Approximately 70 Norwegian foundation construction professionals gathered at the Stålpeledag (Steel Pile Day) on June 1. Stålpeledagen is organized by the SSAB Tubular Norwegian team and is the Norwegian equivalent of the Steel Pile Day organized in Finland every January.

Sondre Smeland, Technical development manager of pile products in Norway, Denmark and Sweden, hosted the event and presented also SSAB Fossil-free™ steel and SSAB Zero™ Steel, which is the next generation of recycled steel.
