The CSA Project is the result of a successful research and development proposal aimed at increasing the competitive advantage of the construction product manufacturing sector. The project addresses the concept of increasing building performance by means of combining materials and identifies marketable high performance products for both the local market and for export. Some of these products may be existing but in need of enhancement, while others will be entirely new concepts requiring extensive research work. The primary focus is on composite materials that include light weight steel as a major component.
