Course Overview
Blueprints formally communicate to ironworkers important information that is required to get the job done. Construction requirements, as well as changes to requirements made by engineers during construction, are communicated through blueprints. Different forms of blueprints are used to provide specific information or procedures for a variety of situations such as lift plans, erection plans, temporary support plans, or fall protection plans. Understandably, you need to be proficient at reading, referencing, and managing information presented on various blueprints encountered within a workday to safely and effectively plan and execute work. By the end of IWKR 1203, you will be able to manage information from a blueprint to fabricate and install construction materials for a project.
