Advances in the Bridge Fabrication Shop [B4]

Hear about technologies that steel bridge fabricators are beginning to employ that may save man-hours in the shop. For example, roboticsÊ being used to meet the requirements for rib to deck panel production of orthotropic steel deck (OSD). Also, the introduction of LiDAR and 3D modeling have created a date rich environment that may reduce erros, production time and ultimately cost in the fabrication of steel bridge girders. This session will include a look at the curent state of both virtual fabrication and BrIM in the modern steel bridge shop.
