argument that if you are really good and efficient clients will come flocking to you. So the Institute should be measured by the degree to which we pursued these two things that would make our industry successful. During the past year we were, as always, totally dedicated to serving the industry, and everything we did could be seen as trying to build the industry’s market or making the industry better, and we also worked on defending the existing market against outsiders. But I experienced the year as slightly frustrating. The state of the world economy and other factors caused the industry’s markets to be weak, intractable problems were experienced on some large projects, and the onslaught from China and other countries has become threatening, not only within the country but especially in other African countries that we have come to see as part of the home market.

This year it was again a great pleasure to work with the people one encounters at the Institute. We had two chairmen – Molefe Kgomo and Charles Dednam – and both were very supportive and a pleasure to work with. The Board was not only supportive, but consisted of a group of enthusiastic people who brought ideas and energy to the SAISC. Similarly, the people who served on committees or got involved in other tasks, such as commenting in detail on the connections book, were of great value to us.

Up to now the Institute has, like most other associations, operated

But we have come to a situation where the forces stacked up against our industry, as against other industries in the country, are huge to the point that a single industry cannot have success on its own any more. The shortage of skills is an example of the problems

Market de velo p ment and co mmunicatio ns

Last year we added the newsletter Steelspeak to the media we use to communicate with our members and with a broader audience. This year we went one step further: we went on Facebook. In doing so, we were one of the first associations in the country to use social media as a communications medium. The jury is still out as to the value of doing this. The audience we target is quite conservative and there has not been a flood of people to our page. We certainly reach a good bunch of people, but they are not very active participants, so it’s a bit of a one way street. Steelspeak has proven to be a very effective medium for getting our message to our target audience, and we regularly get requests from people who want to be

on the circulations list. Our website www.saisc.co.za is equally important and very well visited. But most effort still goes into the journal, Steel Construction. Every indication is still that the people we want to reach prefer to get their communications on paper and that they appreciate the quality and contents of the journal. In the care of Mr Viv van Zyl the advertising for the journal has increased handsomely, which also demonstrates that Steel Construction is regarded as an effective medium for reaching the steel industry and the professions. Steel Awards maintains its status as not only the Institute’s prime event of the y ear, but also the whole South African steel industry’s. We were rather concerned this year: during the past number of years the event just

seemed to grow and grow, to the extent that we had to move the Johannesburg event to a bigger venue to accommodate more of those who wanted to attend. The FIFA World Cup and the general buoyancy of the economy also assured that we had entries in the form of stadiums, airport terminals and industrial projects that blew everybody’s socks away. But what would happen now that the World Cup is behind us and the economic slowdown has worked its way down to our industry? The reality proved to be a big, pleasant surprise. The overall number of people attending the concurrent functions in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town was slightly down on last year, primarily because experience taught us that squeezing too many people into a venue detracts from the enjoyment of those attending and makes the function less sleek, so we limited attendance in Johannesburg. The sponsorships for the function have also held up very well and we thank our sponsors sincerely. The number of entries was certainly down, but the general quality was still good and the winners surely deserved to be winners. In support of the Institute’s introduction of Facebook in our communications strategy the theme of Steel Awards this year was social media, and the entries for the competition also relied on people using the electronic media effectively. We are waiting to see whether this will make people more receptive to

but also with industry and the professions through a variety of media. During the past year we have often spoken on the radio about issues affecting the industry, we have been quoted in the business press, and much has been said about us or by us in papers and journals targeted at segments of industry, the professions, property owners and others. In a few instances a large part of the contents of some trade journal would have its origin with us. Internal marketing, which refers to our interaction with our members, remains extremely important. The Institute can only be effective if our members think we are doing a good job, they know what the Institute is all about, and they give their support. The Institute’s media are important in reaching our members, but they also need to come together sometimes, and the annual Golf Day is one opportunity for that. The event’s attendance can’t

The Institute invited and covered the costs of Dr Leroy of Imperial College, London, to South Africa to present post graduate courses in steel design at the Universities of the Witwatersrand and Cape Town. He also presented talks to audiences of practicing engineers.

