CSA S16:24 in Practice: Managing Design, Fabrication and Construction Risk in Steel Projects

The release of CSA S16:24 introduces important updates that extend beyond structural design calculations, influencing fabrication, inspection, quality assurance, and project delivery across Canadian steel construction. To successfully implement the new standard, engineers must understand not only the technical changes but also how they affect coordination, documentation, compliance, and risk management throughout the project lifecycle.

This webinar provides a practical guide to applying CSA S16:24 in real-world steel projects. Participants will explore key changes from CSA S16:19, examine how updated requirements impact design and construction workflows, and learn strategies for managing technical, fabrication, and construction risks while improving collaboration between engineers, fabricators, contractors, and project stakeholders.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Overview of CSA S16:24 and key updates from CSA S16:19
• Alignment with NBC 2025 requirements
• Design implications of the revised standard
• Structural risk identification and assessment
• Seismic design and performance considerations
• Fabrication quality and inspection requirements
• Construction coordination and stakeholder responsibilities
• Quality assurance and documentation practices
• Managing compliance and project delivery risks
• Communication between engineers, fabricators, and contractors
• Risk mitigation throughout the steel project lifecycle
• Lessons learned and implementation best practices
