  1. Southern African Institute of Steel Construction Impacts of Industrial Policy Action Plan on the Steel Construction Industry March 2010 Dr Hennie de Clercq Executive Director Kobus de Beer Industry Development Executive

  2. Our industry

  3. The things we produce Structures for: • Buildings • Bridges • Power stations • Petrochemical plant • Mining industry • Roads • Railways • Community buildings • Factories • Stadia • Shopping centres • Transmission lines • General industry • Harbour cranes • Communications • Agriculture

  4. Examples of our work Portnet ship-to-shore container crane SAISC Awards winner 2006

  5. Examples of our work Burj Al Arab, Dubai

  6. Examples of our work Ebay Liberation mining project

  7. Examples of our work Khalifa Sports Complex, Abu Dhabi

  8. Examples of our work Obanja Cement, Nigeria

  9. Examples of our work Transmission line pylons

  10. Examples of our work Snap Lake Project, Canada

  11. Examples of our work Steel-framed house

  12. Examples of our work Soccer City Johannesburg under construction

  13. Examples of our work Maponya Mall, Soweto

  14. Examples of our work Nelson Mandela Bridge

  15. Modern workshop October 2009: Opening new Cosira works at Vulcan 30 000 sq m 5000 tons/m

  16. Fabrication in workshop DSE Works in Vanderbijlpark

  17. Erection on construction Site Soccer City in Johannesburg under construction

  18. WHAT DISTINGUISHES US FROM OTHER INDUSTRIES • We don’t make widgets • We participate in constructionprojects • Structures are designed by engineers, architects and others • Each structure (and virtually each element of each structure) is unique • Projects typically large, take a long time • Relatively small capital investment to create one job

  19. WHAT DISTINGUISHES US FROM REST OF CONSTRUCTION SECTOR • Elements made in workshop, assembled on site • Safer, healthier, better trained and better paid jobs • Computers play a bigger role in our lives (more knowledge intensive)

  20. WHAT MAKES THE INDUSTRY IMPORTANT • 40% of all steel used in construction • About 2 m tons per year • 80 000 people employed • Key enabling industry: have to have structure in place before machines can be places etc - without structural steel industry, can’t have other industries • Green: social, economic, environment

  21. World class industry • Materials control systems • Engineering and draughting • Health, safety and the environment • Quality assurance • Competitive • Past 3 years – huge investment in new equipment, software, training

  22. An industry looking forward

  23. SAISC Activities • Technical: Handbooks, SABS standards, advice • Education and training • Industry improvement • Interact with decisionmakers in governmentand private sector • Promote the use of steel (market development) • Defend home market

  24. SAISC Export promotion(“International Steel Fabricators” – ISF) • Promote image of SA industry in target markets • Pursue projects in other countries – mobilise SA companies • Surveillance of world and regional trends and opportunities • Interact with government

  25. Structural Steel Exports pa (t) HS Code 7308 ITAC statistics

  26. Steel Construction Industry and IPAP • NIPF (National Industrial Policy Framework) Launched Jan ’07 (Min. Mandisi Mpahlwa) Four lead sectors: • Capital & transport goods & metal fabrication • Automotive & components • Chemicals, plastics & Pharmaceuticals • Forestry, pulp & paper • NIPP (Offset commitments) vs CSDP “Competitive Supplier Development Program”

  27. Competitive Supplier Development Program • NICHES (CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE): • Structural Steel industry ! • - Creating capacity, investments… • - World class production, quality, safety.. • - Export capability…and results • - Creating jobs:75 per 1000t/a capacity • - Training, upskilling, research & dev., • - Sustainability…GREEN! • - BBBEE: Construction Charter….

  28. SAISC CSDP Participation • DTI SDP program – became CSDP • PBMR – Deferred, ongoing preparations • NIASA – Delayed, ongoing preparations • ESKOM • - Power station steelwork • - Power line industry • - Project labour agreements (PLA’s) • TRANSNET CSDP • UNIDO SPX Centre – Profiling • - Benchmarking

  29. ESKOM CSDP Progress • - Structural steel fabrication capacity • - Substantial new capital investments • - Best practice world wide studied • - Most modern facilities world wide • - Technical input: steel grades & sizes • - Move from 40% ex Chinese to 100% RSA supply, fabricate & construct

  30. Steel Construction Industry Kendal Power Station

  31. ESKOM CSDP PROGRESS • STEINMULLER : Boiler capacity • Pipe bending • DB THERMAL : New Nigel facility • HITACHI : Various • ALSTOM : Various

  32. DTI INCENTIVES • Not only financial !! • Must not result in “crutch” industries • Must align with other initiatives – eg SETAS, ASGISA, BBBEE, etc. , etc. • Must build capacity: knowledge economy • EIP (Enterprise Investment Program) 2008 • New ideas being requested / investigated

  33. Steel Construction IndustryNew Opportunities • POWER LINES • HARBOUR CRANES • SASOL • PETROSA • PBMR • NIASA

  34. With complements from:The Steel Construction Industry Moses MabidaStadium – Durban Winner 2009 Steel Awards

  35. THANK YOU ! MAKE THE SAISC AND THE STEEL CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WORK FOR YOU “We speak fluent steel”
