What are the sustainability benefits of steel in operation?
People like a steel built environment, which is light, open, airy and adaptable. Steel structures mature with age, rather than deteriorate and decay. Steel’s long clear spans mean that interiors can be changed with ease.
Steel frames can readily be adapted and reconfigured to give old buildings a new lease of life. The longevity of a building is fundamental to its overall sustainability.
