Due to the current situation of steel prices that have risen in line with world raw material prices due to the recovery of the global economy, world steel demand has increased after the Covid-19 outbreak. In particular, China produces and uses the most steel in the world. As a result, steel prices continued to rise.
Mr. Pongsak Haelom, Marketing Manager of Siam Yamato Steel Co., Ltd., the manufacturer of H-beam & Wide Flange for more than 25 years, commented that “Although steel prices are rising during this period and affecting construction costs, steel is still a cost-effective option for project owners. In particular, H-beam steel because it can meet the value for money very well. Whether it is the speed of construction because it can be partially assembled from the factory, the use of construction workers on the site is less, saving labor costs and being able to work spacing to reduce the risk of Covid-19 as well.”
Mr. Phongsak added that “Besides the cost-effectiveness in terms of use, the H-beam steel structure from the original building can be dismantled and assembled as a new building structure. In particular, the H-beam steel structure building is equipped with Bolted Connection system that can move the steel workpiece more conveniently and neatly. As with the construction of a modular system, it can be moved to a new location. If the steel structure does not want to be moved to assemble a new building structure, it can be dismantled and sold. Demolition is not difficult, requires a small number of workers. Moreover, it can be sold at a good price and is easy to sell because there are many sources to buy.”
“In a situation where steel prices go up, H-beam steel structures are still a cost-effective, cost-effective and infinitely valuable structural material. In addition, it is a Green Building Material that can be recycled almost 100%. It is a circular economy that can be reused. Therefore, the projects are worthwhile both in terms of investment and reducing environmental impacts as well.”Mr. Pongsak Haelom, said
