MC Ironworks (MCIW) is participating in National SteelDay on Friday, September 24, 2010.
This event showcases the importance of steel to our nation’s infrastructure, interstate commerce, tourism, and overall economy.
John Cancelliere, president and chief executive officer, said, “The steel industry is alive and well right here in the Lehigh Valley. This event is also a great way to reach out to engineering professionals and students to promote the innovative thinking needed to build and maintain our infrastructure. We want to create awareness of the importance of steel, the need for structural engineers and encourage our next generation to choose this incredible field.”
“Guests will experience a 30-minute guided tour of MCIW’s 90,000 sq. ft. fabrication facility and watch our skilled personnel transform raw steel into superior product on highly automated equipment, fabricated to exact specifications. In addition, we will tour the 23,000 sq. ft. isolated and climate-controlled paint shop which is AISC certified with a P1-Sophisticated Paint Endorsement,” he added.
SteelDay is an interactive day with the structural steel industry. The event was developed by The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) to showcase the important role steel plays in the bridges and buildings across the country and around the world.
