TATA STEEL CUTS THE COSTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
Following a recent £2 million investment to develop integrated, steel processing facilities in the North East, Tata Steel is working together with its customers to cut the costs of renewable energy.
OFFSHORE PROCESSING CENTRE (OPC) the Hartlepool-based opC manufactures tubular sections used in the fabrication of jacket foundations and includes state of the art cutting, bevelling and profiling machinery. Through early engagement with designers and engineers, Tata Steel can help customers to optimise the steel usage in a project and identify potential cost savings in steel foundation structure design.
The semi-processed steel products are then despatched in batch quantities, in line with a customer’s build sequence. This approach enables fabricators to fully utilise
operational space at their own premises and reduces stockholding and working capital costs.
IDEAL LOCATION the opC is ideally located on the North East coast, with good sea, rail and road links for efficient delivery to customers throughout the UK and Europe. the tata Steel workforce reflects the engineering skillset of the region, with the site playing its part in a key network of industries in the area.
Richard bell, Director, Energy and power, tata Steel, says: “As a leading steel maker and manufacturer, we are committed to building partnerships that enhance our customers’ performance by providing effective project management, engineering expertise and products and services that create value. We have already booked our first order for the
OPC and we are actively involved with a number of developers, working together to identify the best steel solution for their projects.
We are confident that close co-operation throughout the supply chain will identify opportunities to minimise costs and increase productivity; key to building a successful offshore wind industry in the UK.”
