WHAT DISTINGUISHES US FROM OTHER INDUSTRIES• We don’t make widgets
• We participate in construction projects• 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
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)
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
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
An industry looking forward
SAISC Activities
• Technical: Handbooks, SABS standards, advice
• Education and training• Industry improvement• Interact with decision makers in
government and private sector• Promote the use of steel (market
development)• Defend home market
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

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”
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….
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
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

• Pipe bending
• DB THERMAL : New Nigel facility
• HITACHI : Various
• ALSTOM : Various
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
