British Steel has further enhanced its offering to the construction sector by extending its range of Advance® structural sections. Manufactured in the UK to carefully controlled standards, the Advance structural sections range provides greater design flexibility due to the inclusion of often difficult-to-find intermediary dimensions. The range has been extended by 71 additional beams and columns and is available in both standard grades and in British Steel’s premium S460M and weathering steel grades. Initially developed to reflect structural design practice for CE-marked structural sections compliant with EU regulations, our new Advance range is also UKCA-marked in compliance with UK regulations on construction products. British Steel started manufacturing weathering steel structural sections a little over a year ago. Self-protecting, durable and attractive, weathering steel is ideal for a whole range of outdoor structures in exposed locations including bridges, buildings and catenary gantries on railway lines. The steel’s corrosion rate is so low that structures fabricated from unpainted weathering steel can achieve long lifespans – in some cases up to 120 years – with only minimal maintenance. British Steel’s high-strength structural steel grade, S460M, is designed for use in multi-storey and high-rise buildings, as well as a wide range of other commercial and industrial uses. It provides the optimum balance between cost and weight, along with improved environmental performance.
