This webinar demonstrates the business benefits and sustainability implications of utilising duplex stainless steel in construction.
With a prospected 125 years of very low or maintenance-free life, and the consequent reduced demand for composite materials, the selective use of duplex stainless steel can reduce costs to the whole life of a project, thus offering a more sustainable design and construction option than commonly expected.
Drawing on their experience, industry professionals share case studies projects aimed at showcasing the top attributes and the best practices associated with duplex stainless steel, and explore how to overcome common challenges associated with the implementation of this family of stainless steel.
-
