Worldwide Steel Fabrication Scanning Tour

Partnership Between FHWA, Private Industry, And Academia

Background: The objective of this Federal Highway Administration initiative is to bring steel fabrication experts from government and private organizations together to review advanced steel fabrication practices and procedures worldwide. Observations of the review panel will be consolidated and summarized in a widely distributed report. Recommendations of the panel will be considered by the industry in the on-going process of modernization, fast-tracking that process. The end-result will be more reliable and economic steel bridge structures in the United States of America.
