Background
 This is where
the National Ornamental and Miscellaneous Metals Association purpose
and direction are defined.
The complete
accomplishments of the Northeast Chapter from its inception to
the current status.
Education
NOMMA
the Northeast Chapter was a Registered Provider of educational
seminars for the Continuing
Education Systems of the American Institute of Architects as a
non-profit professional association. Due to Chapter problems, our providership
was not renewed for 2006. Currently we are working to rectify this situation.
The AIA
website contains pertinent information on
various programs for architects.
-
The primary focus of the educational seminars
conducted by our Chapter is on comprehension of metal working
specifications.
-
Detailed information is given on correct
specification of finishing metal in one seminar.
-
The differences between custom fabrication as
compared to fabrication of stock material is discussed in a separate
seminar.
The National
Ornamental and Miscellaneous Metals Association [NOMMA] is the core
from where all our educational ideals and goals originate. On the NOMMA
website
there will be information on different welding techniques for bronze and when
to utilize each of them, the different degrees of grinding and cleaning welded
joints and much more information. Additionally NOMMA and NAAMM have mutually
written a new METAL FINISHES MANUAL.
The National Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers [NAAMM] has
been establishing the standards in the metal fabrication, finishing and
specification writing fields for decades. The NAAMM
website provides the opportunity to purchase the Metal Finishing manuals
as well as fabrication specification guides that are the "Rosetta
Stone" for metal working.
When questions arise concerning building code authorities, please consult our
LINKS
TO CODE GOVERNING BODIES page
for direct information from the code writing bodies. However, the LOCAL
BUILDING OFFICIAL has the final say in his municipality.
The
Northeast Chapter meetings are centered around educational
demonstrations on different means of
fabrication, welding techniques, forging steel and aluminum as well as sharing
new information on insurances and products or services.
Plans are
being formulated to coordinate an educational workshop with a New
Jersey technical high school to instruct students
on metal working. The
instructors would be rotating Chapter members volunteering their time.
Websites mentioned as a source of information regarding the metal
fabrication field are listed here on the Website
Links page. This website as well as NOMMA and the Northeast Chapter
of NOMMA do not condone or recommend these links as empirical guides. They are
presented for information purposes only.
