Webinar Calendar

This webinar features a conversation with AWCI CEO Michael Stark on the growing impact of mission-critical construction, with a focus on data centers and the pressures they place on schedules, coordination and job-site performance.

We will examine how this shift is affecting contractors, framers, drywall crews and the trades as these projects demand tighter tolerances, cleaner workflows and higher reliability. We’ll also demonstrate tools built for mission-critical environments and show how their specific features, like spark-free cutting, controlled fastening and consistent output under demanding conditions, align with the strict requirements these projects impose.

The top of a rated wall is a critical intersection for firestopping, structural movement and jobsite detailing. This contractor-focused webinar takes a practical look at head-of-wall fire-resistive joints across flat slabs and fluted metal decks.

Through real-world examples, attendees will explore how joint width, movement, deck configuration and wall-orientation drive-system selection. We’ll compare traditional wool, sealant and spray methods with modern preformed gasket solutions to help you recognize field conditions, evaluate tested systems and choose the right approach for every application.
