I
t has been a privilege to be the Chairman of the Southern African
Institute of Steel Construction for the last two years. The second
year was a difficult year for the industry triggered by the global
financial crisis resulting in a significant downturn in local and region-
al work for many sectors of the industry. The reduction in funding
from the major stakeholders in the industry had to be taken
account of in the projects undertaken by the SAISC and in its future
planning. The small to medium fabricator members and some of
the professional members have been particularly badly hit during
this year. This is in sharp contrast to the earlier year when many of
the sectors in the local steel construction industry were probably
the busiest that they had ever been.
An encouraging characteristic of the steel construction industry in
both years has been the strong and ongoing investment in training,
new and extended world class steel fabrication facilities and equip-
ment, detailing capability and resources, training of new and exist-
ing staff at all levels and in all disciplines, and a strong commitment
to health and safety. The considerable effort the Institute dedicated
towards informing government departments, clients and others
about the capabilities and resources of the local industry, as well as
positioning the industry and its members correctly with respect to
large projects has been rewarding. The efforts of the ISF have been
strongly supported by the members and this positions the industry
well with respect to exports in the future. SASFA and its members
and stakeholders have been hard at work developing and expand-
ing the light steel frame building market regionally.
Sustainability is increasingly recognised as a key factor in choosing
construction materials and methods what better material than
steel?
The most noticeable characteristic of the SAISC these last two years
has been the high levels of activity, energy and motivation of the staff,
consultants and Executive Director of the Institute a valuable asset
for all in the steel industry. Over many years the industry has felt con-
strained by the number of skilled people available to the industry at
different levels. The SAISC has passionately tackled this constraint over
the years and during the last year, despite reduced levels of funding,
training more engineers, technicians and designers than ever before.
During the past year the SAISC
has continued to train estima-
tors, while the SAISC/DSE
School of Draughting has grad-
uated its first class of skilled
steel detail draughtsmen for
the sponsoring companies.
Reacting to the shortage and
age profile of skilled structural engineering professionals another
first was achieved this year when the SAISC embarked on an inten-
sive course to equip young engineers with the skills necessary for
the design of structures for industry (buildings, industrial process-
ing plant and mining structures). Besides the formal courses, SAISC
arranged educational and informative breakfast talks, seminars and
contact with local and international speakers. These talks covered a
range of interests from industry issues, through architecture, to the
design of the 2010 World Cup stadiums.

The members of the committees that contribute to the work of the

Institute have been effective and made a great contribution to the
success of the Institute during the period under review. Id like to
thank everyone for the time that they have spent, for their commit-
ment and for their contribution to the industry during the period.

Looking forward, the long term future of the industry is dependent

on the underlying demand generated from local, regional and inter-
national projects. The members of the SAISC are well positioned to
respond quickly to economic recovery locally and internationally.
They are agile, skilled and well equipped at all levels. Steel construc-
tion is particularly suited to a fast response to the needs of the
economy. The SAISC is dedicated to playing a strong role in support-
ing the industry. Im confident that the local steel construction
industry is equipped and positioned for the challenges it will face in Q: What did Adam find

MESSAGE
In my message in last years Annual
Report I referred to how the amazing
levels of demand experienced during
the earlier part of 2008 were petering
out and I wondered how things would
pan out in the coming year.

n my message in last years Annual Report I referred to how the
amazing levels of demand experienced during the earlier part of
2008 were petering out and I wondered how things would pan
out in the coming year. I also referred to how companies in the
industry had invested in creating new capacity and capabilities,
and remarked that this made the work of the Institute in
promoting the use of South African steel easier.
A year down the line we know that the world is still in the throes
of economic recession. The large companies dont really feel the
impact so severely, because they are engaged in large projects.
Smaller companies, however, experience tight market conditions.
But what stands unaltered is that this steel construction industry
is an industry we feel proud of and want to promote, come what
may. And two things stand out in how we see this task: protect
the local market for structural steelwork by ensuring that clients
and decision makers know that our industry can meet their needs
and wants, and promote exports.
Both these tasks received a lot of dedicated attention this year,
and this will continue in future. We also spent much effort on
education and training, since manpower development is such an
important part of building our industry.
We report on a lot of issues and activities in this report; it was sure-
ly a busy year. But however hard we may have worked, the question
remains: did we make a difference? Well, I believe sincerely that, tak-
ing all the activities of the SAISC together, we are pursuing strategies
that are in line with our vision and mission, as stated on the facing
page. And we are effective.

