The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction

The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction (HKISC) is a non-profit professional organization established in November 2000. It serves the steel construction industry in Hong Kong and the region, with board members drawn from universities, consultancies, contractors, and laboratories. The institute's mission is to channel technology transfer between academia and industry, make university research more practical for practitioners, share new technology worldwide among members, organize seminars and international conferences, and publish a quarterly bulletin. HKISC also publishes the International Journal of Advanced Steel Construction (ISSN 1816-112X), which is indexed by the Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, and ISI Alerting Services. The journal covers theoretical and experimental research on steel elements, assemblages, systems, materials, design philosophy, codification, standards, fabrication, and innovative projects. HKISC organizes technical seminars and symposia, such as the 2026 One-Day Technical Seminar on Resilient design of road bridges and footbridges and the Symposium on Seismic Design and Analysis of Structures. Its company members include Hilti (HK) Limited, Dow Corning Asia, and Wo Lee Steel Company Limited. As a professional body, HKISC is not a steel producer but a hub for knowledge exchange and standards development in steel construction.
