The Galvanizers Association of Australia (GAA) is thrilled to announce that the innovative Shore Brace 400 hydraulic bracing system has been honoured with a prestigious award at the inaugural Australian Steel Institute (ASI) Steel Sustainability Awards. This recognition highlights the remarkable contributions of companies like Galserv/NEPEAN Building and Infrastructure in Sydney towards sustainable practices within the steel industry.
The Shore Brace 400 system, developed and manufactured in Australia by Shore Hire, offers a groundbreaking solution for construction projects requiring excavation support. What sets this system apart is its modular hydraulic design, providing a reusable hire solution that significantly reduces waste compared to traditional single-use bespoke steel walers. Furthermore, the system’s versatility allows it to support various excavation shapes, including rectangle, square, or multi-sided, up to 20 meters without the need for cross supports.
A key aspect of the Shore Brace 400’s sustainability is its hot-dip galvanized finish, ensuring long-term durability and robustness. Galserv, known for its expertise in galvanizing solutions, ensures that each component is treated to withstand the harshest environmental conditions, thereby extending the product’s lifespan, and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
The recognition of Shore Brace 400 in the ‘company or project initiative, small’ category underscores the industry’s commitment to embracing environmentally responsible practices. By offering a solution that minimizes waste while maintaining structural integrity, Galserv/NEPEAN Building and Infrastructure exemplify the ethos of sustainability and innovation driving the steel sector forward.
The ASI Steel Sustainability Awards honour projects and initiatives that demonstrate outstanding achievements in sustainable steel solutions across various categories. From large-scale architectural transformations to innovative initiatives promoting health, safety, and environmental stewardship, these awards celebrate the diverse contributions of organizations shaping the future of the steel industry.
The Galvanizers Association of Australia extends its congratulations to Galserv/NEPEAN Building and Infrastructure for their well-deserved recognition at the ASI Steel Sustainability Awards. This accolade not only underscores their dedication to sustainability but also serves as an inspiration for others in the industry to strive for excellence in their endeavours. As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of construction and infrastructure development, it is imperative that we prioritize solutions that minimize environmental impact while maximizing efficiency and durability. The Shore Brace 400 stands as a shining example of how innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand, paving the way for a greener, more resilient future in the steel industry.
