Re-use of structural steel within construction

项目团队由Ellis and Moore、Cleveland Steel and Tubes、钢结构研究所和Cullinan工作室组成，由可持续建筑产品联盟领导。全国拆迁承包商联合会、伦敦大学学院可持续资源研究所和剑桥大学都提供了专业知识。它的目标是克服钢铁再利用的障碍，并在五到十年内启动一个每年2.5万吨的市场，占目前英国废钢的10%，价值1250万英镑。钢材再利用对新钢材的影响为4% (BRE: 2004)，提供成本效益和创造就业机会。循环经济原则表明，建筑不再是最终产品。相反，建筑环境可以被视为产品的滚动基础设施；这就需要一种新的建筑设计方法。通过首先为解构和再利用而设计，建筑师、工程师和解构/打捞专家之间的沟通至关重要；目前，它们处于线性供应链的两端。该项目将制定一个价值网络计划来解决这个问题，并为克利夫兰钢管公司和ASBP公司在这个新市场上的运营开发商业模式。

The project team is Ellis and Moore, Cleveland Steel and Tubes, Steel Construction Institute and Cullinan Studio, led by the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products. The National Federation of Demolition Contractors, UCL Institute of Sustainable Resources and University of Cambridge have all offered expertise. It aims to overcome barriers to steel re-use and kick-start a market in five to ten years of 25kT per year, 10% of current UK scrap arising, with a value of £12.5m. Steel re-use has 4% impact of new steel (BRE: 2004), offers cost benefits and job creation. Circular economy principles indicates the building is no longer the end product. Instead, the built environment can be viewed as a rolling infrastructure of products; this demands a new approach to the design of buildings. By designing first for deconstruction and re-use, it is essential that architects, engineers and deconstruction/ salvage experts communicate; currently they are at either end of a linear supply chain. This project will develop a plan for a value network to address this and develop business models for Cleveland Steel and Tubes and ASBP to operate in this new market.
