Module Type

E-learning

Description

Short description:
Understand steel manufacturing, modular assembly, and corrosion prevention across different construction environments.

Long description:
This module provides a comprehensive overview of the manufacturing and fabrication processes for steel used in construction. It introduces modular construction techniques, emphasizing the prefabrication of steel-framed units and their on-site assembly. Learners explore various environments where steel is used and the corresponding surface treatments and corrosion prevention methods tailored to each context. Special attention is given to factors influencing material longevity and the importance of protection strategies in harsh or variable environments such as offshore platforms, swimming pools, and bridge structures.

What you will learn

- Explain core principles of modular steel construction and prefabrication.
- Identify fabrication processes used in manufacturing construction steelwork.
- Distinguish corrosion risks across different structural environments.
- Select appropriate surface treatment methods based on exposure conditions.
- Assess the impact of environmental aggressiveness on steel performance.
- Recommend protection strategies for steel in high-risk environments.
