Free Webinar on Sustainable Steel to be Held on May 11
Steel can play a vital and cost-effective role in replacing America’s aging bridge infrastructure, and a free one-hour webinar will explore sustainable steel options for solving a top national priority identified by the Biden administration. The webinar, “Building a Sustainable Infrastructure with Short Span Steel Bridges,” will be presented by three industry experts and held on Tuesday, May 11 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. EST. It will be hosted by the Short Span Steel Bridge Alliance (SSSBA), American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and American Galvanizers Association (AGA). Registration details are available here.
“Bridges provide vital links in the nation’s infrastructure network. Yet, more than 220,000 of them, representing 36 percent of the national bridge inventory, need major repair work or replacement,” said Kevin Dempsey, AISI President and CEO. “With new innovative materials, designs and protection systems available today, the American steel industry is well positioned to build bridges that will last well into the next century, and possibly beyond. We don’t need to wait—there are sustainable solutions that are ready to implement right now.”
