The past year has seen the steel construction industry responding to the key issues facing the widerconstruction industry. This Annual Review highlights the actions which have been taken by theAssociation to help members and specifiers to meet the increasing demands of clients, within a safeand successful operating environment.

The industry’s output has remained steady at 1.1 million tonnes and this year we are expecting acontinued period of stability. There is sometimes confusion amongst specifiers about steelwork pricesand, in order to help rectify this, BCSA has published new guidance on the factors which affect prices.

Around half of the steel construction market is single storey industrial buildings where steel’s speed,economy and long spanning capabilities justify its very high market share of around 95%. Industrialorders fell some 15% in 1999 and since then they have remained relatively stable. Manufacturingindustry may wait to see how strong the recovery is before raising investment in factories. Whereas in2000 weak factory orders were offset by a strong rise in those for warehouses, the latter suffered adownturn last year with the former making up for the fall. In 2003 manufacturing output could startto improve leading to a return to increased demand for new factory buildings.

Steel’s dominance as a framing material for multi-storey buildings continues with the latest figuresshowing a market share at nearly 70%. Demand for new offices dominates the commercial sector.Shops were second place. The decline in the value of entertainment orders continues; last year therewas a rise in schools, but a fall in hospitals, however these are expected to rise again now. Futuregrowth in the office market could be adversely affected in the short term by the current upheaval inthe media corporations and the cutbacks in major banks.

BCSA has placed health and safety at the top of its agenda for change and in March the Ministerwith responsibility for Health and Safety in Construction, Nick Raynsford MP launched our "SaferSteel Construction" programme. This is a wide package of measures, including the Safe SiteHandover Certificate, which is now gaining acceptance amongst the leading main contractors as thestandard setting requirement for the safe sites. This work continues and further new guidancedocuments will be published later this year. Health and safety is our collective responsibility.

None of us will ever forget the tragic events of 11th September leading to the destruction of theWorld Trade Center towers. The official US report published in May said: "The structural damagesustained by each of the two buildings as a result of the terrorist attacks was massive. The fact thatthe structures were able to sustain this level of damage and remain standing for an extended periodof time is remarkable and is the reason that most building occupants were able to evacuate safely."BCSA is co-operating in the reviews of the design of such tall structures covering aspects such as:means of escape, robustness, connection design and fire protection.

The Council has set a new forward looking strategy for the Association which includes renewedemphasis on industry training; improving the focus of BCSA regional meetings; continualdevelopment of BCSA’s website, www.SteelConstruction.org; development of new guides to facilitatethe introduction of EC3; new guidance on contractual issues; examination of industry terms ofpayment; a sustainability strategy and improvement of "information flow" through the supply chain.BCSA has a long standing good relationship with DTI and this has continued to bear fruit with new"Osprey" software being developed for members for document management.

The past year has seen a significant growth in Association membership and BCSA now represents allof the leading companies in the industry

The Review which follows records the many ways in which BCSA has, over the past year, representedmembers’ interests and provided them with a high level of professional service. It also illustrates themany ways in which the Association has promoted the case for steel in construction and assistedspecifiers in making full use of the skills and capabilities of members.

The provision of legal and contractual advice for members, leadership in seeking to moderniseindustry practice and liaison with Governmental and industry bodies are all undertaken on behalf ofBCSA by the Commercial and Contracts Committee.

Commencement of Payment CycleIn many contracts undertaken by BCSA Members, the payment cycle starts with work on site.Steelwork contractors, however, expend most of their costs well before site work starts: work on siteis only the end of a long process. With off-site fabrication increasing it seems odd that BCSAMembers should have to wait so long before they can even start to get paid. Integration of thesupply chain and new methods of procurement will go a long way to solving this problem, but in themeantime, and for those contracts for which supply chain integration will never be appropriate,BCSA is seeking change. The law acknowledges that construction is a special case, providing that forall but the smallest contracts, payment should be made in instalments, but there is a loophole as noprovision is made for when payment should start. BCSA feels strongly that the payment cycle shouldstart when work starts. Two cheers are due then to the JCT, whose new form of Domestic SubContract allows just that - allows, but unfortunately, does not insist.

Adjudication Review Last year, it was reported that the then Minister for Construction had considered proposals from theindustry concerning updating and improving adjudication. The work continues and looks likely tocontinue into the future: the Construction Umbrella Bodies and the Department of Trade andIndustry are soon to issue their Guidance to Adjudicators, based on those areas of concern revealedby the industry review, together with proposals regarding training of adjudicators. We awaitGovernment advice as to amendments to the Scheme for Construction Contracts. Now beingproduced is Guidance to Users of Adjudication. BCSA has been playing a leading role in the Reviewand in the drafting of its outputs.

