🛎 Speaker announcement! We are very excited to announce Mr. Scott Norris, P. Eng. , Director of Engineering Solutions of Steelcon Group of Companies, will be joining this #2nd #Global #Steel #Sustainability Summit 2025, scheduled to be held on #February 26-27 in #Frankfurt with a keynote speech themed" Future Challenges and Potential Solutions in the #Transition to #Electric #Arc #Furnace #Steelmaking" 🌏 Speech abastract: 🥇 The global steel industry is undergoing a major shift as Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking gains prominence in response to sustainability targets. However, this transition is not without potential challenges. This presentation will explore key hurdles associated with mass integration of EAF infrastructure, focusing on: energy grid variability, the future availability of scrap, and the quality of iron ore needed for effective EAF operations. 🥈 The dependence on differing energy grids raises concerns about the carbon intensity of the power generation assets between regions. Additionally, as the demand for scrap intensifies, questions arise regarding future supply constraints and recycling efficiency. Furthermore, iron ore used in EAF processes requires increasingly stringent specifications, and ensuring a high-quality feedstock remains a pressing issue. 🥉 This presentation will also delve into exploring the emerging solutions aimed at overcoming these challenges. Iron ore beneficiation and iron purification processes will be discussed, alongside innovative methods that offer intriguing potential for transforming iron production. ✉ Contact: marketing@apexevents.cn Speaker Bio: 👇 Scott, a prominent figure in the Canadian structural steel industry, brings 17 years of experience in designing and executing large-scale steel projects, particularly in the transit and institutional sectors.

The Best of Both Worlds! We’re proud to be part of the Prologis Evergreen project, North America’s first mass timber-constructed warehouse, where the strength of steel meets the sustainability of wood. This groundbreaking project combines the efficiency of Steelcon’s SIN Beam technology with the natural beauty of cross-laminated timber (CLT). Our innovative use of SIN Beam, paired with steel drag strap plates, provides critical lateral support by seamlessly transferring forces from the CLT deck to the steel bracing system. This advanced design enhances the overall stability of the frame while allowing the materials to work in perfect harmony. This project is a true testament to the power of collaboration between steel, timber, and precast trades. By combining each material’s unique strengths, we’ve created a structure that’s not only strong and stable but also architecturally stunning. #Steelcon #Engineering #SteelFabrication #JoistFabrication #SteelErection #MiscMetals #MetalDeck #StructuralSteel #SINBeam #SteelConstruction #Construction #SteelInnovation #SustainableConstruction #MassTimber #ModernConstruction #GreenBuilding #Teamwork

Steelcon is proud to be delivering the structural steel scope of work on this important project that is part of the Government of Ontario’s plan to fix long-term care, address sector waitlists, and ensure that seniors are able to receive the care they need within the communities they helped build.
