However, exists a local cutting and assembly industry and powerful engineering teams able to develop appropriate work plans for the steel construction of complex three-dimensional structures. In the picture we can see the supporting structure of a building enclosure made of steel. It´s likely that the origin of steel is China, but nevertheless, once supplied in sheets, it has been cut and assembled in local industries . Is this procedure , that is supported by the availability and easy transportation of raw materials worldwide and transforms them into local industries, sustainable? Greetings