‘Talk Ins’ and other Workshops and SeminarsA series of ‘Talk Ins’ was held over winter: informal seminars/workshops on contractual and construction lawfor individual companies or groups of companies. So popular were these that they may be offered again overnext winter. The popular Adjudication Workshop held last year was also repeated, and thanks are due tosolicitors Pinsent Curtis Biddle for this. Many Members have taken the opportunity to listen to ProfessorRudi Klein talking about ‘Construction Act Scams’ and we hope that soon he will be able to speak toMembers of BCSA on the new JCT form of Domestic Sub Contract. Among topics to be covered inforthcoming workshops will be loss and expense, and final account adjudications.

Constructors Liaison Group (CLG) and Specialist Engineering Contractors Group (SECG)CLG, which BCSA has supported from its inception, has announced that it has completed its agenda and istherefore to close at the end of June. CLG was instrumental in a number of significant advances over its 10-year life span, not least the introduction of Part II of the Housing Grants, Construction and RegenerationAct 1996 (the ‘Construction Act’), and the implementation of other recommendations arising from Sir MichaelLatham's Review, ‘Constructing the Team’. BCSA is sad to see the passing of CLG, but is looking forward tothe future as a continuing member of SECG. SECG will be taking forward those matters that are of such vitalimportance to the future not only of BCSA members, but of the wider specialist sector, among which, of course, is the work carried out over the last year by the Strategic Forum for Construction under theChairmanship of Sir John Egan.

Retentions CampaignBCSA’s retentions scheme has been extraordinarily successful in exchanging cash retentions for bonds, andMembers have benefited greatly. However, BCSA has always recognised that this is only a step on the way togetting rid of retentions altogether. We have been fully involved in, and fully behind, the CLG’s campaign toabolish retentions in the public sector and Members have continued to ask their MPs to sign the Early DayMotion laid by Claire Curtis-Thomas MP. This campaign will continue after the end of CLG.

Employment Law AssistanceWork is in hand to find ways of providing Members with specialist help on employment law, to run alongsidethe free Helpline on QS matters provided by Cyril Sweett & Co.

One of BCSA’s main objectives is to provide support and leadership to its member companies, to thewider constructional steelwork sector and the construction industry as a whole. The area of‘technical activity’ is at the heart of this function, and the paragraphs below describe some of theareas addressed during the past year and others that are of continuing importance.

Technical ActivityThe primary vehicle for addressing technical issues and the detailed technical needs and concerns ofits member companies is through BCSA’s Process & Technical Committee, which focuses on technicaland process-related issues. In addition to the main committee, working groups have continued duringthe past year to cover issues being raised by member companies or to deal with issues that havesignificant importance to steelwork construction. These working groups, consisting of membercompany representatives, address many and diverse issues and comprise:■ CNC Users Group - forum for companies with CNC machinery■ Connections Group - input to the sector wide group■ EPA Group - implementation of the Environmental Protection Act■ Health & Safety Group - considering H&S and CDM issues■ Bridgework Conference

The normal committee timetable means that the Process & Technical Committee has held threemeetings during the past year. The range of topics discussed continues to grow in extent and variety,and has included issues such as:■ BS 5950 - Parts 1 & 2 (Amendments to each have been published during this past year)■ Continuing debate on BS 6399-2 Wind Loading, and the provision of application rules and a

guidance document following the formal withdrawal of CP3■ EC3 (Conversion from ENV to EN) - influencing the process of conversion, and developing a

strategy for implementation and provision of guidance and handbooks■ Issues following the destruction of the World Trade Centre■ Health and Safety■ National Structural Steelwork Specification 4th Edition■ A new Handbook of Structural Steelwork■ Disproportionate Collapse and the Proposed Revisions to the Building Regulations■ Fire■ Galvanizing - development of best practice guidance■ Materials - brittle fracture■ Materials - types of structural hollow sections and their respective properties/use.

Bridgework Conference This Group comprises member companies specialising in steelwork for bridges, with representativesfrom Corus Group plc and from invited ’bridge-owning’ clients such as the Highways Agency, andprovides a forum for discussion of the particular issues facing bridge steelwork contractors. Recentactivity has included further development and promotion of the Register of Qualified SteelworkContractors for Bridgeworks, the drafting of an updated ‘Steel Bridges’ book, and the planning of abridge seminar to launch this publication towards the end of 2002.

