Second steel construction award for Ruukki with...

Press release 13 May 2009

Delivered by Ruukki, the Ypsilon pedestrian bridge in Drammen has
been chosen as the 2009 steel construction of the year in Norway. The
award is the second Nordic accolade Ruukki has received within a
short time.


The Norwegian Steel Association and Norwegian Structural Steel
Association voted the Y-shaped Ypsilon bridge winner of the award.
The award is made every other year for an innovatively constructed,
architecturally impressive steel construction or structure. The
bridge has previously received a Certificate of Nomination in the
ECCS Awards for Steel Bridges in summer 2008.

Ruukki delivered steel superstructures for the Ypsilon bridge and was
also responsible for prefabrication and installation of the bridge
tower and deck. The work was carried out by Ruukki's Sandnessjøen
unit in Norway. Construction was completed in November 2007 and the
bridge was opened in August 2008.

Ypsilon bridge has also been entered for the ECCS Biannual European
Steel Design Awards to be held in Barcelona in September.
