Structural Steel Field Leadership

Understand structural steel before you are expected to lead it.

Structural Steel Field Leadership is a practical beginner’s guide for Construction Science students, interns, project engineers, assistant superintendents, new foremen, and developing field leaders.

Written from real field experience, this course explains how structural steel is read, planned, raised, connected, bolted, decked, inspected, and managed—in straightforward language.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• How to read erection drawings, shop drawings, piece marks, beam sizes, elevations, orientation, camber, bolt callouts, and revisions

• How structural-steel erection is sequenced around stability, access, cranes, deliveries, and material flow

• How raising gangs, connectors, yard crews, shakeout crews, plumb-up crews, bolt-up crews, welders, deckers, safety crews, and stud crews work together

• The differences between conventional heavy-hex bolts, TC bolts, snug-tightened joints, pretensioned joints, and slip-critical joints

• How turn-of-nut, TC, calibrated-wrench, and direct-tension-indicator installation methods work

• Common metal-deck types, profiles, and gauges

• How Nelson studs are welded through deck, what “burn-off” means, and why studs must be ordered to produce the required after-weld height

• How manpower, crane cycles, production, cost, documentation, safety, and leadership connect

EVERYTHING INCLUDED

• 30-page Student Manual and Field Workbook

• Instructor Guide and Answer Key

• Steel Erection Field Checklist

• Drawing-Reading Practice Sheet

• Bolt and Nelson Stud Field Reference

• Completion Certificate

THE STORY BEHIND THE COURSE

This course began when senior construction superintendent Robbie Meyer created a structural-steel lesson for his daughter Molly while she was studying Construction Science and gaining experience with a steel erector.

What began as one father teaching one student developed into a practical field guide for the next generation of construction leaders.