Health & SafetyDealing with H&S issues, and providing guidance and support to BCSA member companies hasdemanded an increased emphasis during this past year; indeed H&S was made the major issue of thecurrent BCSA President for his term of office. Major topics being addressed include:■ Development of the ‘Safe Site Handover Certificate’■ The launch of the ‘Safer Steel Construction’ programme by the Rt Hon Nick Raynsford MP,

Minister of State■ Developing relations with HSE on safety during site erection of primary steelwork and decking,

and on vibration and noise regulations■ Working with the Major Contractors Group, ECITB and CSCS towards the provision of a

‘steelwork erector’s card’, and measures of competence and H&S knowledge■ Working with a world-wide major contracting company to provide best practice guidance based

on removing or reducing risk through delivering ‘men off steel’ (wherever possible) during primarysteelwork and decking erection

UK Codes and Standards and EurocodesIt is essential for the steel construction industry to be appropriately represented on the committeesresponsible for formulating British and European codes and standards, in order to shape andinfluence the drafting of new codes and the maintenance of existing ones.

In this past year, six parts of EC3 (the steel design Eurocode) have progressed to ‘informal vote’stage, and the Guidance Paper on the Implementation of Eurocodes has progressed through severaldrafts to its final form, published in the first few months of 2002. The work on the implementationof these documents has to ‘change up a gear’ during this coming year, and a massive resource will beneeded for the development of guidance documents, handbooks, worked examples and software.

For these reasons, BCSA continues to be represented on some 70 BSI and European technicalcommittees, and strives to maintain practical UK influence on the ‘standards’ processes; thisrepresentation is provided by BCSA Head Office staff and individuals from member companies.

LiaisonBCSA maintains close liaison with other organisations associated with the constructional steelworkindustry in the UK, such as Corus Group plc, the Steel Construction Institute, the NationalAssociation of Steel Stockholders, and the Association of Consulting Engineers. A good rapport hasbeen established with Government Departments and Agencies, including the Highways Agency andthe Department of Trade and Industry. In Europe, BCSA is the UK’s representative body on theEuropean Convention for Constructional Steelwork.

Information DisseminationDissemination of relevant and important technical information and developments is achieved throughpublications, presentations, reporting to BCSA regional meetings, a weekly post-bag to members,“New Steel Construction” and courses and seminars. BCSA staff and member companyrepresentatives have lectured on ‘external’ courses to promote the greater adoption of structuralsteelwork and an understanding of technical issues relating to steelwork design, fabrication anderection.

Advisory ServicesFinally, the ‘external’ face of BCSA to the industry is often in the form of technical advice andsupport, which is available to member companies, clients, specifiers, designers and contractors alike.Response to specific queries is given, where possible, by BCSA staff, but where further assistance isnecessary alternative sources of information are recommended, such as the complementary advisoryservices run by Corus Construction Centre and the Steel Construction Institute.

Over the last year, recognising the increasing impact of communications and information systems (CIS)technology, BCSA has directed substantial effort towards the provision and use of CIS in support of thesector. This has showed itself in the continued development of the BCSA website. Using similartechnology and software, a new Information Management System has been developed throughprototyping to a full operational system. With competition increasing improvements in the efficiencyof steelwork construction companies and processes are essential to maintaining the strength of thesector, the construction industry and the nation.

The BCSA New Generation WebsiteDevelopment of the BCSA Website, www.steelconstruction.org, has continued; the user interface hasbeen modified to reflect comments from users, and the arrangement of facilities and data has beenrationalised to improve the utility of the site. Although new data is added to the site as a matter ofroutine, uploading the wealth of earlier but still useful reference information is a continuing task.Nevertheless, it is evident from the steadily increasing use made of the website by BCSA membercompanies, others in the steel construction supply chain and the wider general public, that the siteserves an important function for the sector and provides a very useful window showing the many facetsand skills of the steel construction companies.

Osprey Information Management SystemOver recent years, the steel construction sector has increased its use of office technology, with aconsequent marked increase in digital data files and storage requirements. With backing from the DTI,BCSA initiated a project to prototype an Intranet-based Information Management System (IMS) tomeet the sector’s office data management requirements. Following the successful establishment of theprototype the system was developed into operational IMS. The original three companies that housedprototype installations were joined by two more to provide a development base for the full system.The system itself, named "Osprey" , was launched at the BCSA National Meeting on 5 March.

