PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Dear Fellow SSSS Members
The society is now 30 years old. Over the years, the council have
worked with fellow members and other related agencies to develop
programmes that keep us abreast with the markets.
In the area of continuous education activities, Structural Steel Engineers
(StEr) course had been restructured for potential structural steel
engineers to equip them with Eurocode design standards 3 & 4. This is to prepare them well
with the knowledge of structural Eurocode design standards, as Building & Construction
Authority (BCA) had made structural Eurocdes to be the only prescribed design standards
from 1st April 2015. The Structural Steel Supervisors (StS) course is also popular with the
industry players, who sent their employees to attend this course to upgrade their knowledge
and skill in structural steel construction.
Many of our corporate members had utilised the various productivity incentive schemes from
the various government agencies to make use of these funds to upgrade their working
processes and equipment. I guessed the upgrading of their facilities may have assisted our
steel fabricators to upgrade to S1 and S2 in the societys Steel Fabricators Accreditation
Scheme. To date, we have 19-S1, 21-S2, 30-S3 and 18-S4 in our register.
The society will need the continuous supports of our fellow members, so that we can work
together for the betterment of our industry. I would like to thank all the members who had
contributed to the growth of our society and also to my council members and the Secretariat
who spent many of their precious hours to keep the societys activities running well.
With warmest regards
Anthony Tan

Structural Steel Supervisor Course (StS)
The StS Course, jointly organised by BCA Academy and SSSS, has conducted 24 batches
of classes. We currently have 460 registered Structural Steel Supervisors with the SSSS.
Structural Steel Engineer Course (StEr)
The StEr is jointly organised by BCA Academy and SSSS, to prepare and update practicing
engineers in the design and construction of steel structures. The course content had been
newly updated since 2011 to prepare the industry for migration of BS 5950 to the Eurocode
(EC3 & EC4), and complements the existing Certification Course for Structured Steel
Supervisors (StS). We have since completed 11 batches of course and have 77 registered
Steel Engineers.
Renewal of StS and StEr
StS and StEr graduands are subjected every 2 years (StS) and 1 year (StEr) with SSSS.
Their names are listed on the SSSS website and will be removed once their registration
