United Steel receives two CCIA Awards

United Steel Inc., an East Hartford, Conn.-based fabricator and erector of structural steel and miscellaneous metals, has received two awards for safety and community service from the Connecticut Construction Industries Association (CCIA).

CCIA’s Safety Committee selected United Steel for its Platinum Level Safety Award in the specialty contractors category, recognizing the company’s commitment to worker safety. To be considered for this award, United Steel submitted an extensive evaluation of its ongoing safety education and safety record to the CCIA.

United Steel also received the CCIA’s 2015 Community Service Award for its work with the Kidnetic Clubhouse Children’s Museum in Shelton, Conn. The company donated materials and services to create a new mobile display frame for the museum’s kid-sized F4U Corsair World War II fighter plane. This plane, which was featured in the Disney movie “Planes,” is considered to be one of Connecticut’s greatest engineering marvels and an inspiration to future engineers.
