Course overview

Introduction

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.

Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain common structural steel systems and their behaviour
  • Understand steel grades, sections and material certification
  • Manage design, detailing and fabrication information flows
  • Control fabrication quality including welding and bolting
  • Plan corrosion protection and fire protection systems
  • Develop safe erection sequences and method statements
  • Manage crane selection, lifting plans and temporary stability
  • Inspect and accept completed steel structures

Target Audience

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals, including:

  • Construction and project managers
  • Site and structural engineers
  • Steel package managers
  • Fabrication and erection supervisors
  • Quality control inspectors
  • Health and safety professionals in construction

Training Methodology

The course uses drawings, method statements, inspection records and case studies of steel projects and incidents. Participants plan an erection sequence, prepare a lifting plan outline, review welding and bolting inspection records and identify stability risks during erection.

Target Competencies

  • Steel system understanding
  • Fabrication coordination
  • Connection quality control
  • Protection system planning
