diameter by diameter.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on: \u201cThe Importance Of Quality Flat Sheet and Steel Reinforcement Materials In The Construction Industry\u201d, the Civil engineer stated that it is the sole responsibility of the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) to set up a specialized section to handle the construction industry materials alone.<\/p>\n<p>He lamented that while it is the responsibility of COREN and CORBON to monitor building projects across the country, <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/get-quick-loan-for-real-estate-investment\/\">funding<\/a> and logistics might be a major bane of the exercise. He therefore called on Governments at all levels to assist in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the Chairman, Organising Committee of BCPG Ikorodu cell, Jide Olayinka said the idea originated from the Ikorodu Cell coordinator, Late Kayode Beckley\u2019s ingenuity on the need for a collapse free environment in the country.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the workshop was meant to be an event where most of the Steel Manufacturers in Ikorodu, Odogunyan and Ogijo were expected to show case their products and the production processes bearing in mind the place of quality control of their production to meet the World Steel Reinforcement Standard (WSRS).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis theme came out of the great impart of flat sheet and reinforcement materials in construction industry to guarantee its strength and stability against natural hazard and external forces. In the same vein, a number of Steel Manufacturers are established in Ikorodu Industrial Area concentrated in Odogunyan and Ogijo general area. The concentration of Metal Construction Works Enterprises in Ikorodu and it\u2019s environ right from Owode Onirin to Agbowa, Odogunyan to Ogijo is of a sizeable recognition\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/experts-seek-standards-for-steel-reinforcing-materials\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chairman, Organising Committee of BCPG Ikorodu cell, Jide Olayinka said the idea originated from the Ikorodu &hellip; <a title=\"Experts seek standards for steel reinforcing materials\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/experts-seek-standards-for-steel-reinforcing-materials\/\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Experts seek standards for steel reinforcing materials<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5320,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[2890,3123,2893,3124,684,522,41,15282,15307],"class_list":["post-5319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opportunities-in-new-markets","tag-construction","tag-engineering","tag-engineering-in-nigeria","tag-engineers","tag-lagos","tag-nigeria","tag-property","tag-ross","tag-ulta"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Steel-Industry.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11192,"url":"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/coren-to-release-practice-regulation-for-engineering-in-nigeria\/","url_meta":{"origin":5319,"position":0},"title":"COREN to release practice regulation for engineering in Nigeria","author":"Amazing Property","date":"November 22, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) will soon release regulations.
