VTGI, FEG and SidePlate Collaborate on Innovative ProjectSDS/2 customers Virginia Tidewater Group (VTGI) of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Fitzpatrick Engineering Group (FEG) of Cornelius, North Carolina, recently teamed up with SidePlate to develop and implement the first all-bolted SidePlate moment project. The project team used a shop model review process, which enabled FEG to log on to VTGI's server and approve the model and drawings in real time. This virtual approval meant it took only one day for approvals and eliminated the RFI process. The 352-ton, three-story medical office building was erected in less than two weeks, with no fabrication errors or misfits in the field.

Model Review Seminar, Webinar Coming in FebruaryInnovative Steel Detailing and Design Data are teaming up for a model review seminar in Houston, Texas, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. February 20th at the Sheraton North Houston Hotel. Design Data's James Schwartz and Tyler Hix will be presenting information on implementing the model review process, which is gaining more traction as project teams are discovering the advantages of using a model either alongside or instead of traditional shop drawings. If you're interested in signing up for this free seminar, or scheduling a similar seminar in your area, please contact Design Data. Design Data will also be conducting an introduction to model review sales webinar on February 25th at 10 a.m. The content of the webinar will be similar to the model review seminars conducted with AISC over the last year.
