Second steel construction award for Ruukki within short time - Ypsilon bridge won Norwegian Steel Design Award

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.
