Excellence and innovation highlighted in SSDA shortlist

The shortlist for the 43rd Structural Steel Design Awards has been announced by the BCSA and Tata Steel.

The shortlisted projects for this year’s SSDA awards, reflect the geographical spread of steel’s appeal for jobs large and not-so-large, including single storey and multi storey buildings, bridges and other structures.

David Lazenby CBE, Chairman of the SSDA Judging Panel, said: “Structural steelwork demonstrates success yet again, as the material of choice. In these tough times the entries to the SSDA continue to show great imagination, professionalism and service to the clients.

“In challenging situations, the teams involved in these really exciting schemes have impressed the judges by the fine spirit of cooperation and ‘can do’ enthusiasm to produce some outstanding results. 2011 has brought forward a great demonstration of the industry’s strength and capabilities.”
