Corbin Collier, P.E., Principal at Weldment Design LLC, and Stephanie Kennard, CEO of IDEA StatiCa US, lead a discussion and live demonstration that explore:

The benefits and risks of delegated connection design in industrial steel projects
How to improve communication and accountability between EORs, connection engineers, and fabricators
A real-world case study: Connection design for an industrial pipe rack — from load paths to constructible details
Best practices for modeling and code-checking complex connections using IDEA StatiCa Connection
2025 recap and what’s next for 2026 — including new features supporting connection/industrial workflows

Speakers

Delegated connection design continues to challenge structural project teams — from defining design responsibility to ensuring constructability and code compliance. Misalignment between engineers of record (EORs), connection designers, detailers, and fabricators often leads to inefficiencies, RFIs, and costly redesigns. In this webinar, we unpacked where some of these inefficiencies occur and how tools like IDEA StatiCa can provide some solutions.

View this one-hour webinar with Corbin Collier, P.E. and principal at Weldment Design, who shared insights from over 15 years in heavy steel fabrication across the defense, mining, energy, manufacturing, and transport sectors. In conversation with Stephanie Kennard, CEO of IDEA StatiCa US, they explored the challenges, pitfalls, and practical solutions in delegated connection design. If you're interested in more project details, check out the case study as well.

We also showcased some of the connections that Corbin designed for the pipe rack project in a live demonstration of IDEA StatiCa Connection.
