In this blog, we explore why structural steel is one of the most recycled materials on the planet, and how its sustainable nature makes it a powerful tool in reducing environmental impact across the construction industry.

10 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Steel Fabrication Partner

The Canadian construction industry is undergoing a significant transformation — driven by innovation, technology, workforce shifts, and increasing demands for sustainability.

If you're a builder, developer, or project manager navigating the world of structural steel, you're likely to encounter terms that sound technical, unfamiliar — or just plain confusing. At Tresman Steel Industries Ltd., we believe clear communication is the foundation of every successful project.

At Tresman Steel Industries Ltd., safety is not just something we talk about — it is part of everything we do. From the steel we fabricate to the work we perform on site, safety is built into every step of the process.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), it’s a globally recognized certification system that provides a framework for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining high-performance green buildings.

At Tresman Steel, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a commitment we integrate into every beam, joist, and project we touch. As the demand for eco-conscious construction grows, we’re proud to play a key role in shaping a greener future through the use of recycled structural steel and LEED-certified practices.

Welding is the backbone of structural steel fabrication — quite literally. It’s the process that fuses individual steel components into a single, load-bearing structure capable of supporting buildings, bridges, industrial facilities, and more.

In the ever-evolving world of steel fabrication, technology plays a critical role in ensuring precision, efficiency, and excellence. Among the most transformative tools in our industry is Computer-Aided Design (CAD) — a powerful system that has redefined how steel structures are designed, planned, and executed.

When it comes to building the foundations of our modern world — from towering skyscrapers to massive industrial facilities — structural steel plays a vital role. At Tresman Steel, we work with this essential material every day, and we’re often asked: What exactly is structural steel, and why is it so important? Let’s break it down.

From fabrication shops to on-site installation, automation is transforming how structural steel is produced and assembled. Let’s take a closer look at how this technology is reshaping the industry — and what it means for our clients.

In the world of construction, few materials have had as profound an impact on architecture as structural steel. Over the past century, steel has not only reshaped skylines but also redefined what’s possible in building design, performance, and efficiency.
