Take the Risk out of New Project Delivery Methods: Webinar 5/17/2022 11:00 AM - 5/17/2022 12:00 Noon

Wed, 04 May 2022 12:34:22 GMT

The lack of collaboration between the designer and contractor has driven the industry from the traditional design-bid-build approach to alternative delivery methods. These new methods have reduced unexpected change orders, improved project delivery time, increased client satisfaction and established a relationship between designer and contractor.

However, not everything is as easy as it seems. Organizations have had to change how they have traditionally executed their projects, which has led to analysis and change of existing tools, business process and program management. This is the journey Kiewit finds itself on today and is currently adding standardization and process to alternative design method projects to fully complete its project controls integration.

In this webinar, join InEight and Kiewit as they discuss:

Problems the new delivery methods introduced
The value of standardizing tools, process and program management
Project controls integration
Challenges you can expect to face and how to overcome them

Where Your Steel Comes From and Why it Matters: Webinar 5/18/2022 11:00 AM - 5/18/2022 12:00 Noon

Wed, 04 May 2022 16:01:13 GMT

EARN: 1 PDH; 1 AIA LU/HSW; 0.1 IACET CEU

If you are like most in the AEC community, you understand the “nuts and bolts” of steel design and construction. But have you considered how your structural steel is made? Though typically overlooked, where and how steel your structural steel is produced can have a profound impact on your project’s cost, schedule and sustainability story.

This webinar explores the way steel is being sustainably produced right here in the United States, and why a domestic supply chain is so important for minimizing project risks and achieving optimal positive project outcomes. You won’t look at steel the same way ever again!

Learning Objectives:

Illustrate the steelmaking process and how electric arc furnace technology utilizes scrap metal to make steel the most highly recycled material on the planet.
Discuss the environmental impact associated with how steel is made, both globally and domestically, and how employing procurement strategies can effectively achieve sustainability goals.
Describe how carbon documentation, environmental product declarations and life-cycle assessments can be tools that help evaluate and influence project design.
Demonstrate how innovative products such as high-strength and net-zero carbon steel can further reduce the global warming potential in the design phase of project exploration.
