Introduction

Course overview

Structural steel allows fast, precise construction of buildings, industrial facilities, bridges and towers. Successful steel projects depend on close coordination between design, detailing, fabrication, transport and erection, and on careful management of lifting operations, temporary stability, connections, quality and safety on site.

This Steel Structures Construction and Erection Management training course provides a complete view of the steel construction process. Participants learn about structural steel systems and materials, design and detailing workflows, fabrication and quality control, welding and bolting, corrosion and fire protection, erection planning, crane and lifting management, temporary stability and inspection.

The course is designed for engineers and managers responsible for planning, supervising or coordinating steel packages.
