UBC Steel Bridge Designing, drafting, fabricating, and constructing 23' model steel bridges since 1999.

For the past eighteen years, the UBC Steel Bridge Design Team has internationally represented the University of British Columbia at the National Student Steel Bridge Competition (NSSBC) in the US. This competition challenges university students to design and fabricate a scaled bridge made primarily of steel, with different rules and design constraints every year. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) hosts this competition annually.

Title Sponsor Spotlight: Niik Steel

UBC Steel Bridge is proud to recognize Niik Steel as our Title Sponsor for the 2025/2026 season!

Niik Steel is a full-service fabrication, construction, and engineering service provider, delivering projects from start to finish on budget and within schedule. This is achieved through a complete range of in-house resources and a collaborative, personable approach to their clients. Their broad skills and industry experience make them a one-stop shop capable of managing a project from design, steel fabrication, and procurement to construction and delivery.

For our student team, the heart of this partnership comes alive right on the shop floor. Our partnership with Niik defines what true industry collaboration looks like, as their expert welding and fabrication teams have worked closely alongside our members, mentoring us hands-on through the physical welding and fabrication of our competition bridge.

Operating out of a state-of-the-art 30,000-square-foot manufacturing facility featuring two 88-foot gantry cranes, heavy-capacity overhead cranes, CNC drill lines, beamlines, 12 fabrication stations, a Wheelabrator surface preparation machine, and a dedicated painting facility, Niik exemplifies precision and innovation. Being able to learn directly from skilled supervisors, engineers, and fabricators who automate processes and prioritize top-tier quality gives our civil engineering students a profound appreciation for constructability, structural behaviour, and the real-world practicalities of bringing an engineered design to life.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Niik Steel for sharing their time, facility, expertise, and mentorship with our team. Partnerships at this level play an instrumental role in both our competitive success and the professional development of our members as future builders and engineers.
