Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Innovation, ingenuity and a sense of community within the steel construction industry were showcased on the evening of 13 October, when participants across the local steel value chain gathered to attend the highlight of the annual steel industry calendar \u2013 the 2022 Steel Awards, presented by the Southern African Institute for Steel Construction (SAISC) and held at Emperor\u2019s Palace, Gauteng.<\/p>\n

This event, which demonstrates excellence in the use of steel in construction, was the first in-person Steel Awards held since 2019, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 2022 Awards very effectively highlighted how the local steel sector has triumphed over adversity in the past two years; as well as showcasing a typically South African \u2018can-do\u2019 approach to the challenges endured during this time.<\/p>\n

The annual SAISC Steel Awards provide an opportunity for stakeholders across the industry – including engineers, fabricators, designers, architects, processors, merchants and fabricators – to present their work and be honoured for their outstanding achievements. The evening – known in the steel sector as the \u2018Oscars of the steel industry\u2019 \u2013 was an elegant gala-style gathering with a \u2018red carpet\u2019 feel and a growth-related theme this year of \u2018green shoots\u2019.<\/p>\n

Local ingenuity and commendable perseverance SAISC CEO Amanuel Gebremeskel explains: \u201cEven before the global pandemic, South Africa\u2019s steel industry had gone through a period of severe challenges. The \u2018green shoots\u2019 theme is an acknowledgement of the importance of continuing to navigate through troubled times. It is also a tribute to our much-loved former CEO, the late Paolo Trinchero, who did so much for South Africa\u2019s steel industry.<\/p>\n

He was a passionate proponent of the concept of promoting growth throughout the steel sector – or \u2018green shoots\u2019 as he put it – and that one must keep on moving forward and pushing through, even when times are tough. I know he would have been so proud of this year\u2019s entries, which are even more noteworthy because they were completed during this very difficult pandemic era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gebremeskel explains that many steel construction projects globally were stalled during the Covid pandemic, and yet members of the South African steel industry managed to drive projects through to completion.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of high-quality, truly excellent projects have been showcased at this year\u2019s annual Steel Awards, and I believe this is a testimony to our character as a nation – as well as the value which the SAISC brings to the local steel construction industry. The SAISC is one of only 6 steel institutes around the world, and has a long history as a \u2018steel sector sage\u2019: a custodian of technical knowledge, an educational resource and a trusted authority .\u201d Mining category \u2018gem\u2019 shines as overall Awards winner<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile there is tremendous merit across all of our entrants, as well as all our category winners,\u201d enthuses Gebremeskel, \u201cthe SAISC Annual Awards judges were unanimous in their praise of our overall winner – which was also the winner of the Mining category – the Benguela General Treatment Plant mining facility, aboard the \u2018Benguela Gem\u2019, the world\u2019s most advanced diamond recovery vessel. The Benguela Gem is owned by Debmarine Namibia, a 50\/50 joint venture between De Beers Group and the government of the Republic of Namibia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Benguela Gem is the product of international collaboration: designed in Norway and Poland, built in Romania and fitted out by De Beers Marine South Africa. Diamond recovery by Debmarine Namibia takes place at 90 to 150 metres below sea level. The exceptional design, fabrication and installation of the 3000 ton diamond treatment plant on the vessel was carried out ahead of schedule by local engineers and fabricators in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.<\/p>\n

Gebremeskel advises: \u201cThis project stood out in a number of different ways, and presented a first in the history of the Steel Awards: it operates off-shore, and is floating rather than being stationary and anchored – a truly distinctive applicant within the Awards categories. As a sea-faring structure, it is furthermore subject to unusual engineering loads from a naval engineering perspective.<\/p>\n

The vessel, built for De Beers Marine operations, is unique in Africa, being able to carry out the entire under-sea diamond dredging and treatment process. From the vessel arriving at the end of September 2021 with an empty deck, it sailed again in December 2021 with a fully operational mine onboard.<\/p>\n

This project was an exceptional showcase of the use and applications of steel featuring South African design, fabrication and construction for an international client.\u201d<\/p>\n

The treatment plant was nominated by designers PBA Projects and completed in collaboration with De Beers Marine and 3C Metal Belmet, Namibia and local fabricators Steel Services and Allied Industries. Additional Awards categories showcase steel sector diversity<\/p>\n

<\/a>This year\u2019s awards introduced more categories, and consequently an increased number of winning entries, than in recent years. SAISC Marketing and Management Consultant Denise Sherman explains: \u201cThe reasoning behind this was to honour a broader spectrum of Awards entrants. We wanted to cater to all possible role-players within the steel construction industry\u2019s varied landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Steel Awards Category winners are as follows: Automotive Agri-Industrial Mining Benguela Gem Treatment Plant \u2013 this project not only won the Mining category but the 2022 Steel Awards overall (see above).<\/p>\n

Residential Sports Facilities Sculptural \/ Architectural Light Steel Frame (LSF) Building Metal Cladding and Roofing Tubular Steel Community Enrichment Regional Awards<\/p>\n

Best Project Limpopo: The project, carried out for the Freshmark distribution centre in Polokwane, made use of particularly innovative cladding: atypical of a warehouse building, and technically challenging to achieve. The result was aesthetically pleasing, with a design element of curved bullnoses from roof to cladding.<\/p>\n

Best Export Project: Biological oxidation (\u2018Biox\u2019) is a technology that ensures the optimal processing of high sulphur gold ore, thereby increasing the achievable gold recovery. This technically challenging structural framing project entailed detailing, fabricating and constructing a gold processing Biox plant. The primary objective thereof was to provide access to the various areas of the Biox plant \u2013 and to its piping support system.<\/p>\n

Focus on in-person networking Sherman adds that the 2022 Steel Awards were extremely well-attended. \u201cIn fact, this was one of the largest Awards held at a single event in recent years,\u201d she enthuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn contrast to our Awards of 2020 – which of necessity took place purely online – and our Awards of 2019, which were held across 3 venues simultaneously – namely Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban – the 2022 Steel Awards were planned from inception to take place at a single venue. This was to highlight the event\u2019s in-person networking opportunities – and emphasise the value that the constructive use of steel brings to communities and lives.\u201d Grateful thanks to sponsors<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SAISC is extremely grateful to its sponsors, who have made the event possible through their generous sponsorships. We would like to thank Safal Steel<\/a>, Bolt and Engineering<\/a>, BSi Steel<\/a>, ProRoof<\/a>, NJR Steel<\/a>, Macsteel<\/a>, Safintra South Africa<\/a>, Global Roofing Solutions<\/a>, Unica Iron and Steel<\/a>, ASTPM<\/a>, and Stewarts & Lloyds<\/a>,\u201d says Gebremeskel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, I would like to thank all the other role-players involved in putting these awards together, including the judges; Denise Sherman, our Marketing and Management Consultant; the members of the board; and all our members from outside Gauteng who have travelled to attend the Awards at their own expense. All those who have volunteered so much of their time to ensure the success of Steel Awards 2022 are indeed greatly appreciated!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is wonderful for the SAISC to have been able to host the Steel Awards in-person once again, and to see the spirit of triumph over adversity soaring high – like the steel structures of so many of our notable entries – throughout the local steel and construction industries.<\/p>\n

I believe the Institute – together with our valued Steel Awards entrants, sponsors, members and partners – has proven once again how much can be achieved across the local steel value chain when all players persevere for the continued success and sustainability of the steel industry,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n
