Commercial Repair & Maintenance Educational Presentations
STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES teams with designers and engineers to make structures stronger and last longer. STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES’ recognized subject matter experts (SMEs) deliver educational seminars to our partners that specifically address solutions that repair, protect, and enhance civil and structural infrastructure in the commercial and public markets. Our SMEs and market specialists will work with you to ensure each session is tailored to meet your needs.
In Person
One of our subject matter experts will join you and your team at your facility to present a custom presentation to address your company’s needs. You will have the opportunity to speak to us about questions and concerns you may have regarding commercial/public infrastructure with current or upcoming projects, as well as be educated on the subject of your choice. Lunch is provided.
Webinar
We also offer webinar versions of our educational sessions. Schedule a live session with one of our subject matter experts who will present a custom webinar to you and your team. These webinars still allow the flexibility to have a discussion with our team regarding any questions or concerns at your facility.
