Record entry again expected for Design Awards

The sponsors of the Structural Steel Design Awards, the BCSA, Corus and the SCI, have invited entries for the 2007 competition.

The organisers are again anticipating a record number of entries for the awards which celebrate the excellence of steel structures in the United Kingdom or overseas that have been built by UK steelwork contractors using steel predominantly sourced from Corus.

The Awards are open to steel based structures in the UK or abroad, but they must be ready for occupation or use during the calendar years of 2005 and 2006.

The objective of the Awards is demonstrate steel’s potential in terms of efficiency, cost effectiveness, aesthetics and innovation.

Commenting on this year’s entries, David Lazenby, Chairman of the Judging Panel said the range of work continues to be enormous and all were good, some were very good and a handful outstanding.

Closing date for submission of entries is 15 December 2006.
