Design & Engineering Support
Engineers help select the product and tooling for an application.
General details
Design and engineering support is a service where engineers help select a product and its tooling for an application. It can include design calculations, technical consultation, job site demonstration and training. The work often starts from project loading or a stated requirement.
Process
The application and loading are discussed with an engineer. The engineer suggests a product and tooling, and may do design calculations. Training and on-site demonstrations can be arranged.
Materials handled
This service applies to construction and industrial products, including anchors, fasteners and tooling. It is not limited to one material.
Capacity
Ask about the range of applications the engineer can cover. Ask about the turnaround time for design calculations. Ask about on-site demonstration and training availability.

Quality control
This is a general guide to what to ask for, and it is not a statement from any supplier.
Ask for the design calculations and assumptions in writing. Check that the product selected matches the base material and loading. Ask for a record of the training or demonstration.
