steelwork modules for the deck structure as well as 20 kilometers
of rail track supplied by Corus Rail. |

Burj Al Arab Hotel, Dubai, built to an amazing sail-like
shape on a man-made island, uses 9,000 tonnes of Corus steel
to achieve a beautiful effect. It is one of the world's tallest
hotels, but entry isn't cheap - it costs £3,000 a night
for a single room. |

A former Corus site now houses
the Magna Science Adventure Centre. Hailed as "awe-inspiring"
and "truly sublime" Magna is an amazing day out
involving a multi-sensory, multi-media exploration of the
great ages of industry and technology. Corus are delighted
that the famous Templeborough Steelworks near Rotherham has
been brought to life again, and that they played a part in
its construction and its contents. |

Corus steel is holding up
Chep Lap Kok Airport in Hong Kong - literally . Thousands

was designed by leading architect Sir Norman Foster. |

its new company brand across the world. |