eveloping the skills of people at all levels in the steel
construction industry is probably the most important thing
we can do for the long term prosperity of the industry.
Steel construction and other segments of the construction industry
differ from virtually every other industry in that each project one
gets involved in tends to be unique. Furthermore, each project has
to be designed and planned in offices, fabricated in a workshop, and
constructed on a site three very different phases requiring quite
diverse skills, some of which quite specialised and intellectually
demanding. Thus the industry is rather skills intensive and it needs
to be continuously engaged in skills development.
The SAISC dedicated much of its energies and resources to educa-
tion and training in 2009. Much of the effort was directed at the
people who are engaged in the design process which is so impor-
tant to steel construction. If designers are not skilled to the point
where they find it easy and exciting to work with a product or mate-
rial, they will tend to shy away from it and what they produce will
most probably not be very good. But we also gave serious attention
to draughtsmen, people running aspects of steelwork contracting
companies, and people working on the shop floor.
During the year the SAISC ran the following courses aimed at
designers of steel structures, all of which qualified for CPD points
in terms of the requirements of the Engineering Council of South
Africa, and typically about two to three days long:
j Design of light industrial buildings
j Design of heavy industrial buildings (buildings supporting
overhead travelling cranes)
j Protection against corrosion and fire protection
j Design of structures for conveyors and chutes
j Best Practice in Structural Steelwork Projects
j Basics of Structural Steel
The Best Practice course was aimed at designers, project man-
agers and steelwork contractors, and had the intent to bring all
elements of the industry into alignment, using the same

documents, procedures and standards. The Basics of Structural
Steel, targeted a much wider audience including anybody who is
either technically or commercially associated with steel and aimed
to give them a background regarding where steel comes from and
how it can be treated and modified to serve a specific purpose.

An innovation was to offer a course lasting six weeks, aimed at

young graduates and dealing with all aspects of the design of steel
structures. The course included attendance of all the short courses
listed above, as well as time to work in a tutorial mode under the
supervision of an experienced engineer. The experiment was cer-
tainly useful and there can be no question about the fact that the
participants learned a lot, but so did we as the organisers of the
course. The most important lesson was that such a class has to con-
sist of people with a very similar background, and that there has to
be the right balance between the amount of information given to
them and the amount of work done by them.

We continue to be very proud of the SAISC/DSE School of

Draughting and about what it achieves. At the beginning of the year
the school reached its capacity of 42 students, and the first group
graduated from the school in October 2009. The school has two
very able and highly dedicated teachers, while a number of visiting
lecturers present specialised subjects. The results are outstanding. When they say:

students and lecturers from four universities got further encour-
agement to be interested in steel through the 'New Generation'
sponsorship awarded by Cadex SA, which enabled them not only
to attend the Steel Awards function but also to participate in an
entire day being exposed to different aspects of the steel con-
struction industry.

The Institute's bursary scheme for university undergraduates was

continued this year, with seven students being funded by it. The
long term benefits of the scheme are often brought to our atten-
tion when we run into mature engineers in decision making posi-
tions who were beneficiaries of it.

We have also continued offering a 'steel awareness' course to

engineering and architecture students at various universities, but
the most important contribution to the formal education of engi-
neers was Dr Leroy Gardner of Imperial College, London, whose
visit to South Africa was funded by the SAISC. He presented grad-

Town, and also spoke to some public audiences.

Also under the umbrella of assistance to universities is the fact

that the Institute sponsors post graduate research at various uni-
versities. Such support is given on the basis of proper motivations
submitted by the research leaders, who also have to report their
work and findings to us. Some of the research of the past year is
likely to have a real impact on how structures are designed, but
we still believe that the best return on the investment is obtained
from the fact that young engineers and their professors spend
many months thinking about nothing else than steel structures.

