The recent bleeder opening from our blast furnace caused concern both onsite and in the community. Marion Davies, process safety manager, explains that the bleeders are a safety device to prevent high pressure in the blast furnace: “In this case the cause of the initial opening was a slip in the furnace ‘burden’ (‘burden’ is the term for raw materials in the furnace). This

is the normal reason that the bleeders open and should last a couple of seconds only. On this occasion the automatic switch on one of the four bleeders that should close it again didn’t work properly, leaving that bleeder stuck open for a lot longer than required.”

She added: “The furnace operators responded correctly to reduce air supply

and therefore pressure in the furnace and shift engineers forced the mechanism closed. The automatic switch was changed and all bleeders tested prior to restarting. The failure of the switch is now being investigated by the manufacturers.”

Following a joint investigation with the Health and Safety Executive and Natural Resources Wales into the recent

bleeder opening, the conclusions were that there was no rule breach that caused the extended opening and no risk of a major process safety incident.If you would like to speak with us about any environmental concerns you may have, please contact our Freephone community support line on 0800 138 6560.

DEAR RESIDENT

Happy New Year, I hope you and your families had a restful and pleasant holiday season. Looking back at last year it can be said that 2013 was a difficult year in many respects for us as a business with continuing tough market conditions but we remained positive in the light of this and strived to build our market position in a number of new areas.

We have been delighted to strengthen our customer relationships with prestigious companies such as the Royal Mint and BMW Mini (you can read more about that in this edition) and despite the tough market conditions we have been resolute in our support of the communities local to our site in Port Talbot. We were proud to work with Age Cymru on our ‘From Tata Steel with Love’ gift campaign spreading a bit of festive cheer to isolated older people in your area this Christmas. We have also been excited with our growing relationship with the Young Carers network. Through our association with this organisation we have been able to provide a number of respite opportunities for young carers in the Neath Port Talbot area, a much needed break for those young people who care for others throughout the year.

We have also continued to support the development of our local youngsters through education awards such as the Tata Steel science and technology pupil of the year at Sandfields comprehensive and the Bessemer award for science.

2014 will be a fundamental year for us with market conditions for our product remaining depressed we will strive to improve on our customer base through innovative products and excellent customer service. One of the ways in which we can achieve this will be through the improvement of our energy generation facility at Port Talbot. With the consultation process starting for the power plant at the end of January, I hope that you will take the opportunity to express your views on this via the bespoke website we have developed or through one of the number of local public exhibitions (see this edition for more information)

I’m sure you will have made your own new years resolutions at the start of this New Year. Mine is to continue on the path we have already furrowed towards a sustainable steel industry in Wales.

DEAR NEIGHBOUR

The summer months have been particularly busy for us here with significant maintenance on our Hot Mill rougher (see page 3) this is the biggest single investment made at our plant this year, and will see the mill upgraded to the most powerful of its kind in Europe!

We have also progressed with our application to enhance our Port Talbot’s sites power generation (see page 2) If the project gets the go-ahead, construction would likely start in 2016 and would take up to three years to complete.

Elsewhere in the works, I was proud to see how Concast team leader Graham Roland has documented the vast and rich steel heritage of Port Talbot and surrounding areas, with a 36-metre-long timeline housed in his own works area, Concast (see page 5).

On a personal tour of the timeline with Graham, I was amazed to learn about how steel had been forged on our current site since the 13th century when Cistercian monks worked the then ‘Abbey Farm’ and how Emily Talbot had been a driving force in the early days of the steel industry in South Wales, but mostly, I am grateful that we have such an individual working for the company who is so proud of its heritage that he took the time to preserve it for future generations.

Working hard, day to day, to sustain a steel industry in Wales, we can forget to look back and see what we can learn from the past, but I believe this is an important thing to do.

I am excited for what the next few months hold, especially in our community programme. We will be re-launching our schools programme with the Aberavon Wizards, and encouraging as many of you to come and take part in the Tata Steel Richard Burton 10k race and fun run in November (for further details see page 8).

It looks like there is no slowing down for us, and I’m looking forward to the ride!

