Why Is Decarbonising Steel Production So Important?

The steel industry is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, accounting for around 7% of all emissions. As such, decarbonising steel production is crucial for achieving global climate goals and reducing the impact of human activity on the environment. There are several ways to decarbonise the steel industry, including the use of alternative raw materials, such as recycled steel and iron ore, as well as the adoption of new technologies and processes that reduce carbon emissions during the steel-making process. In this article, we explore some of the challenges, benefits and processes of decarbonising steel production.

Steelwork In Construction: Everything You Need To Know

Steel is one of the most common materials, found in almost every industrial sector, from building bridges, factories, and structures to vessels and cars. In construction, the erection of structural steelwork involves the assembly of certain steel components into a frame. The processes include lifting, placing and connecting components which is achieved through bolting or site welding.

What Is BS EN 1090 CE Marking In Construction?

If your business is involved in any form of manufacturing structural steelwork products, then you should be aware of BS EN 1090-1 CE Marking. Without this certification, you cannot legally run a steel manufacturing business as all products within the scope of this standard must be CE Marked when released to the market. 

This harmonised European standard covering fabricated structural steelwork came into effect on 1 July 2014. BS EN 1090-1 involves the requirements for assessing and verifying product or service conformity in executing any steel and aluminium structures details.

Steel Fabrication And Structural Steelwork UK

Although the construction of steel buildings dates back to the 20th century, it wasn’t until World War II that it became common practice. After the war ended, steel buildings expanded significantly as steel became more readily available. Today, companies like PRV Engineering benefit from modern technology, state-of-the-art machinery and computer-aided design software that have taken steel fabrication to the next level.

Structural Steel Fabrication At PRV Engineering

Structural steel fabrication involves a complex process of turning steel into fabricated products for a construction project or other industrial applications. Structural steel has been a first choice in all types of construction and for quite some time. Even the smallest project incorporates steel because it offers faster construction among many other benefits.

The structural steel fabrication and welding process is demanding and you should only consult experienced fabricators. A less experienced company may not be able to properly perform the tasks at hand which means they could compromise the product viability. Welding and fabricating structural steel requires special expertise that only a few companies share, PRV Engineering is right up there.

Manufacturing 5.0: The Future Is Now

While Industry 4.0 is all about automation and digitisation, the future of manufacturing is in personalisation. Manufacturing 5-0, or the Fifth Industrial Revolution, will focus on the co-operation between humans and robots. Although the focus remains on automation and advanced manufacturing, the human element is more important than ever. We’ll take a closer look at what this means for manufacturing but first, let’s recap our journey up to now.

Is UK Manufacturing Output Back On Track?

The latest monthly CBI Industrial Trends Survey reports that UK Manufacturing output looks promising. They suggest that output has increased strongly and faster since the end of 2017. According to CBI, growth was broad-based, with output increasing in 14 out of 17 sub-sectors. Among the top performers are food, drink and tobacco and mechanical engineering.

Total order books show similar, healthy levels resembling that of December 2017. Exports remained stable, well above average and in line with the past 16 months. Output price expectations for inflation softened to the weakest in almost a year while stock levels moved below average. It hasn’t been smooth sailing as the UK Manufacturing sector faced some serious challenges.

While the CBI believes manufacturers will continue to benefit from robust external demand and the lower exchange rate, overall economic growth is expected to remain subdued. This comes as a result of weak consumer income growth and the continuous uncertainty stemming investments.