Although some system customisation is possible, the standard system offers security, low cost and easeof use with minimum training. It is broad-based to support the needs of different companies and theirdifferent office procedures, but remains technically current by using Intranet technology and other non-proprietary shareware. "Osprey" is designed primarily to support the steel construction sectorcompanies. However, the system design is such that it could be adapted readily to support othersectors and/or industries if required to do so.

Supply Chain NetworkingTo help promote dialogue and understanding between specifiers, suppliers and steelwork contractors,BCSA hosted a workshop entitled Graduate Development in Construction on 14 November. The objective of the all-day workshop was to provide a forum for tomorrow’s leaders to express theirviews on the way the steel construction sector works and how their future needs could be met.

Invitations were sent to a variety of clients, architects, consultants, QSs, contractors and steelworkcontractors, together with Corus, representing the steel suppliers. Those invited were asked tonominate representatives under 30 years of age, so that the workshop would reflect the viewpoints ofthe sector in the late 20th and early 21st Century. In the event, 22 of the Sector’s future decisionmakers attended the event. All attendees were given the opportunity to make a 10-minute presentationon one of 10 pre-selected topics, or on another relevant subject of their own choice. 12 presentationswere given, all of which showed a professional approach to the subject, and provided very stimulatingintroductions to the animated discussions that followed. It was evident that the Sector holds muchenergetic and thoughtful young talent, with firm views on many facets of its work. Furthermore,though a few of the young professionals did know one another, for the majority, the interaction wasbetween their newly-met peers of allied or competing companies. All present agreed the value of suchworkshop sessions, and recommended that future events should focus on specific relevant sector topics,eg fire design or health and safety.

Update of Key Steelwork Construction PublicationsThroughout the year, the task of updating four of the constructional steelwork sector’s key publicationshas continued. The first of these to be completed was the third edition of the Handbook of StructuralSteelwork – the ‘Red Book’. The new edition was published early in 2002, and reflects the changes inthe new BS 5950-1.

A fourth edition of the National Structural Steelwork Specification (NSSS) – the ‘Black Book’ has beenpublished. It incorporates changes brought about by the new versions of BS 5950-1 and BS 5950-2.

A new version of the Commentary on the NSSS, the ‘Grey Book’, is in preparation and together withthe fourth publication - Structural Fasteners and their Application – will be published later this year.

Marketing the capabilities and achievements of the steelwork contracting industry and also theactivities of the Association are vital and growing areas of activity.

Industry StatisticsThe Association regularly collects authoritative statistics from member companies to establish priceand delivery trends throughout the industry. Statistics are also collected for Cancellation andDaywork Charges, and on State of Trade.

PromotionThe sixth edition of the Directory for Specifiers and Buyers was published in the spring of 2002 andhas been direct mailed to 10,000 clients, architects, engineers etc. The aim of the Directory is topromote the capabilities of member companies and also the advantages of steel in construction.

A joint BCSA/Corus supplement, "Steel Construction News", is inserted into "The StructuralEngineer" magazine. Each issue is distributed to 26,000 structural designers.

The Association’s magazine, "New Steel Construction", is published jointly with SCI and is mailed to7,000 named individuals bi-monthly.

The Association continues to produce its popular BCSA desk diary, which incorporates the NationalStructural Steelwork Specification for Building Construction, safe load tables, etc.

BCSA’s website, www.SteelConstruction.org, is used regularly by specifiers to find information aboutmember companies and steel construction related topics, and is being developed continually andenhanced. The site has a powerful search mechanism that can find detailed information aboutcompanies. For example, a specifier might type "portal frames" or "intumescent" or "beams" or"software" and the search mechanism will bring up those companies that include the word or wordsin their company descriptions. Similarly, if a specifier is looking for a company in, say, "Bristol",those companies with Bristol in their address will come up from a search.

Notes(1)Contracts which are primarily steelwork but which may include

associated works. The steelwork contract value for which a companyis pre-qualified under the Scheme is intended to give guidance on thesize of steelwork contract that can be undertaken; where a project lasts

longer than a year, the value is the proportion of the steelwork contractto be undertaken within a 12 month period.Where an asterisk (*) appears against any company’s classificationnumber, this indicates that the assets required for this classification levelare those of the parent company.

BUILDINGS SCHEME

Applicants may be registered in one or more categories to undertake the fabrication and the responsibility for any design and erection of:

A special section of the Register has been developed to cover bridgeworks. The Highways Agencynow includes in its tender documentation a requirement that only firms listed on the Register ofQualified Steelwork Contractors for the type and value of work to be undertaken will be employedfor the fabrication and erection of bridgeworks.

