Projects in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas July 10, 2024 (Winston-Salem, N.C.) The Steel Erectors Association of America (SEAA) announces the winners of its 2024 Projects of the Year. Two companies were recognized for Miscellaneous Metals and three for Structural Steel projects.
Projects that were topped out in 2022 or 2023 were eligible and must have been completed without significant accident or injury. Submissions are reviewed and winners are selected by an independent panel of judges from an engineering firm not affiliated with the association. “Only one of the five winning companies is a prior recipient of this award, and two of them are relatively new members of SEAA,” said Drew Heron, Chairman of the Awards Committee. “Regardless of the size or scope, each of these projects demonstrated the grit and talent it takes to be an ironworker,” he said. Winners receive trophies, feature article coverage in Connector magazine, and the chance to participate in peer panel discussions. Summaries provided below.

These are the sounds of the steel erection industry. However, there is a hidden danger: the threat of occupational noise exposure. Recognizing this risk, OSHA has established rigorous standards to ensure the hearing safety of workers. Additionally, modern technology that detects sound decibels, such as sound apps for a smartphone, has become a valuable tool in monitoring and managing noise exposure.
From GWY: Our industry relies on the innovation and passion of up-and-coming engineers and tradespeople. That’s why we’re proud to be a silver-level sponsor for this year’s Student Steel Bridge Competition, hosted by the American Institute of Steel Construction. For over 30 years, the Student Steel Bridge Competition has asked college students from across the U.S. to develop a solution to a real-life engineering challenge, then go head-to-head with their designs at the national finals. This year, the GWY team got to see the finalists present their scale-model steel bridge designs at Louisiana Tech University — and watched the University of Florida take home 1st Place! Competitions like these are invaluable for novice engineers to apply their classroom knowledge to real-world problems, and also to make industry connections with potential future employers and colleagues. Take a look at some highlights from the event:
CHICAGO - The American Institute of Steel Construction’s new Sustainability Partner Program is a win for specifiers, fabricators, and--of course!--the environment.
"Few people recognize that structural steel fabricators are the key player for a project's sustainability," said AISC Director of Sustainability and Government Relations Max Puchtel. "Fabrication itself accounts for less than 8% of structural steel's cradle-to-gate carbon footprint, but a fabricator's procurement responsibility means that their upstream influence is far greater." |
