Join us for part one of a two-part webinar series on the latest solutions for the cladding connection designs for structural steel buildings. This first webinar being held on October 26th will cover some of the biggest challenges that fabricators, engineers, and contractors in the structural steel industry face when designing façade attachments to a building structure. We will discuss new design methods and solutions such as bolted connections that do not require any field-welding to help enclose buildings quickly and reduce overall project schedules and costs.
Join Tim Ellis and Stewart Jeske who will discuss solutions for curtain-wall and cladding connections and how they can maximize efficiency and resiliency throughout the construction process.
