and Improve Enviromental Performance
by David Atkin, British Steel
British Steel has started work on £80 million of investments to enhance its product range and improve operational and environmental performance. The bulk of the investment, some £48 million, is financing the installation of a new billet caster at the company’s Scunthorpe site. At the same time, the British Steel Scunthorpe Rod Mill facility is being given a £32 million upgrade, while further investments are being made at FN Steel, which is British Steel’s sister company located in the Netherlands.
