Constructing in New York presents a vary-ing set of challenges. As structures in New York get taller and more complex, the role of the structural engineer in the construction phase has become more important. More and more often, structural engineers find themselves working with the contractors and fabricators during the design phase to alleviate complex construction challenges including structural stability, logistics, and difficult steel connections and coordination.

This seminar is designed to assist in under-standing these topics that are not always part of the design professional’s base scope of work. Join us as recognized experts share practical information that can help you and your client construct a better structure.

Topics Covered

· Support of Excavation/Dewatering

· Union vs Non-Union Facts

· Special Inspections on Site

· Cranes and Logistics

· Structural Stability

· Concrete Construction

PresentationsSupport of Excavation/De-wateringSpeaker: David Good (Partner, Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers)Ketan Trivedi (Senior Associate, Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers)This presentation will provide a general overview of excavation support and underpinning systems that are commonly used and their impact on neighboring buildings. It will include descriptions of common forms of excavation support and underpinning systems used in urban environments, including a description of SOE systems used as permanent foundations.

Union vs Non-Union FactsSpeaker: Allan Paull( Senior Vice President , Tishman)New York City construction projects employ both unionized and Open Shop trades. This presentation will discuss the specifics of union and Open Shop approaches and how they affect the construction process.

Special Inspections On SiteSpeaker: Paul Hoffmann (Senior Vice President, HAKS)This presentation discusses the code requirements that govern New York City Special Inspections. It will entail the elements of special inspections and the requirements of the parties involved in the process.

Cranes and LogisticsSpeaker: Jay Shapiro (Principal, Howard I. Shapiro & Associates)This presentation will explore the use of cranes and the logistics involved in the pre-construction planning. It will also focus on the regulations to which cranes are subjected.
