Ukrainian Center for Steel Construction initiated the development of new environmental standards
Ukrainian Center for Steel Construction (USSS) and Ukrainian Institute of Steel Structures named after V.M. Shimanovsky prepared first edition of DSTU , which aims to achieve a more balanced use of natural resources in new construction, major repairs, reconstruction, as well as projects for the elimination of structures.
