Houston Branch Technical Session
August 13 @ 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM CDT
Join the ASCE Houston Branch for their upcoming Technical Session on Wednesday, August 13.
Session: “Workshop on Structural Design of Modules for Energy and Industrial Facilities (Part 1 of 2)”
When: 1:00 – 5:00 PM CT
Where: Dow Center, 1254 Enclave Pkwy, Houston, TX 77077
This is part 1 of a 2-part workshop, sponsored by ASCE’s Energy Division, one of the nine technical groups under the ASCE Center for Technical Advancement. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of modular construction, including its benefits, challenges, and key principles, as well as early design development concepts and front-end engineering design (FEED) for module design. They will explore structural design principles, load considerations, and techniques for ensuring accurate dimensions during fabrication. The workshop will also equip attendees with practical skills to address common design challenges and apply dimension control techniques in modular projects.
