STEEL STRUCTURES
Structural design engineers occupy a central and highly specialised role in the steel construction industry. They can be engaged by anyone who requires professional advice regarding the design, rehabilitation, repair and adequacy of structures. They use their technical expertise to translate their clients’ structural concepts into reality, combining safety with economy and elegance. The world is moving toward modern steel structures from RCC structures. There is a great demand of engineers in the field of Steel structures.
