Early steel detailing can mean big time savings

DEERFIELD, ILL. — Developing the structural steel shop drawings concurrently with the development of the structural construction documents is a process known as early steel detailing. This process, once understood and agreed upon by the design and construction teams, can save projects significant time in the schedule. Learn from Matthew S. Trammell, P.E., structural engineering manager at TRC Worldwide Engineering Inc., as he explains the process his team executed for the Our Lady of Lourdes Replacement Hospital saving two months of construction time.
