Ensuring Long-term Structural Integrity
At Sverdrup Steel, we are dedicated to driving innovation in the construction industry by providing expert guidance on high-performance stainless steel solutions.
Stainless steel is a cornerstone of modern construction. It plays a vital role in structural applications such as skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, and residential buildings. Its durability ensures long-term structural integrity.
Advantages
The versatility of stainless steel enables groundbreaking architectural designs, allowing for complex structures that adapt to evolving environmental and engineering requirements. Prefabricated stainless steel components streamline construction processes, improving efficiency, reducing labor costs, and minimizing project timelines.
Unlike galvanized steel, stainless steel maintains its corrosion resistance over time, ensuring a longer lifespan and reducing maintenance needs. Additionally, its manufacturing process produces no residual heavy metals, gases, or sludge, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.
The Munch Museum
For the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, Sverdrup Steel provided more than 10 tonnes of high-strength, entirely maintenance-free, highly durable and robust 1.4462 / DUPLEX UNS S31803 for a steel pedestrian bridge. The Duplex steel was cut into multiple pieces by our waterjet cutting machine. The steel creates a solid and sustainable foundation for generations to come.
Stainless Steel in the Construction Industry
Duplex stainless steels offer a cost-effective and high-performance alternative to conventional grades. With lower nickel content, Duplex provides price stability while delivering superior mechanical properties. It belongs to the same corrosion class (CRC III) as 316L and 316Ti, yet offers more than double the tensile strength. This enables significant weight reduction in structural applications, leading to cost savings and a lower environmental impact.
Compared to aluminium, stainless steel has a significantly lower thermal conductivity (15W/mK vs. 115W/mK). This property helps prevent thermal bridging, making stainless steel the ideal material for energy-efficient constructions such as KfW Efficiency Houses 40 Plus.
Sustainable Steel for a Better Tomorrow
Sustainability is at the core of our business. Sverdrup Steel is committed to advancing the industry’s sustainability through expert guidance on stainless steel solutions.Our consultancy, together with innovative and scientific material research, aim to optimize operations and minimize environmental impact, reinforcing the industry’s growth with our robust and efficient steel products.
