinely upscale, technically elite detailing delivered by a responsive US team that treats your fast-track job like it matters.
Established 2012 · A+ BBB profile · US-based team
Two publicly visible, architecturally exposed projects — including a Tekla BIM Awards category winner — that show the geometrically difficult work we take on.

University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. An architectural steel canopy of tapered MC12 channels with continuous full-penetration welds, offset check-mark frames on W8 verticals, and Halfen Detan suspension rods.

Lilydale Regional Park, Saint Paul. Structural steel detailing for a park shelter distinguished by a uniquely shaped zigzag roofline with seemingly random elevations — a study in non-orthogonal geometry.
Because detailing is delivered digitally, our Minnesota base doesn't limit where we work. Explore how we handle the challenges specific to your industry.
Offices, towers, retail, hospitality and mixed-use — fast-track schedules, moment and braced frames, feature stairs.
02Warehouses, plants and gigafactories — high tonnage plus the platforms, stairs and grating where our dual scope pays off.
03Hospitals, universities and civic buildings — phased, code-sensitive work for high-trust buyers.
04Bridges, transit, power and energy storage — technically demanding, standards-driven detailing.
Whether it's a 30-ton misc-metals package or a high-tonnage structural frame, you'll work with a senior US team from first model to fabrication release.