During Steel Awards the two top students in structural engineering from six universities, as well as a lecturer from most of these institutions, were bought to Johannesburg under the New Generation banner. They spent a full day learning about steel construction and visiting a workshop, and exceptional structure and a construction site to witness steelwork being erected. They concluded the day by attending the Steel Awards function.

Steady progress was made during the year with the Institute’s programme for the training of structural steel assemblers. A number of companies sent some of their senior boilermakers for a ‘training the trainer’ session conducted by us, and are proceeding to provide directed training to aspirant assemblers. The reports we receive on the performance of assemblers who have undergone this training is hugely heartening. Spencer Erling attended a conference in the United Kingdom on the suitability of engineering education at universities, during which he learned much that can be of benefit to us. The measure of what the Institute does in education is not how much energy we expend on the issue, but what lasting results we achieve. In this regard we are happy to report that we constantly bump into people in the professions or in the industry who have achieved positions 13

The South African Light Steel Frame Building Association (SASFA) During the past year SASFA has actively pursued several initiatives to contribute towards the establishment and growth of the light steel frame building industry in Southern Africa. A steady level of publicity was maintained through ongoing placement of articles in prominent media. Furthermore, we received 8 quality entries for Steel Awards 2011, and the judges selected the Athlete’s Residential Village for the Pan Africa Games in Maputo as the winner of the Light Steel Frame Building Category. SASFA exhibited at the Green Building Conference held in the Sandton Convention Centre. Lively interest was received from mainly architects. Training had again been identified as a priority activity for SASFA. The 6-day training course for

building contractors was presented in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. A total of 44 people attended the courses, and 38 certificates of successful completion were issued. Lectures on light steel frame building were presented on request to senior building science students at the Universities of Pretoria and the Witwatersrand, to establish understanding of light steel framing amongst the next generation of designers. This program will be extended to universities in Durban, Cape Town and Bloemfontein. Five final year engineering students at the University of Pretoria are engaged in research projects on different aspects of light steel frame building. Industry meetings were held in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town to provide feedback on developments and to serve as a platform for networking. Two meetings were held with the Competition Commission, to ensure that SASFA activities are not anticompetitive in nature. SASFA was accepted as an Associate Member of the Master Builders’ Association of SA. As suggested during the AGM of November 2010, we approached the Institute of Architects to establish closer relationships, and two very successful workshops regarding the use of steel (including light steel frame building) in buildings were arranged. 21

It is noteworthy that the manufacturers of light steel frame buildings are expecting to process some 21 000t of galvanised steel sheet during 2011, of which 22% will be exported to sub-Saharan African countries. It is also encouraging that the share of complete buildings (as opposed to roof trusses only) has increased from 20% three years ago, to 40% in the current year.

We are also witnessing an increasing Our members’ widespread exports into

Africa include structural steel for gold mining projects in Mauritania, major coal projects in Mozambique, uranium projects in Namibia and steady exports into Zambia, the DRC, Botswana, Namibia, etc. However, following the global meltdown, the market for mining structures remained depressed and is only now starting to recover. The increased focus of China on Africa coupled with the strong Rand made it extremely difficult to maintain export volumes. This forced the ISF to re-strategise and re-analyse our competitive advantages in the export market, and in particular the Sub-Saharan African mining industry which is our prime export destination. Historically the main focus of the ISF was on its fabricating members. However we observed during the past few years that more and more exports of structural steel are done by non-fabricating companies. Clients are increasingly looking for solutions and not

demand for higher value-add product such as modularised structures with the mechanical and electrical components already fitted. Structural fabricators only basing their business on ex-work supply can expect to see their margins being eroded coupled with a drop in volume over time. The first step in the new evolving value proposition of the ISF was to market membership to the non-fabricating construction companies active in Africa. We have already been successful in attracting the construction company with the largest footprint in Africa. We trust that more will soon follow. Our recent delegation to Australia was a true multi-disciplinary eight person team of whom only two were traditional structural fabricators. This approach was well received by the main contractors. We are awaiting our first major success in South America. Most
