Engineering with HSS

Steel hollow structural sections (HSS) offer engineers and architects numerous design advantages. Not only are HSS aesthetically pleasing, but they deliver exceptional torsional resistance and compressive strength. They also have less surface area than open sections and can weigh less in certain applications, reducing project costs. Plus, HSS are readily available in a wide range of sizes.
