Sheffield Forgemasters has extended its 30-year relationship with Harsco Environmental by signing a five-year contract renewal.
Under the contract Harsco will provide heavy material movements, including molten steel and ultra-large components, slag and scrap management and Melt Shop services.
Harsco Environmental employs 19 staff on the 64-acre Brightside Lane site, supplying 30 vehicles including KAMAG heavy load transporters capable of carrying 320 tonnes and the class-leading Cometto self-levelling transporter, which moves molten steel around the site.
Commercial Director Jeremy Makepeace said: “The work that Harsco Environmental undertakes is crucial to our operations and requires full understanding of the safety implications of each task.
“Most of the work that Harsco undertakes is challenging, whether that’s moving materials in a hot-metal environment, transporting molten steel from the Melt Shop, or moving our largest castings and forgings around the site.
“Throughout the tendering process Harsco demonstrated, in conjunction with an impeccable safety performance, a successful track record of such operations alongside meeting our value for money expectations.”
Russ Mitchell, Vice President and COO of Harsco Environmental, said: “We are thrilled to extend our partnership. This contract renewal reinforces our unwavering commitment to delivering value and maintaining the highest safety standards.”
