The ATRIO Towers in Bogota: The first high-rise venture for ArcelorMittal in South America
ATRIO is an impressive mixed-use project located in the centre of Bogota, Colombia. Composed of two towers, North and South, it will offer 250 000 m² of office space and 10 000 m² of public space at ground level. It is the first high-rise project for ArcelorMittal in South America. 90% of the steel sections for the construction of the North tower were provided by ArcelorMittal.
3900 tonnes of sections from ArcelorMittal plants in Luxembourg and Spain
Constructing a high-rise building in a seismic zone and in a country where most constructions are made of concrete was a sizable challenge taken up by the teams involved in this project.
Designed by the architecture firms Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and El Equipo Mazzanti, the ATRIO Towers feature impressive column elements and facade trusses built to resist seismic activity and to improve the torsional behaviour of the structure - a breakthrough for local architecture and structural design.
To comply with the design and its technical requirements, ArcelorMittal International provided 3900 tonnes of steel sections, including 400 tonnes in HISTAR® grade (ASTM A913), produced by ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products in Differdange.
Customers 100% convinced by the steel solution
ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products’ association with the project (through our technical assistance department) began in 2013 with AECOM consultants and subsequently with ARUP engineering.
A number of reasons were behind the choice to work with ArcelorMittal:
• HISTAR® steel offers the exact weldability properties that the client needed and does not require preheating.
• We offer the widest range of sizes among steel producers.
• We can provide long-length sections as well as cut-to-length sections.
• The project required steel made with at least 50% recycled material and our sections are 100% scrap-based.
Apart from its mechanical properties, the use of steel helped to improve the design of the tower. Thanks to the jumbo steel sections embedded in concrete, column size was reduced resulting in elegant slender composite columns with sophisticated diagonal lines in the facade.
Breathing new life into the city centre
This development provides a boost to the Centro Internacional area, the city’s former business district, by bringing new business, tourism, public transportation, and culture to the area. The construction of the North Tower, measuring 200 metres (44 floors), is the first phase of the project. 50 000 m² of office space, 4 600 m² of public services, and 1800 m² of retail space are available.
The high quality of our products, the service provided, and the efficient cooperation between the teams at ArcelorMittal International and ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products were important factors in our successful participation in this project.
The construction of the ATRIO North Tower started in 2015 and is now complete. It is one of the first major steel high-rise buildings in South America, and it certainly won’t be the last.
An award-winning tower
ATRIO North Tower attained LEED GOLD certification and has won several awards, including:
• Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) 2021 Awards in the following categories: Best Tall Building 200-299 Metres 2021 Award of Excellence, Best Tall Office Building 2021 Award of Excellence, and Structural Engineering 2021 Award of Excellence.
• ICCA ACESCO 2019 Prize in the Building category.

Our steel found in mint condition in 1904 house
In the city of Bonn in Germany, steel beams produced by ArcelorMittal's Differdange mill were recently discovered in perfect condition in a centenary house during a remodelling project.
First-class quality after almost 120 years
Blending in with the white interior design of the house, the beams could almost go unnoticed. This was exactly the case until the owner, Paul Udo Hanus, decided to renovate. He was astonished by his discovery: 'DIFFERDINGEN NP 12' stood out on the massive steel beams that were "in perfect condition".
Wondering where the beams could have been manufactured, Paul’s internet search led him to ArcelorMittal. He thought it would be a nice idea to contact the company. In an email, he highlights the perfect condition of the steel beams and pays compliment to the colleagues and employees of 1904 and to ArcelorMittal for the first-class quality that is still maintained today. Steel beams were manufactured under difficult, industrial conditions at that time, which is why the long durability is even more gratifying.
Our Differdange mill today
Today, ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products’ Differdange mill still produces similar beams. Thanks to several modernisation programmes over the years, today the mill can produce the heaviest beam blanks and the longest and heaviest beams in the world.
Moreover, the QST (Quenching and Self-Tempering) process is being used to produce a new generation of HISTAR® beams of exceptionally high quality.
Thanks to their high yield strength, outstanding robustness, and very good welding properties, they have made Differdange famous worldwide. They are used in the construction of high-rise buildings all over the world and will probably last at least 120 years - just like their ‘great-grandfathers’ in Bonn.

Useful information
MoreA wide range of the highest quality
The mechanical characteristics of ArcelorMittal's sections are improved by precise control of the temperature during the rolling process.
Steels, produced using thermomechanical rolling (delivery condition M), feature improved toughness values thanks to a lower carbon equivalent and a fine microstructure when compared with normalised steels. With regard to their technological properties, the thermomechanically rolled steels have good cold forming properties. Similar to conventional structural steels, they can be flame straightened provided specific maximum temperatures are not exceeded.
In case stress relieving is considered for reducing residual stresses, the usual parameters concerning temperature range and heating time according to the rules of practice must be applied. Hot forming, which is uncommon for the fabrication of sections, must not be performed in accordance with EN 10025:2004.
The steels are typically delivered with an Si content ranging between 0.14% and 0.25% and are as such capable of forming a zinc layer during hot-dip galvanisation.
As the phosphorus content of these steels is usually lower than 0.035%, this does not have any influence on the final thickness of the coating in the considered Si range.
