Inside issue 4-2021:
As we report on the latest developments in contemporary galvanized steel structures from across the world, we are pleased that this issue gets to the heart of the questions facing construction today – how to build innovatively, with confidence, for a low carbon future.
We are glad to say that all of the projects and articles in this edition show how designers, architects and contractors are responding to these issues with creativity and boldness. We are equally proud to showcase how the galvanizing industry is helping them achieve the solutions.
From green scaffolding that accommodates vertical vegetation, to groundbreaking projects like the 516 Arouca suspension bridge, which finds new ways to connect visitors with the landscape in a UNESCO natural heritage site, galvanizing is supporting innovation and green solutions.
Recently our industry has been promoting the circular benefits of galvanized steel, highlighting its suitability for reuse, remaking and repurposing. Our article on the recyclability of galvanized steel also shows that once all available lifecycle options have been exhausted, galvanized steel is ideally suited to recycling.
As these and many other galvanized steel projects show, progress is being made and hopefully that a net zero future is closer than many think.