As the Strip Products UK business looks to reduce employment costs by £16m, Port Talbot management and trades unions are meeting to discuss proposals that could result in the reduction of the site’s workforce by some 400 roles.

Steve Lloyd, HR manager, says that the central consultation group is working

steadily through the detail of the proposals: “Understandably, people want to know the direct impact on them, their colleagues and their families. But we are confident that reductions will come from natural turnover and voluntary redundancy.”

Alan Coombs, Chair of the Port Talbot multi-union committee said, “We

understand the business is looking to change employees’ working patterns such as shift patterns, holiday arrangements, working cover and so on. The effect on people’s personal circumstances is not to be underestimated.

“Despite the unrest this may cause, I know our people here are professional and

will make sure that safety remains our first priority.”

Steve added, “A process to capture people’s interest in respect of voluntary redundancy has been ongoing during August, and will be followed by a full review of the business requirements before any decisions are taken.”

Mae misoedd yr haf wedi bod yn brysur iawn i ni yma gyda gwaith cynnal sylweddol ar ein mil mwyn garw (gweler

tudalen 3). Hyn yw’r buddsoddiad unigol mwyaf yn y gweithle eleni, a fydd yn

uwchraddio’r mil i un o’r mwyaf pwerus o’i fath yn Ewrop!

Rydym hefyd wedi symud ymlaen gyda’n cais i wella ein safleoedd cynhyrchu pŵer ym

Mhort Talbot (gweler tudalen 2). Os bydd y prosiect yn cael y golau gwyrdd, bydd gwaith adeiladu yn debygol o ddechrau

yn 2016 ac yn cymryd hyd at dair blynedd i’w gwblhau.

Mewn mannau eraill yn y gweithle, yr oeddwn yn falch o weld sut mae arweinydd tîm Concast, Graham Roland, wedi dogfennu treftadaeth dur helaeth a chyfoethog tu fewn Port Talbot ac ardaloedd cyfagos, gyda llinell amser 36 metr dan do yn ardal waith ei hun, Concast.

Ar daith bersonol o’r llinell amser gyda Graham, yr oeddwn yn synnu i ddysgu am sut mae dur wedi cael ei ffugio ar ein safle

presennol ers y 12fed ganrif pan roedd mynachod Sistersaidd yn gweithio “Fferm Abaty”, hefyd, roedd yn diddorol i glywed bod Emily Talbot wedi bod yn grym gyrru yn nyddiau cynnar y diwydiant dur yn Ne Cymru, ond yn bennaf roeddwn yn ddiolchgar bod gennym gweithiwr mor brwdfrydig ac mor falch o’i dreftadaeth ei fod wedi cymryd yr amser i ddiogelu ar gyfer cenedlaethau’r dyfodol.

Wrth weithio’n galed, er mwyn cynnal diwydiant dur yng Nghymru, o ddydd i ddydd,

gallwn anghofio i edrych yn ôl, a gweld beth y gallwn ei ddysgu oddi wrth y gorffennol, yr wyf yn credu bod hyn yn beth pwysig i’w wneud.

Rwy’n teimlo’n gyffrous am y misoedd nesaf, yn enwedig am ein rhaglen o waith yn y gymuned. Byddwn yn ail-lansio ein rhaglen ysgolion gyda’r “Aberafan Wizards”, ac annog cynifer ohonoch i ddod i gymryd rhan yn y Tata Steel Richard Burton 10k a ras hwyl ym mis Tachwedd (rhagor o fanylion tud 8).

Mae’n edrych fel nad oes arafu i ni, ac rwy’n edrych ymlaen at y daith!

The recent launch of the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth marks a major milestone in Tata Steel’s 12-year involvement in the project.

In that time the company has supplied 40,000 tonnes of steel, and developed three entirely new grades of lighter and stronger steel specifically for the future flagship of the Royal Navy. Tata Steel will also supply steel for a second carrier, HMS Prince of Wales.

Over the years, the project has involved a number of Tata Steel teams, including research and development, technical and production staff from five UK sites and mills. Steel was supplied from both Port Talbot and Scunthorpe and processed at Dalzell, Scunthorpe Plate Mill, Skinningrove and Hartlepool.

