It is quite amazing to see how steel can be found in sculptures, swimming pools, structural components in construction, bus stops or even toilets! I just read that ArcelorMittal is the leading steel supplier for sanitary ware in Europe.

. Two articles: ‘Steel in Design’ and ‘Stainless steel in swimming pool’ have attracted my concern over use of steel in many more innovative ways and it must be much beyond regular commercial use which are in general in common people’s mind.
As a civil engineer I was using it as a structural component. But when I was asked by my Managing Director (of Rourkela Steel Plant[RSP],Orissa)to design an entrance gate for the main building, I was thrilled and finally it has become a landmark in Rourkela, Orissa, India. Thereafter MD gave me a number of opportunity to design structures and monuments made of steel, produced by RSP and each of these structures are now the bright images of RSP. The name of my MD is Dr. Sanak Mishra who is CEO, Greenfield Projects, India of ArcelorMittal.
So INNOVATION is the “call of the day” to take a big leap in the direction of making steel more popular and who else can be the flag-bearer other than our company ArcelorMittal.
I have been directed by Mr. Vijay Bhatnagar, CEO India to introduce more and more steel for all our forthcoming works in the Green field Projects in Orissa and Jharkhand, India. I have designed Public Toilet and Bus-stop shelters using steel and stainless steel.
However it is high time to deswign more of such common facilities in steel in modular forms and these may be made available of the shelf.
