"This event is a good opportunity for Zamil Steel to meet key personnel in the engineering community and Industry. As a steel buildings provider, we are aware of the susceptibility of engineered structures to the dynamic effects of lateral loads especially during an earthquake, since more taller, larger and lighter structure are being designed and constructed today. It is also the reason why we diversify our products with Structural Steel and Open Web Steel Joist, beside Pre-engineered steel buildings", said Mr. Joel G.Velasco, ZSV's Country Manager in Philippines.
