New Steel Construction have released their Annual Review of highlights from 2017. Which provides a highly deserved showcase for the astonishing depth of UK design, fabrication and construction skills used on steel projects of all shapes and sizes.

Within the Annual Review it includes the SSDA Awards, which has just celebrated its 49^th year. Some of the projects included were worked on by STRUMIS users, so we would like to use this opportunity to showcase some of the brilliant projects that our customers have worked on.

West Calder High School

Main Client: Hub South East Scotland

Architect: Archial NORR

Main Contractor: Morrison Construction

Structural Engineer: Arup

Steelwork Contractor: Hescott Engineering

Steel Tonnage: 800t

Work is progressing on a new 1,100 capacity secondary school in the West Lothian village of West Calder. The project will replace a nearby existing school and includes a host of amenities such as a swimming pool and other indoor and outdoor sports facilities.

The project architects say the school has been designed with the pupil experience at the core, as well as providing facilities accessible to the local community.

The swimming pool, fitness suite, games hall and outdoor sports pitches will be open to the public at certain times, as will the amphitheatre, which is a feature that forms an integral part of the school’s overall design.

Most of the school’s facilities, such as the pool, games hall and dining area, are all located within large column-free spaces. Consequently, their buildability was one of the main reasons for choosing a steel framing solution for the project.

“Early in the design process we looked at all framing options, weighing up their pros and cons. Ultimately to build the required long spans efficiently and quickly we went with a steel-framed solution,” says Arup Lead Project Engineer Ian Miller.

Market volatility can lead to companies searching for revenue in unexplored territories, which in itself is daunting. There are many unknown factors that will have to be researched and core skills that will need to be acquired.

However a STRUMIS customer found the secret to tapping into these markets. Sayed Hamid Behbehani and Sons Co. also known to many as SHBC have shifted their key focus from oil and gas. This is due to the fact that lagging oil prices are having a direct impact on the market and as a result they are now successfully focusing on Steel Fabrication thanks to their implementation of STRUMIS. They have found a guiding light within this new territory as STRUMIS gently directs them through each stage of the project providing time and cost savings along the way, while also reducing their material wastage therefore reducing their impact on the environment.

With the implementation of STRUMIS Steel Fabrication Management Information Software, you can work within multiple industry focuses such as:

• Structural steel buildings and bridges
• Storage silos, tanks and vessels
• Process pipes, spools and supports
• Architectural metal works, steps and decks
• Transmission towers and masts
• Miscellaneous and secondary steel

The key factor influencing companies to implement STRUMIS is that the software is not specific for any one part of the fabrication industry, however it has been purposely designed for the holistic use within fabrication.

Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Balmedie to Tipperty bridges

Main Client: Transport Scotland, Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council

Main Contractor: AWPR Construction Joint Venture

Steelwork Contractor: Cleveland Bridge

Steel Tonnage: 1,350t

A total of eight steel composite bridges have been constructed as a vital component of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route.

Covering a distance of 58km, the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) is the longest road building project currently under way in the UK.

Designed to significantly improve travel in and around Aberdeen and the north east of Scotland, the scheme is being delivered by a joint venture that includes Balfour Beatty and Morrison Construction.

According to a Transport Scotland spokesperson: “Steel was selected for the structures where the bridge geometry was too long a span or at too high a skew for concrete, or where steel provided a greater space for fitting major utilities below the bridge deck.”

Commenting on the work, Cleveland Bridge Head of Projects Dan Banks says: “The delivery of the first four bridges, which had components that were up to 43.4m-long and needed to be transported more than 300 miles, is a demonstration of our manufacturing and logistical capabilities.”