Another educational project of the Institute has born its first fruit
during the year, namely our scheme for the training of structural
steel assemblers. Two member companies of the Institute, Tass
Engineering and Omni Struct Nkosi, have put a number of their
young people from the shop floor through our assemblers train-
ing course, an in-house training programme. The results have
been excellent. To date 18 assemblers have graduated from the
scheme and they have proved to be able to fill a longstanding
need of the industry very ably. We plan to have the assembler
course recognised by SAQA as a formal qualification soon.

uch of the Institutes efforts in 2009 in the field of developing
South Africas engineering capabilities in steel construction
were dedicated to education and training, as covered
elsewhere in this report.
An important decision relating to steel qualities was to increase the
yield stress of structural hollow sections made in South Africa from
300 to 355 MPa, thus bringing these products in line with hot rolled
profiles and plate. The Association of Steel Tube and Pipe
Manufacturers conducted the tests proving that tubes meeting all the
applicable standards can be made from the higher strength steel.
The move to the new steel quality and a more inclusive range of
hollow sections prompted the reprint of the Southern African Steel
Construction Handbook to become the Seventh Edition, as the
number of changes made the term 'reprint' inapplicable. The Red
Book remains the top seller among the Institutes publications, with
about 2 700 copies disappearing from our shelves per year. The other
publications also sell well, and four now need to be reprinted, of which
two need a significant review.
Progress has been made with the redraft of SANS10237 for cladding,
while it was decided to adopt the Australian standard for the design of
cold formed sections (SANS 10162: Part 2). SANS 517, dealing with light
steel frame building and drafted by us, has been published.
The Institute receives, on average, about five requests per day for
technical information or advice. Our advisory service remains an
important part of our work towards giving engineers and others
confidence when specifying steel.
A major project for the year was the organisation of the Conference
on Structures for Mining and Related Materials Handling (SMMH 2009).
This was the first international conference on the subject. It enjoyed
participation from several countries, but made the high levels of
knowledge and expertise reached by South Africans in this field quite
apparent. Central to the conference was SANS 10208, the standard
governing the design of mining structures,

the industry are, collecting and analysing data, and
cooperating with decision makers to arrive at decisions
and policies that will be of benefit to the industry,
clients and the country alike.

It is seldom possible to claim full credit for

any positive outcome, and we readily acknowl-
edge that things almost always happen because all manner of people
make a contribution and circumstances turn out to be favourable,
but the SAISC can claim to have made a significant contribution to all
of the matters discussed in the following paragraphs.

The decision to buy local steel for the new power stations is now fully
supported by ESKOM and their major contractors. This is being mon-
itored and support is given where appropriate. The subcontracting of
work by the major steelwork contractors to others remains some-
what problematical in a number of respects. Our exercise on promot-
influencing the
business
ing structural steel for power stations is now used as a model for
other CSDP (Competitive Supplier Development Programme) initia-
tives. ESKOM has appointed dedicated managers to drive the process
and has now formed a 'Boiler Hub' as well as a 'Turbine Hub' with var-
ious 'Task Teams' appointed for specific opportunities. We are, at the
request of the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry), participating
in the CSDP feedback sessions with NIASA (Nuclear Industry

representatives of both organisations. As the mission of the Institute shifted

 purchasing processes of the various state owned enterprises. This
involves 'profiling' of industry members, ie electronically coding
members capabilities and products using standardised internation-
al systems. Participating companies should also get access to export
opportunities through the profiling exercise. In addition the 'bench-
marking' of members can be done using a modern business
approach to make comparisons with best practices worldwide and
also to facilitate continuous improvement processes at the level of
individual participants. The benchmarking essentially amounts to
getting an answer to the questions "how good are your practices?"
and "how well do you actually perform?" The answers allow placing
the company on a graph similar to that shown below.
Working committees within SAFCEC and SEIFSA, represented by the
Construction Engineering Association (CEA) with active participation
by the main contractor Murray and Roberts, have negotiated and
signed suitable project labour agreements for both the Medupi and
Kusile power stations. Work is now being done to extend this to SASOL
and PETROSA.

