steelTalks is a series on topics of interest to the global steel community. The lectures are presented in a webinar format with a guest lecturer. Modular construction is redefining material selection, enabling greater use of resilient materials while lowering lifecycle costs and emissions. This webinar explores how stainless steels contribute to this evolving construction approach.
Description
Modular construction allows for a rethinking of materials selections decisions which permits an increased use of more resilient materials whilst offering a significant reduction in both life cycle costs and life cycle emissions.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Explain the concept of modular construction and its benefits in urban development.
• Evaluate the role of stainless steel in improving durability, sustainability, and recyclability in modular structures.
• Compare modular construction with traditional methods in terms of cost, time, and safety.
• Apply lifecycle costing principles to assess the long-term viability of modular stainless steel structures.
