Accelerated Steel: Achieving Speed in Steel Bridge Fabrication
When it comes to increasing the speed of steel fabrication, cutting, fitting, welding, drilling, cleaning, and coating are only part of the equation.
You can also make steel fabrication faster by optimizing what goes on outside the shop, like getting materials, facilitating routine procedures, and coordinating inspection.
The key to accelerated steel bridge fabrication is creating seamless teamwork between the fabricator, owner, engineer, and contractor--and NSBA’s new guide is designed to help you do just that.
Accelerated Steel: Achieving Speed in Steel Bridge Fabrication describes how each of these roles affects critical shop support activities, which can make or break the fabrication schedule. This guide describes the ideal schedule for every step of fabrication as well as the responsibilities for owners, designers, and general contractors.
