SteelDay Events

Are you looking for a hands-on event during SteelDays? Join Iron Workers Local 75 and AISC for an event like no other. You’ll experience a variety of different training stations that will allow you to experience what an ironworker does on a daily basis on a jobsite. You’ll have the opportunity to do virtual welding, bolting, beam rigging, or climb a column--plus, you’ll learn how to make the most of IMPACT and AISC resources on your next project. The tour will take roughly two hours. Bring PPE and safety goggles if you have them (or we’ll have some you can borrow) and be sure to wear long pants, work boots, and no tank tops/crop tops/quarter-length sleeves.

It takes a special structure to allow art to truly come to life--and we are lucky to have just that in the new Orange County Museum of Art! With its undulating form and distinct gallery spaces, OCMA is the final component of a multi-disciplinary arts campus surrounding the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa--and it won a 2023 IDEAS² Award from the American Institute of Steel Construction. Join Parbi Boodaghian, SE of John A. Martin Associates, Austin Griffis of Morphosis Architects, Tom Farrar of Clark Construction and AISC on Tuesday, October 17, for the inside story on how the designers used the geometric flexibility of structural steel to bring their vision from concept to construction. This free event runs from noon to 2:00 p.m. and will include lunch, networking, and a presentation from the design team. Subject to approval, you could earn 1.0 LU/PDH.

We are honored to host the 2023 AISC Steel Day at our fabrication facility in Ridgefield Washington. Please extend this invitation to members of your team to learn about advanced technology in fabrication. You and your team will be hands on and see how the team at Alpha Iron converts plans and specs to BIM Models and how our robots and CNC converts the model to steel buildings and components that are LIDAR controlled perfectly manufactured to build your projects. Our goal is that you and your colleagues will: • View how technology can improve quality and schedule and reduce cost as well as reduce labor on a project. • Leave with a new understanding of what can be built out of steel. • See how technology has improved the speed of fabrication. • Witness how complex fabrications can be built more efficiently with our automation. • Identify how other trades and layout can be integrated into fabrication including MEP and architectural connections.
