Advancing the built world with sustainable steel
Our cross-functional team of specialists provides steel product expertise and construction solutions for your building and bridge projects from design stage to completion.
Partnership
With knowledge of the latest market analytics, design trends and steel innovations, Nucor is poised to provide solutions as your strategic, collaborative partner.
Breadth Of Capabilities
We can help you navigate our wide array of steel products and create tailor-made solutions to overcome specification challenges and identify efficiencies to meet your project’s goals.
Circularity
Nucor uses circular, electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking to create sustainable steel products with one-third the carbon emissions compared to blast furnace steel products.
Shaping the Future of Construction with Steel
Our domestic production capacity, low-embodied carbon steel products, solutions and design expertise can help you build next-gen advanced manufacturing facilities, mission-critical data centers and complex structures faster and more sustainably.

The Challenge
How do you
structurally support
a spiral high-rise
building?
To maximize the location and views of Manhattan, the construction and design team created a unique spiral structure requiring a different floor plan and frame for each of the building’s 66 floors.
THE SOLUTION
Innovative structural
system
Nucor’s Aeos™ ASTM A913 high-strength structural steel was used to support the unique structure with fewer tons compared to ASTM A992 due to Aeos’ higher strength-to- weight ratio. Less steel was needed to support the same load and the engineers were able to maximize leasable space with smaller columns and reduce the project’s overall carbon emissions.
HEAR THEIR STORYBank Of America Tower 110 North Wacker, Chicago
The Challenge
How can you build a 57-
story high-rise with
close proximity to the
Chicago River?
The building construction and design team had the
opportunity to leave their mark on the Chicago skyline with
this prime location but needed the right materials to bring
their vision to life.
THE SOLUTION
Realizing the full
potential of
high-strength steel
Using Aeos™ ASTM A913 high-strength structural steel for the building’s
lower-level transfer columns allowed the designers to create the building’s defining architectural aesthetic. Specifying Aeos instead of the traditional ASTM A992 resulted in significant steel tonnage savings.
Two Story Distribution Center Midwest, USA
The Challenge
How can logistics owners and operators maximize their build site location and still meet their storage needs?
While urban distribution centers offer unparalleled access to a large concentration of consumers, available urban space is usually limited compared to more rural areas.
THE SOLUTION
When space is limited, the only way to go is up.
The team was able to go vertical with the building design to maximize the available space with Nucor’s high-strength structural steel solution, Aeos™. Aeos’ high strength-to-weight ratio solved the floor height and structure weight limits while reducing overall structural steel costs and carbon emissions.
HEAR THEIR STORYDomestic Manufacturing with
Sustainability in Mind
Clayton, NC
The Challenge
How can a large-scale manufacturing project meet ambitious sustainability goals with multiple stakeholders and teams?
Novo Nordisk had stringent sustainability targets for its fill-finish pharmaceutical manufacturing expansion in North Carolina that tripled in size to 1.4M SF due to product demand.
THE SOLUTION
Aeos® ASTM A913 Grade 65 steel reduces tonnage and minimizes overall GWP
Selecting partners early on who shared a circular, sustainability mindset was the key to success. The project team — owner, architect, structural engineer, construction manager, fabricators and material suppliers — collaborated early in the design process to select the most sustainable building materials upfront, reducing the risk of costly design changes later in the project.
Switching from ASTM A913 Grade 50 wide flange steel to Aeos® Grade 65 reduced tonnage which saved over 840,000 kg of CO2 (32%) compared to the industry average for 50 ksi material.
