With some early planning and interaction with the erector during the design phase, engineers may find that projects run more smoothly during construction. Having a basic understanding of what is advantageous and challenging to the steel erector can help facilitate such planning and constructability integration by the engineer into his or her drawings. In this webinar, participants will learn what an engineer needs to know about steel erection. Topics will include:
Erector (and fabricator) friendly connections
Field welding guidelines
Construction stability issues to consider
Items in the specifications for the erector that may need clarification
Examples of the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in erection planning
