2025 AISC T.R.Higgins Lecture - Achieving Excellence in Fabricated Structural Steel
Presented by Ronnie Medlock, P.E., High Steel VP Technical Services.
What does it mean to achieve excellence in fabrication? How does the degree of excellence impact the success of a steel bridge project? How is excellence achieved? Answering correctly is paramount for achieving quality bridge projects that are cost-effective and on schedule. The 2025 AISC T. R. Higgins Lecture addresses these questions, providing shop floor insights that transcend bridge fabrication to any custom-manufactured engineering components.
