We are committed to a sustainable future for our business and industry, our people, customers, and communities.

Steelworks' dedication to excellence extends beyond their immediate operations. Their Hinuera Sheds project won the global Constructsteel Awards – Excellence in Sustainability 2024 category held in Charlotte, North Carolina, on 23rd October 2024.

This innovative initiative involved repurposing nearly 200 tons of recycled fabricated beams from a demolished building into storage sheds, showcasing the potential of steel in the circular economy.

“By addressing the challenges of damaged components, we demonstrated how recycled steel can meet design specifications and standards advancing the concept of reuse for reconstruction,” Grier said.

“This project showcases our evolution into the sustainability era and highlights how innovative solutions to recycling material can position steel as a key player in the circular economy.”
