Technical Tour to Modular Steel Structure Construction Site for Civil Engineering Students
The Department of Civil Engineering at Adıyaman University Faculty of Engineering organized a technical tour to a construction site using modular steel structure systems so that students could observe the practical applications of the theoretical knowledge they learned in the Steel Structures course.
During the visit, students gained comprehensive information about the production process of steel modules, assembly techniques, connection details, and quality control practices.
Modular steel structures are one of the modern building technologies that stand out with their high strength-to-weight ratio, quick assembly capability, demountability, and environmentally friendly production processes.
Modular structures are both a production and construction process that offers many advantages, such as flexibility, shortened project times, reduced construction site costs, and increased quality, where a building is produced in a controlled environment in a factory in the form of modules and then these modules are assembled on site to form a complete building.
These systems have found a wide range of applications in recent years, from industrial facilities to residential projects, temporary housing areas to educational buildings and healthcare facilities.
Modular steel structures, which stand out for their high strength, quick assembly, and sustainable production capabilities, will find a much broader application area in the coming years, alongside new design approaches emerging at the intersection of architecture and engineering disciplines.
We would like to express our special thanks to the managers of DMT Modular Construction for their interest, knowledge sharing, and hospitality shown to our students during the technical tour:
Ahmet Aydoğan – Board Member
Yılmaz Günay – Mechanical Engineer, Project Manager
Erdal Karaköse – Mechanical Engineer, Engineering Manager
Yusuf Bilgiç – Civil Engineer, Site Manager
Our department attaches great importance to technical tours and industry collaborations such as this, which provide students with the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in the field.