Companies wishing to be registered in the Bridgework Category but who do not possess suitablycomplete bridgework experience may be registered as unclassified companies. Unclassified companiescannot be awarded subcategories that classify their capabilities. Such companies will need to fulfil allthe requirements set out below, but where the rules are marked ** they may use contracts ofcomparable complexity for steelwork other than bridgework.

In order to be registered in the Bridgework Category, a company must have a minimum turnover insteelwork for bridges** of £1 million in the most recent year or alternatively per annum if averagedover the last three years.

The company must present references for completed supply and erect contracts that include at leastsix bridgework** contracts undertaken over the last five years, of which two must each exceed£100,000 contract value completed within the last three years.

The company's track record and the company's systems, existing facilities and employed personnelwill be used to establish its capability.

■ The track record will be based principally on the two £100,000 contracts. If necessary in additionother contract references of comparable complexity (but not necessarily of £100,000 value or asrecent) can be used.

■ The contracts can have been undertaken with sublet erection, but must have been either forbridges** exceeding 20m span, or for mechanically operated moving bridges. One contract mustinvolve the application of multi-coat treatment, which may have been sublet.

■ The end-user clients, who must be different for the two contracts, will may contacted to establishtheir satisfaction with the work on the contracts.

■ The company must have manufactured in-house at least 75% of the steelwork for each of the twocontracts. Both contracts must have required materials and workmanship to BS 5400-6**. One ofthe contracts must have required thick plate welding such as the butt welding of S355J2 plate in athickness of at least 40 mm.

■ The company will need to demonstrate that it has erected a bridge** of at least 30m span overwater, and a bridge** that involved the use of a railway possession.

■ The company's quality system must be independently certified to meet the requirements of BS ENISO 9001 with a scope of registration that includes steel bridges**.

■ The company must have the ability undercover in its own works to lift a single piece of 20 tonnesusing EOT cranes singly or in tandem. The company must be able to demonstrate that it has theability to undertake trial assembly of large pieces post-fabrication and prior to despatch.

■ The company must employ at least one suitably competent person with clearly designated tasksand responsibility in each of three key management disciplines: technical/design, welding anderection methods. – The technical/design manager should have appropriate specialised technical knowledge relevant

to the assigned tasks, and at least five years’ steel bridge construction engineering experience.Note: In terms of knowledge, an individual with Chartered/Incorporated membership of one of the ICE, IStructE or IMechE would be appropriate.

– The manager of welding coordination should have appropriate specialised technical knowledgerelevant to the assigned tasks, and at least five years’ experience in the execution of steelwork.Note: In terms of knowledge, a welding specialist with specific knowledge to BS EN 719, or with the qualification of European Welding Technologist, or with individualChartered/Incorporated membership of the Welding Institute would be appropriate.

– The manager in charge of erection methods should have a knowledge of the CDM and CHSWRegulations, and be able to produce a copy of the erection method statement that he/she hasauthored for used on a complex contract.

■ The company must employ welders with suitable approvals.

The Scheme continued to provide quality assurance systems surveillance services to all its clientsthroughout 2001 with all of the programmed re-assessments completed on time.

The Scheme’s scope was extended with the first certification assessment of the environmentalmanagement systems operated by Barrett Steel Buildings Ltd and Robinson Construction. Thecertification assessment process has commenced for William Hare Ltd. Other SCCS clients haveconfirmed their interest in gaining certification for their environmental management systems and areexpected to apply for assessment during 2002.

Surveillance and re-assessment of QA Systems have been performed against the requirements of ISO9001/2:1994 and/or ISO 9001:2000 by agreement with each certified company. The Scheme willcontinue to assess against ISO 9001 or 9002:1994 until 1 January 2003, after which it will use onlyISO 9001:2000. A new Guideline has been developed to act as a reference point for structuralsteelwork organisations as they revise their QA System policy and procedures. This documentreplaces SCQAS Schedules CSQS 101 and CSQS 202.

The Scheme’s Steering Group, initially convened to assist with the development of the EMScertification services, extended its scope towards a similar service for Occupational Health & Safetysystems certification. This work resulted in the development of a draft Guidance Note (GN606).

The Major Contractors’ Group’s demands for the verifiable qualification of steelwork contractorspersonnel on the erection sites have increased interest for an OH&S System certification service. TheScheme will soon publish Guidance Note GN606 for use during development of overall Contractplanning and Works bases systems for subsequent certification assessment.

The development work undertaken during 2001 will underpin the Scheme’s future workload in thecertification and surveillance of quality assurance, environmental management plus occupationalhealth & safety systems operated by structural steelwork contracting organisations.
