About this Event
Steel reuse is no longer a theoretical conversation, but the industry still lacks clear, consistent ways to evaluate, prioritize, and specify reused steel in real projects.
This in-person Steel ReUse Working Group session brings together engineers, owners, fabricators, demolition contractors, and sustainability leaders to co-develop practical evaluation protocols for steel reuse, grounded in real structures and real-world constraints.
Rather than sitting in a boardroom, we’ll be walking an active site, using an existing structure as the lens to ask the questions that actually matter:
- What types of reused steel do we want?
- What works best structurally, commercially, and logistically?
- What information do engineers and owners need — early — to say yes to reuse?
- How do we embed steel reuse checks into standard building and structural evaluations?
This session is designed to be open, practical, and collaborative — no prior involvement required.
What We’ll Be Working On (Together)
This session will formally establish and advance the Steel ReUse Evaluation Protocols, including:
🔍 Evaluation & Assessment
- What makes steel reuse-ready?
- What minimum data is needed to assess suitability?
- How do we align reuse with existing engineering standards and review processes?
🏗️ Real-World Application
- Member sizes, types, and conditions that actually move between projects
- Market realities, risk thresholds, and decision timing
🔁 System Integration
- How evaluation protocols plug into project workflows
- How steel reuse can be checked by default, not as a one-off
- Informing how steel is documented, assessed, and transferred between projects
Who Should Attend
This session is intentionally broad and welcoming. We encourage participation from:
- Structural Engineers & Existing Building Specialists
- Owners & Developers
- Fabricators & Steel Contractors
- Demolition & Deconstruction Professionals
- Sustainability, Carbon & Circular Economy Leads
- Anyone shaping how steel buildings are evaluated, designed, or taken apart
