Structural Steel Design Awards 2024


“Since their inception in 1969, the SSDA’s have showcased exemplary steelwork projects in the UK and Ireland, which are exceptional when measured on a global benchmark.

“The UK and Ireland remains at the forefront in its use of steel as a construction material. Steel solutions provide low-carbon, high-quality structures designed with reuse in mind.

“These projects show that buildings and infrastructure are for the future, not just the present. Steel creates beautiful, functional, adaptable, and cost-effective spaces. Sustainability is central, especially with the Building Safety Act prompting further improvement. However, our industry is resilient and adaptable.

“Advances in robotics and digital platforms are changing practices, which should be applauded. This evolution will help ensure the UK and Ireland remain the most steel-intensive construction markets. From bespoke solutions to industrial designs, steel is the clear choice for its societal and economic contributions.”

Jonathan Clemens, Chief Executive Officer, British Constructional Steelwork Association.