Empowerment in the construction industry. The DTI's Generic Codes
of Good Practice are no longer applicable to the industry. The SAISC is
collaborating with the other associations in the construction industry,
including those representing the professions as well as the unions, in
forming the Construction Sector Charter Council, the object of which
will be to promote BBBEE and put it on a firmer basis in the industry.
In May 2008 ESKOM published their 'Application of the Broad-Based
Black Economic Empowerment Codes of Good Practice within
ESKOM', based on the DTI's Codes of Good Practice which incorpo-
rated most of the Construction Sector Charter principles and for-
mats. ESKOM has now advised that a guideline combining their
ASGISA approach with the BBBEE requirements as well as local con-
tent preferences has been developed. This must now be studied
and communicated to members. The DTI and DPE (Department of
Public Enterprises) are driving this programme as part of the gov-
ernment NIPF (National Industrial Development Programme) initia-
tive with ESKOM, TRANSNET and PBMR. SASOL and PETROSA are now
also targeted.
Following the receipt of information that some 20 000 tons of steel-
work for power lines had been imported recently we formed a
'power line' task team at the SAISC where industry representatives
and ESKOM meet monthly to analyse the industry requirements and
problems and develop joint strategies towards local supply. This is
now fully supported by all the industry members as well as ESKOM
and the steel suppliers. An application is being processed to obtain
funds in terms of the DTIs Sector Specific Assistance Scheme (SSAS)
to extend the research and visit the Indian competitors.
A new Enterprise Investment Programme (EIP) was announced by
the DTI in July 2008 with the objective to assist enterprises in 'key
industries'. We alerted our members to this opportunity and provid-
ed some guidance to applicants. A number of applications were
submitted and are in process. Indications are that a number will be
successful.
With respect to imports from China and elsewhere, we have
established contact with the DTI and other authorities involved
in granting import licenses and regularly provide input. We have
also applied for the selected application of import duties.

nly three years after the creation of SASFA the light steel
frame building industry shows every sign of being firmly
established in South Africa, poised to grow and conquer a
significant share of the housing market. It is almost unbelievable,
considering how thin and light the steel members are, that some
21 000 tons of steel sheet was used in light steel frame building in
South Africa in 2009. This constitutes a 10% growth year-on-year,
which is again remarkable in view of the depressed state of the
building industry this year. About 80% of the steel was used for
trusses, the remainder for complete buildings.

One of SASFAs objectives has always been that light steel frame
buildings (LSFB) should be recognised not as a 'system', but just
another way of building! We moved closer to the realisation of this
objective in October 2009 when SANS 517 was published, thus effec-
tively making LSFB an officially-recognised building method. This
development should put paid to the last vestiges of doubt about
LSFB among certain local authorities and one or two banks. This
national standard was based almost entirely on the code SASFA

produced about two years ago to define the quality standards that
all LSFB buildings should meet.
Recognition of LSFB will also be encouraged by the fact that four sys-
tems have now been formally accredited. Our efforts to promote both
acceptance and quality also took the form of providing training to
building inspectors, designers, frame erectors and builders.
Until recently SASFA targeted only those issues that were fun-
damental to the establishment of the industry: a recognised
standard, quality, acceptance by the authorities and the banks,
training, etc. Marketing was left for until the industry was well
enough established. During this year, however, we slowly started,
opening the marketing taps with such things as exhibitions at rel-
evant conferences, talks at conventions, and media articles (an
average of about four per month). If we had to pay advertising
rates for all the free editorial for SASFA and light steel frame build-
ing during the year, it would have cost about R360 000.
Anybody who doubts the future of LSFB in South Africa or the enthu-
siasm of the people in the industry needs but only attend one of the
regular industry meetings and observe the spirit of confidence and
enthusiasm.
steel prices
T
he graph below shows how the prices of certain steel
products varied since the beginning of 2007. The pattern is
clear: prices stayed almost constant over the period, except
for a huge bulge, amounting to a 45 to 70% increase above the
trend levels, during 2008. Such a bulge is obviously problematic:
during the rising phase clients are greatly disadvantaged and
come under the impression that steel is both volatile and
expensive; on the way down companies in the industry loose
money as stock is devalued.
In order to assist steelwork contractors in getting paid at fair rates
for the steel they buy, the Institute has for years now provided
SEIFSA with the information contained in Table E-EX.

SAISC Steel Construction journals.

membership
T
he membership of the Institute grew by 4% during 2009,
while the number of steelwork contractor members
increased by 15%. This is quite satisfactory, considering the
difficult times the industry experienced this year.

The Source Book published at the end of 2008, to serve both as a

directory of members and a source of information for anybody
who needs to know something about structural steel, attracted
very favourable comment from members and users. It was
distributed to decision makers in South Africa as well as abroad.

