This extract from s4.5.6 Impact of Emerging Technologies on Steel Fabrication for the Construction Industry - Issues Group Reports from the Steel - Framing the Future project report explains that fabrication technologies may be hampering the competitiveness of steel in high-rise building construction in Australia. The paper's aim is to promote awareness of the potential economic benefits from adopting new technologies such as inverter power sources for welding, laser and high-definition plasma cutting, laser hybrid weldiong and robotics, and to identify some of the barriers in realising these benefits.
