Industry recognition

The ASI takes pride in recognising the achievements of its members. Initiatives undertaken in 2024-2025 to recognise such achievement include:  

  • The ASI Steel Excellence Awards. Held in 2024, the awards showcased Australia’s best and brightest steel designs. State and territory winners competed in six categories for awards presented at a gala end-of-year dinner at Doltone House in Sydney. For details, see: https://www.steel.org.au/asi-awards-portal/. 

  • The ASI Steel Sustainability Awards. Entries are currently being taken for the 2025 awards in three broad focus areas: projects, companies and people. For details, see: https://www.steel.org.au/asi-steel-sustainability-awards-2025/. 

  • ASI-sponsored academic awards presented to students at state and territory universities. 

  • ASI-nominating projects for international awards. In 2024, an ASI-nominated project was named best project at the World Steel Association’s 2024 constructsteel Awards in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Sydney Modern project – a winner of the large projects over $10m category in the ASI 2023 Steel Sustainability Awards – was recognised for its innovative efficiency and design practices, most notably its 54% reduction in whole of life carbon emissions by harnessing renewable energy sources. For details, see: https://constructsteel.org/news/constructsteel-awards/.

  • Sponsorship of the annual WorldSkills competition, which sees apprentices in steel and other professions compete in local and world competitions. 

  • Membership of the World Steel Association (worldsteel).
