At its recent annual meeting in Hilton Head, South Carolina, Steel Tank Institute / Steel Plate Fabricators Association (STI-SPFA) recognized member companies in 13 product categories with its Steel Tank and Fabricated Product of the Year awards for 2014.
There were a record-breaking 55 entries (utilizing 54,742 tons of steel) from STI-SPFA members for the 2014 Product Awards. All members assess each entry by anonymous ballot, based on the following four criteria: Promotional value: Promotes the value of steel fabrication; Uniqueness of product/project: Shows originality and versatility; Design and engineering: Excels in technical aspects and Aesthetics: Has visual appeal. Just some of the awards handed out included Field Erected Storage Tank of the Year, Fabricated Product of the Year and Affiliate Product of the Year.