Alongside the mills, technical and supply chain experts, a dedicated project management team worked closely with

BAE Systems to provide more than 90% of the steel used. Customer technical services lead for energy & power Allan Paul has been involved in the project since 2007 when he supported rolling trials at Dalzell.

Allan said: “We did the trials to prove we could produce wide plate to meet the quality requirements for ship grade EH46.

“This proved to be a challenge since the steel had to be thermo-mechanically rolled to get the high strength needed. BAE

Systems also put tight limitations on the quantity of strengthening elements that could be used. 

“It was a bit of a surprise when I visited Rosyth recently to see that the pile of plates we toiled over had been transformed into a massive ship bristling with modern technology. It’s great that she is now being formally launched and I hope I get a chance to see her again before she leaves the Forth later in the year.”

The Port Talbot Hot Rolling Mill has recently undergone its most extensive maintenance since 1986, when the plant was visited by the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The main activity was focused around the “rougher mill”, which has been upgraded to be the most powerful of its kind in Europe, with two, 200-tonne, 12.5MW motors being installed. This should enable the mill to roll upwards of 3.5 million tonnes per year with improved consistency and reliability.

The rougher mill carries out the first-stage rolling of red hot slab, reducing its thickness from about 230mm to as little as 32mm in a series of five “passes”.

Extensive safety inductions were given to some 1,500 contractors to enable them to join Tata Steel engineers on electrical, civil and mechanical projects across the plant.

Significant maintenance was also completed on the rest of the Hot Rolling

Mill to bring the engineering standards back to world-class precision.

Project lead Steve Winkley said: “The

installation of the new equipment was the culmination of two years of design, planning and risk management, with 90% of the equipment being built and installed during normal production.

“People have worked incredibly hard on the project with a great sense of purpose, camaraderie and professionalism. The reward for all of us is seeing the mill back up-and-running, in the best condition it has been in for many years.”

Mike Wixey, engineering director, added: “While the upgrade to the rougher is critical in releasing the potential of the mill for speed of work, availability and consistency, it is the work we have done to recover to first-class engineering standards, especially in the finishing stands, that will make the most difference to this mill’s performance.

“We’re planning a ‘run-rate’ of 3.5 million quality tonnes a year by the end of March,” said Mike.

The reversing rougher is the part of the Hot Strip Mill that reduces a red-hot slab from 230mm to as little as 32mm by passing the slab between a set of rolls. The slab passes through five times in total, each pass reducing the thickness of the slab, before it is coiled temporarily in the hot coil box.

The strip, which is still red-hot, is then uncoiled and passes through the “finishing mill”, which is made up of seven roll-stands, before the finished strip is cooled on the run-out table and coiled for further processing.

hOt Mill gets the rOugher treatMent

An incident involving residue in a coke oven gas pipe at the Reheat Furnaces in the Port Talbot Hot mill was enough to trigger an evacuation of hundreds employees and contractors working on the maintenance project, during

August.Graham Stockford, Health and Safety

specialist, said: “While the incident turned out not to be a serious one, it was good to see hundreds of people following the correct evacuation

procedures that were part of their induction.”

Sirens were silenced once the area was confirmed safe, and employees and contractors returned to work within the hour.

In the last issue of SA13 we highlighted that our community alarm siren would be tested at some point over the summer months.

A date has now been set for this test on October 3 and it will include a major emergency procedure (live exercise) run-through with co-operation from the Neath Port Talbot Joint Resilience Unit, South Wales Police Force, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and Welsh Ambulance Service.

There is no need for local residents to do anything on the day of the test, so do not be alarmed by the siren, it will beep for five seconds then you will hear:

“This is a test of the Tata Steel Emergency Siren. Repeat, this is a test only.”

The message and beeps will be repeated three times.

Further information can be found in the major emergency advice document that has already been sent to your homes.

If you have not received this, or have only recently moved to the area, please email spukcommunity1@tatasteel.com and an email version will be sent to you.

Alternatively you can contact the community advice line for more information on 0800 138 6560.