The journals quality, its targeted

articles and specific distribution make
it very influential.

worldwide, to maintain relations with people and organisations
abroad, to learn from and cooperate with everybody who has useful
things to say about topics of relevance to us. It follows that the SAISC
attaches a lot of importance to our contacts with others in the world.

We also attended the annual meeting of the European Convention of

Constructional Steelwork, of which the Institute is a member, at the end
of 2008 in Norway, as well as the more recent Open Day of the Steel
Construction Institute in the United Kingdom. Because of Spencer
Erlings chairmanship of the Joint Structural Division of the South African
Institution of Civil Engineering and the Institution of Structural Engineers
in London, he attended council meetings of the latter (and the former),
building invaluable relationships.

export promotion
T
he construction industry in South Africa, like the construc-
tion industries of most other countries, tends to be quite
volatile, with periods of feast followed by famine. The mar-
ket for structural steel in the country is also smaller than the
potential of the local industry; it will be possible to grow a lot larg-
er, create much more employment and be of greater benefit to
the country if larger markets can be found.

It is logical to look at other countries for additional markets that are
likely not to be synchronised with the peaks and valleys of the inter-
nal market. Such a step makes even more sense in view of the fact
that the companies in our industry have proven themselves on the
export market. Many prominent and complex projects in countries
in different parts of the world testify to our ability to be competi-
tive in exports.

Enter the International Steel Fabricators (ISF) with the task of pro-
moting structural steelwork export from South Africa. Recognised
by the DTI as the Export Council for the steel construction industry,
ISF is a Section 21 company operating, in effect, as the export pro-
motion arm of the SAISC.

ISF researches the potential of regions, assures that clients in target

markets know about our industry and its capabilities, brings opportu-
nities to the attention of member companies and encourages them
to respond to these, maintains a close relationship with government,
collects and disseminates information of importance to exporters, and
encourages clients, consultants and others who are involved in proj-
ects in other countries to consider using local fabricators.

During the year ISF participated in DTI-arranged conferences, nation-

al pavilions and exhibitions in Kenya, the USA, China, Saudi Arabia,
India, Argentina, Australia, Peru and Cuba. Marketing missions involv-
ing member companies of ISF went to the DRC, Australia, Brazil, Q: Why do engineers

during recent years, exports did not get all the attention it deserves.
And yet, official statistics show (see graph on facing page) that a sig-
nificant volume of fabricated steelwork was exported. We believe
that the graph will rise substantially in future, based on the
enthusiasm of ISF members and their ability to be competitive.

his report covers ISF, SASFA and the SAISC separately. We are
pleased to report that the finances in all divisions are sound,
that the full financial reports have been presented to the
respective AGMs and that the auditors report a clean set of books.
It is hard to report on a period where the first quarter of the finan-
cial year was in the good old times but during the remainder of the
year the financial news got bleaker and bleaker and is cloudy for the
foreseeable future. So I am pleased that I do not have to do crystal
ball gazing in a report that reviews the last (good) financial year but
I would be remiss if I were not to explain the steps we are taking to
ride out the storm.
We recognize that cash flow for all three divisions (i.e. collection of
debtors) is critical and a lot of emphasis has been placed on collect-
ing monies owed during the financial year. This was influenced by
two main actions:
1. The employment of Debbie Allcock as book keeper (under the
management of Tiana Venter) has resulted in a major reduction
of old outstanding debts sitting in the books.
2. The introduction of an early bird discount for quick payment of
membership dues has been enormously successful in encour-
aging members to pay subscriptions timeously (about 70% in
money value).
FINANCES

The pie charts show sources of income and expense can't fix it.)

One worrying aspect of the SASFA finances is the apparent rela-

tively large bad debts among membership subscription pay-
ments, which surely are a sign of the financial times world wide.

Nevertheless, SASFA reported an excess over income for the

financial year.

SAISC Finances

The decision by Highveld Steel to withdraw financial support to
the Institute had its full impact for the financial year. This reduc-
tion of income was to a certain extent offset by not filling certain
vacant staff positions.
The fact that book sales and course attendance were as strong as
they were last year helped the Institute to ensure an excess of
income over expenditure. We hope that these features will con-
tinue in the future but we are concerned and do not assume this
source of income will remain never ending in our budgeting
exercises.
The pie charts show sources of income and how the money was
spent.
The most notable changes from previous years is the drop in
funding fron SAISI and the increase in expenditure on education
(mainly for the draughting school).
