We undertook the civil engineering works for the project at the steel works site in Port Talbot which comprised some 6,000 tonnes of steel and 140,000-man hours. Our additional works included repairs to three hot blast stoves, inhaul conveyor systems and high-level bunkers. A new gas plant, fume extraction plant and closed-circuit water-cooling system were also installed. The furnace was completely rebuilt and operational in a record time of 9 months.
