STATEMENT FROM THE BRITISH CONSTRUCTIONAL STEELWORK ASSOCIATION

The British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) continues to assure the construction sector that the ongoing issues around UK steelmaking will not affect the structural steelwork sector’s delivery of current and future projects.

BCSA says that procuring constructional steelwork from a UK or Irish steelwork contractor is the best way to support UK steelmaking:

– UK and Irish steelwork contractors understand the government’s new procurement requirements for steel, and provide the clearest route for compliance

– Using a UK or Irish steelwork contractor adds additional value to the UK economy through the whole supply chain including the fabrication of the steelwork, and the supply of other products and services such as secondary steelwork, metal decking, protective coatings and cladding

– Overseas steelwork contractors are very unlikely to procure UK-made steel because of the additional time and cost

The UK and Ireland have an efficient steel distribution sector that services the structural steelwork sector well with a balance of UK and high quality imported steels. UK and Irish steel distributors hold high levels of stock and a wide range of products for all construction and infrastructure end-uses. Continue reading →

UK STEELWORK CONTRACTORS HAVE SUFFICIENT CAPACITY TO MEET FUTURE DEMAND – KPMG

As the UK’s construction industry continues to grow, a new report from KPMG says that UK steelwork contractors have sufficient capacity to meet forecast demand for constructional steelwork, without the need for capital investment.

The KPMG report concludes that UK steelwork contractors hold latent capacity of between 205,000 and 406,000 tonnes. This means that the UK’s constructional steelwork capacity lies between 1,142,000 and 1,343,000 tonnes against forecast demand for constructional steelwork of 1,050,000 tonnes in 2019.

Richard Threlfall, KPMG’s UK Head of Infrastructure, Building and Construction said ‘UK steelwork contractors hold latent capacity which will allow them to quickly increase production to meet the forecast rise in demand from the construction industry’.

The report concludes that the required increase in constructional steelwork output in the UK will be achieved through a combination of increasing shifts, use of agency staff, and fully utilising current production facilities, without the need for any capital investment. Continue reading →
