We live in a fast changing world and it is often difficult to stay abreast of all of the developments that affect our professional lives directly.
The steel construction sector has always made every effort to keep designers and contractors and their clients up to date with everything they need to know to make informed, optimal decisions on all steel related technical matters. A steady flow of technical research publications and marketing communications campaigns to ensure the up-to-date word gets out to as many people as possible is proof of that.
New Steel Construction can be seen as part of that effort, along with the Structural Steel Design Awards, and the free-to-use steel construction.info website which acts as a first port of call for anyone researching the constructional use of steelwork. Advice is always to hand from the sector’s own experts at the BCSA and Steel Construction Institute.
A good way to learn about key developments in the constructional steel industry, and what the future might hold is BCSA and Steel for Life’s Future of Steel Construction conference, which is advertised in this issue of NSC.
Taking place in November, the agenda includes a comprehensive agenda with keynote addresses, in-depth case study presentations, and expert-led lectures covering essential topics such as the latest updates to the Eurocodes, fire safety advancements, sustainability in steel design and emerging practices including refurbishment, reuse, and hybrid design.
Breakout sessions will provide opportunities for deeper-dive explorations of specialist topics, where leading experts will be on hand to answer questions. There will also be an exhibition area offering valuable opportunities to connect with key suppliers to the industry. The conference will conclude with a drinks reception, that will provide opportunities to network, stay informed, discuss problems and discover solutions that have worked for industry peers.
Structural steelwork is a very dynamic area, and although design and site practices have been honed to a fine degree over the years there is always something new coming through that it will pay to know about. Some clients and main contractors in the sheds sector, where structural steel has for long been the dominant force in the market, told NSC that they think design and construction of sheds has reached such a pitch of near perfection that they can’t see any need for further improvement. Sheds are becoming ever more sophisticated in their design and use as sectors like logistics and data centres create new demands, so it is very encouraging to hear from the sharp end that steel’s performance is so highly regarded.
Even they, however, would be well advised to keep abreast of keep abreast of recent changes, future changes, and the possible impacts on their professional practices and businesses. The conference aims to provide all of that, and more.
