The Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia (SRIA) supports reinforcing steel quality and capability in Australia's building and construction industry. The not-for-profit institute is the hub of knowledge for Engineers, Designers, Builders, Suppliers and Students interested in understanding the benefits and applications of reinforcing steel. Reinforced concrete provides unmatched versatility and durability as a building material. It was first used in Australia around 1895 when Carter, Gummow & Co. constructed the Johnstons Creek Sewer Aqueduct in Annandale, Sydney. Since then, reinforced concrete has proven itself as the preferred building material by Australians for its design flexibility, cost efficiency, fire resistance and speed of construction. QUALITY GUARANTEED SRIA requires all members to hold a current JAS-ANZ accredited 3rd party processor certificate to prove their bar and mesh conforms to AS/NZS 4671. Don’t risk purchasing non-conforming products that put Australians at risk. SRIA Members: Active Steel ARC AUSREO BESTBAR Bianco Reinforcing Infrabuild Mesh & Bar Neumann Steel Wire Industries
