Infrastructure Projects Worldwide Depend on Steel Manufacture and Delivery


Enormous projects worldwide, including those in emerging economies like those of Brazil, India, and China, are undertaking infrastructure projects that require materials including ASME structural steel. Suppliers must speak the language of infrastructure engineers in order to meet project needs efficiently. At Corpac Steel Products, our ASME structural steelcan be delivered to your project wherever you're located on the globe.

Commercial and Industrial Buildings
Growth in urban areas is resource intensive and concrete and steel are the two main building materials in demand for commercial and industrial structures. Engineers and contractors have to be confident that the I-beams, hollow structural sections, C-cross sections, and open web steel joints they require will be ready to go as soon as the project demands. This requires the structural steel supplier to have a strong network of mills and freight forwarders to meet demand.

Land Infrastructure Projects
Rail and highway infrastructure projects require massive quantities of steel, and often these products must be "last mile" delivered in challenging conditions. After all, these projects may bring transportation networks to places they've never been before. Choosing a steel supplier with extensive logistics experience is critical to ensuring that projects proceed on schedule and within budgets. Not only must the product be right, the delivery has to be right as well.

Water Infrastructure Projects
Harbor berths and seawalls require structural pipe, and these products must withstand environmental conditions that are harsh. Specific steel formulations are available to work in demanding water environments, including salt water environments. When your steel supplier has experience supplying water infrastructure projects, they can tap their worldwide network of manufacturers to ensure timely delivery while helping you keep costs under control.

Petroleum Exploration
Many new potential oil and gas fields have been found in recent years, and they're located everywhere from the Russian Arctic to the tropical waters off the coast of South America. Petroleum exploration and drilling are structural steel-intensive industries, due to the demands of the rigs, the drill pipes, and transport pipelines associated with them. At Corpac Steel Products, we have the experience that those in the petroleum, land, or water infrastructure sectors require to carry out their projects successfully.
