So you want to build it in stainless steel

The British Stainless Steel Association and the Institute of Materials have teamed up with other industry partners to offer a workshop entitled 'So you want to build it in stainless steel!'.

Although stainless steel is increasingly chosen in the construction sector for its aesthetic appeal in combination with its excellent structural and corrosion resistant properties, the correct use of the material is sometimes overlooked by designers, fabricators and contractors.

Hence the British Stainless Steel Association (BSSA) and the Institute of Materials (IOM) have teamed up with other industry partners, to offer a workshop entitled 'So you want to build it in stainless steel!' to be held on Tuesday 28th May 2002 at the IOM's central London headquarters.

Topics include: guidance on the use of stainless steel in architecture, building and construction; selecting and specifying stainless steel surface finishes; design and fabrication of stainless-steel doors, windows and interior fittings; welding and post-weld treatment of stainless steels; forming and fastening stainless-steel wall panels; design and use of stainless-steel masonry support systems; and the importance of quality assurance and good site practice.

The speakers, chosen for their knowledge and experience in the use of stainless steel as a construction material, will illustrate the underlying principles of the topics presented with a series of case studies.

The registration fee is GBP 150 (plus VAT), to include course materials, coffee, tea and buffet lunch.

At a cost of GBP 225 (plus VAT), there is also the opportunity for companies with relevant products or services to take up exhibition space and provide a delegate for the day.
