Steelwork in Action published in New Civil Engineer

The latest Steelwork in Action special report is available in the July issue of New Civil Engineer (NCE) magazine.

Published in association with the British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) and Steel for Life, the supplement showcases five innovative steelwork projects.

The initial project feature is the London School of Economics Central Building, which consists of a largely exposed steel frame that fulfils the client’s architectural vision.

Steel construction was chosen as the most cost-effective framing solution for the £21.5M Circle Health private hospital, which is being built on the site of the former BBC Pebble Mill television studios in Birmingham.

Also, in the UK’s second city, the third of three steel-framed office blocks in Snowhill, is rapidly taking shape. This structure is 19-storeys high and will offer nearly 38,000m² of BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rated office space.

The University of Warwick’s new sports hub is a highly efficient and value engineered steel frame that will help the university achieve its ambitious physical activity targets.

Six steel bridges will be installed as part of Highways England’s £1.5bn A14 improvement scheme between Cambridge and Huntingdon. A grand total of 7,825t of structural steelwork will be fabricated and supplied to complete this project.
