6. Airport Takes Off With BlueScope Lysaght And XLERPLATE®

Construction on Australia's newest and most efficient airport passenger terminal is off to a flying start, with the help of established Adelaide based steel fabricators, Manuele Engineers, and BlueScope Steel. XLERPLATE® hot rolled plate steel was used to manufacture massive structural steel beams allowing clear spans of up to 41 metres, which were used in conjunction with LYSAGHT® purlins to build the supporting structure of the building.
