Innovation and Excellence in Building – Project One

Presented on: July 13, 2020

Webinar Sponsored by MiTek USA

The industry continues to advance and look for new solutions to age old problems that allow us to provide safe, affordable housing that also can be constructed in a way that meets the demands of today’s building climate. It takes a partnership from all levels of a project’s ownership, professional design and a broad range of contractors and material suppliers to make it work. This session will focus on a high level overview of the San Francisco Bay Area project, referred to as Project One, that is a recent example of how the utilization of offsite advanced structural frame components enabled a 4-story mixed used building to be framed in only 23 working days.

Being the Engineer of Record on a Metal Building Project

Presented on: July 1, 2020

Webinar Sponsored by Metal Building Manufacturers Association

Metal building systems are utilized in many low-rise applications – from shopping centers to airport hangars, from hospitals to schools, from warehouses to factories, from office buildings to medical centers. When a metal building is used, design responsibilities are usually shared between the manufacturer and the registered design professional(s), commonly the engineer of record (EOR). Therefore, a clear understanding of their respective roles, as well as coordination, and communication are crucial for success. This webinar will provide information about the metal building industry, review items related to specifying a metal building, construction inspection, and discuss why the involvement of an EOR is a key component to a project’s success.

Best Practices and Advanced Techniques for Mastering Model Integration

Presented on: July 23, 2020

Webinar Sponsored by Trimble

During this presentation we’ll share tips and tricks we’ve learned throughout the years helping countless firms master the integration process and eliminate duplicate work between your analytical model and your physical structural model. To truly harness the benefits of integration, users need both the capability to round-trip members, as well as the ability to leverage design information associated with members (the frequently all too fleeting “I” in BIM). We’ll touch on critical topics to tackle up-front to ensure smooth integration throughout a project, as well as advanced techniques to further drive efficiency.

Structural Design in the Plant Industry – Getting It Right from the Start

Presented on: February 6, 2020

Webinar Sponsored by Hexagon

Structural engineering, design and detailing are an integral part of the complete plant design process. Designing for equipment, pipes and walkways ensure the safety of your personnel and project assets. To accomplish these goals the design needs to be done in the context of the overall plant process. In this webinar, Burns & McDonnell, Hexagon PPM and SDS/2 Connect will present their structural solution as an integral part to that design. Member connections are automated so they can be completed early to avoid late changes if conflicts arise from other disciplines, such as piping or HVAC. In addition, the solution will optimize connections to reduce bolt numbers and plate welding as well as check for constructability and erectability. This offers the benefits of productivity and schedule impact. Connections are validated against specified design codes while ensuring correct and auditable construction that can be fed directly to the fabricators avoiding any re-entering of data.
