Construction

Over the last 40 years, people are using steel much more in the buildings they create, and it is now established as the material of choice for many construction projects. There are a number of reasons for this shift.

For the most part, steel’s popularity derives from its:

• strength and versatility
• high aesthetic potential
• ability to work well with other materials
• excellent environmental performance, offering high recyclability and reuse potential
• ability to be prefabricated offsite and constructed quickly and accurately onsite
• excellent durability and performance in use

The Corus involvement in the construction market stretches from basic research and materials through to new product development and even consultancy and support. Corus’ specialist design team works with architects and consulting engineers across the world to promote the most effective use of our metals.
