“IGNORANCE CAUSES UNDER EMPLOYMENT OF STEEL”
Selçuk ÖZDIL founder and executive board member, TUCSA
“Why not more steel being used in the Turkish public sector? Why is constructional steel share in Turkey is behind Europe? We have to emphasize again and again steel’s economical, sustainable, and technological qualities, innovative and competitive benefits even more. The vision of 2023 for Turkey to be realised can be achieved by steel is a rather poignant assertion. However there is a problem in the public sector, more precisely culturally in the Turkish construction sector. When earthquakes strike these are the ailments that cause buildings to crumble. We are striving to prevent these disorders of unregular practices contaminating the steel sector. In the public sector, as a general cultural affliction of building everything with the same material in the Turkish construction. This uninformation must be overcome in great haste and steel must take its due course in no time.”
