Description:
When it comes to achieving speed in steel bridge fabrication, is it simply a matter of faster cutting, fitting, welding, and drilling?Or is there a role for owners, designers, and general contractors to play?Find out the key things that you can do to either accelerate your project or simply keep it on schedule. The NSBA recently published the new guide “Achieving Speed in Steel Bridge Fabrication”.This presentation will describe the process outlined in this guide along with other strategies for executing a successful steel bridge process.
