Structural stainless steel is increasingly used across various applications in the built environment due to its high performance, sustainability, and resilience. This webinar will explore a range of structural stainless steel applications, highlighting project examples that demonstrate its versatility. Attendees will learn about the unique properties of stainless steel compared to carbon steel and gain an introduction to designing structural stainless steel members and connections, with insights from Australian, European, and US design practices. Presenter: Nancy Baddoo Nancy Baddoo is an Associate Director at The Steel Construction Institute (SCI) in the UK and a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers. With over 35 years of experience, she has led numerous research projects on the structural performance of stainless steel and has shared her expertise worldwide through publications and seminars. For the past 13 years, Nancy has chaired the European technical committee for the stainless steel Eurocode (EN 1993-1-4). She also contributed significantly to drafting AISC 370-21, the Specification for Structural Stainless Steel Buildings, and is an active member of the AISC Committee on Structural Stainless Steel. Nancy co-authored both editions of AISC Design Guide 27, Structural Stainless Steel. This webinar is presented in collaboration with the Nickel Institute , bringing together expertise and insights into the industry.

Join our webinar: Stainless steels for the renewable industries Stainless steel plays a key role in renewable energy projects due to its diverse properties, durability, ease of maintenance, and routine recyclability. This webinar offers a brief overview of where stainless steels fit in renewable energy applications and relevant techniques. A primary goal in the renewable sector is reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2 and methane, in a cost-effective manner without depleting scarce resources. Renewable energy sources include: 🌖 Tidal energy: Harnessing the moon’s gravitational pull on oceans, providing an inexhaustible power source. ☀️ Solar energy: Generating electricity directly through photovoltaics or concentrating sunlight. 🌊 Hydropower: Utilizing water relocated by evaporation, alongside wind and wave power – provided corrosion is controlled. 🌳 Biofuels: Using plants and waste for ethanol or biodiesel production, which can delay CO2 emissions but poses corrosion challenges for lower alloys. 🌋 Geothermal energy: Tapping into the Earth's heat, not just in volcanic areas, but for widespread industrial and domestic use. Lastly, the webinar will touch on carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, highlighting the range of alloys used, from carbon steel to high-grade stainless and nickel alloys, with a reference to the new AMPP/NACE standards.

Congratulations to Mark Owen , Andrew Owen , Christopher Vella and the team at Pure Piping for winning the ASSDA #StainlessSteel Fabricator Project of the Year Award 2024 in the Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical category! 'Project Resilience,' Australia’s first large-scale mRNA research hub and vaccine manufacturing facility, will produce up to 100 million vaccine doses annually, including COVID-19 boosters and vaccines for respiratory viruses like influenza and RSV. Pure Piping was engaged to deliver the mechanical pipework and electrical scope, covering design, procurement, installation, pressure testing, passivation, and commissioning. Stainless steel was chosen for its corrosion resistance, durability, and suitability for high-purity pharmaceutical environments, ensuring the facility meets stringent GMP standards. The ASSDA Awards were presented last week on Wednesday 16 October at Blackbird Brisbane, as part of #PacRimStainless2024 , celebrating the exceptional quality and excellence in local stainless steel design, fabrication and delivery.

Congratulations to Matt Taylor , Michelle Davis and the team at Total Piping & Mechanical for winning the ASSDA #StainlessSteel Fabricator Project of the Year Award 2024 in the Process Industries category! The Gisborne Recycled Water Plant Upgrade in Victoria enhances wastewater treatment capacity for the Gisborne and New Gisborne townships, accommodating an average dry weather flow (ADWF) of 5.57 ML/day. TPM executed the mechanical works, installing critical equipment, including seven blowers, aeration pipework, and a centrifuge unit, all using stainless steel. The upgrade also featured advanced chemical dosing systems, an odour control unit, compressed air systems, and a UV treatment system. Precise staging ensured operational continuity in the live brownfield environment while meeting discharge license requirements.
