Location: Wyndham Philadelphia Airport Hotel | 45 Industrial Hwy., Essington, PA 19029

We have special guest speakers for our first meeting of the year!

The American Institute of Steel Construction developed an open source, comprehensive procurement system called steelXML in conjunction with steel mills, warehouses and steel industry specific software developers. It is simply a better way to buy steel!
More than 90% of structural steel in the US is purchased via fax or email requiring large amounts of manual re-entry of line items. steelXML enables direct and automated communication between the buyers and sellers of structural steel across the entire procurement process.

Electronic Request for Quote, Purchase Orders, Bills of Lading, Advanced Shipping Notices, Mill Test Reports, LEED Information
Reduced errors across multiple functional areas (less redundant manual input=less chance for human error)
Increased productivity & quality control
Major Industry Support at ALL Levels of the Supply Chain
Faster Turnaround on Pricing
Move Towards E-Commerce
Standardized File Types
Eliminates Fax and Manual Entries

Hoover-Mason Trestle
101 Founders Way, Bethlehem, PA 18015
Allow one hour for optional self-guided tour
Completed in 1907, the Hoover-Mason Trestle connected Bethlehem Steel’s ore yards to the blast furnaces at the heart of the plant. For almost a century, cars ran along it daily, delivering the ingredients for making iron. Today, it has been reimagined as an elevated park and pedestrian walkway. Member companies Levan Associates, Inc. and LVTA fabricated and detailed the steel for this unique project which was completed in 2015.
Please allow 15 minutes travel time to drive from the HMT to Lehigh campus.

Lehigh University ATLSS Center
Organized tour begins at 4:00 p.m. Please arrive 5-10 minutes prior to start of tour.
The Center for Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems (ATLSS) at Lehigh University is a multi-directional experimental laboratory sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Its mission is to conduct cutting-edge research for civil and marine infrastructure and it is one of the largest of its kind in North America.

Lehigh University Fritz Engineering Lab
Organized tour begins upon completion of ATLSS tour.
The national historic civil engineering landmark that is Fritz Lab occupies a venerable place in the story of modern structural engineering. Originally built in 1909, new construction in 1955 added two high-bay testing areas to the research facility, including a 5,000,000 pound testing machine! The lab is active daily, testing structural members and components for industry and research.
Tour expected to conclude by 5:30 p.m. Please allow 30 minutes travel time to drive from Lehigh campus to Coca Cola Park.

We will end the day at the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs Baseball Game vs. Gwinnett Georgia Braves at Coca-Cola Park

It’s throwback time at the Mid-Atlantic Steel Fabricators Association. Our upcoming meeting on November 16th will be the last at Williamson’s Restaurant. Their complex is being redeveloped and this will end our long relationship with them. We trace our history from the original location at the top of the GSB Building on City Line Ave to here in Willow Grove. It had us reminiscing which inspired us. We believe it would be great to invite some of our past industry leaders to our meeting to recognize their significant contributions to our industry. We would not be as successful as we are without their previous efforts.

So please reach out to the men and women who you consider to be leaders in the steel industry, whether they were members of our association or not, and invite them to celebrate an evening of history with us on Wednesday, November 16th. Let us know their names by emailing Leanne at Leanne.masteelfab@comcast.net. Since they will be our honored guests for the evening there is no charge for them to attend.

Winning with Steel by Steve Redman
2016-06-15 18:00 - 21:00 UTC | Williamson’s Restaurant, 500 Blair Mill Rd., Horsham, 19004, United States
Winning with Steel: Everything (well almost everything) you wanted to know about structural steel but were afraid to ask.
The presentation looks at understanding the structural steel supply chain, the importance of early involvement of structural steel fabricators and erectors, the Code of Standard Practice, and Certification of Fabricators and Erectors. We will examine steel by answering five questions:

What advantages does structural steel provide to the project?
What do I need to know about structural steel supply chain that will allow me to better manage the structural steel package?
What expectations should I have about the structural steel when it arrives on site and is erected?
How do I manage risk relative to the structural steel package?
Where do I turn to get more help and explore these topics more deeply?