The creation of buildings as “power stations” that can harness the sun’s energy to generate, store and release their own energy has come a step closer with the opening of the new Pilot Manufacturing Resource Centre at SPECIFIC in Baglan.

Dedicated to the scale-up and commercialisation of functional coatings for steel and glass, the centre, which houses new laboratory facilities and a new processing line, will be used to develop materials for manufacture, coating and product testing. Representing a shift in energy generation, the technologies being developed by SPECIFIC are forecast to deliver huge economic benefits, a new £1bn industry with up to 10,000 supply chain jobs, centred in Wales.

The new centre has received £1.9m funding from the Academic Expertise for Business (A4B) programme, a six-

year programme of support funded by the Welsh Government and European Structural Funds to support knowledge transfer from academia to business.

The Welsh Government Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, Mrs Edwina Hart, formally opened the

centre and commented: “This is an extremely important milestone in the SPECIFIC project and highlights the importance of industrial and academic collaboration in taking forward such highly innovative work.

“The new centre has the capability to deliver commercial solutions to industry partners, create new products and services which will benefit supply chains in Wales.”

SPECIFIC’s new Pilot Manufacturing Resource Centre will build on initial research undertaken by the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre. The SPECIFIC family of projects is led by Swansea University, with support from a range of industrial partners including Tata Steel alongside smaller companies such as Gwent Electronic Materials.

Kevin Bygate, chief executive of SPECIFIC, said: “We are excited to be working on a project of real global significance. We’ve made rapid progress in the development of our technologies and with this new facility we will take the next steps towards a new renewable energy future by bringing them closer to commercial reality.”

In terms of academic accolades, “Learner of the Year” is a pretty good one to have, so fourth year Structural Design Engineer apprentice Luke Davies was rightly delighted on receiving this award, for his academic success in the Civil Engineering & Building Studies category 2013-14.

Luke, a fourth-year apprentice in the Design Office, beat off 240 other apprentices to this award.

Apprentice training officer Mike Rose said Luke’s success reflected both his commitment and tenacity towards his studies – both at college and work: “Luke is a great ambassador for Tata Steel, and an excellent reflection of the calibre of the apprentices we currently have. He should be very proud.”

Two years of hard work has finally come to fruition for Graham Roland, team leader Concast.

Graham has been working tirelessly on days off from his job in Concast, researching, documenting and creating an historical timeline depicting the history of the steelworks from the 12th century right through to the present day.

With a strong leaning towards his own area, Concast, Graham has created a monument now installed at Concast which will be a lasting legacy.

At over 30 metres long, the timeline is the biggest thing of its nature ever to be installed within the works and, using images and information from the

steelworks archives, it is certainly a feast for the eyes.

It includes original tools used in the 1950s and 1960s and a clock from a works area dating back to the 1950s.

Graham’s ambitious idea came about from his keen interest in the works heritage: “As part of the works heritage committee, I was able to see that a lot of people wanted to know more, but we didn’t really have one place to house all we had already in our archives,” says Graham. “I’m hoping that this timeline will be the start of something special within the works, helping us preserve and celebrate our heritage.”

Technical director Dr Martin Brunnock

was on hand to cut the ribbon and officially open the timeline, with invited guests David Rees, AM for Aberavon, and Neath and Port Talbot Mayor, Councillor Huw James. All were astounded by the sheer scale of the project.

“It was a privilege to open this timeline,” comments Martin, “Graham’s passion for this project is evident. It is an excellent piece of work and sets out where we have come from.

“Graham took all the guests through the timeline and told us some wonderful facts about the works I didn’t even know – amazing to think our steel is on the roof of The White House and that Blackpool beach is full of Port Talbot’s sand!”

More than 150 children from the Neath and Port Talbot area had the opportunity to attend a free summer rugby and netball camp held at Dyffryn Comprehensive School, thanks to our partnership with the Aberavon Wizards.

The children, aged between seven and 13, were taken through rugby and netball

drills hosted by some of the professional players at the Wizards and local netball team coaches.

The camp was completely free of charge, and many of the children enjoyed their day so much they came again the following day.

“Some of the kids had never even

played rugby or netball before,” comments Gareth Howell, Aberavon Wizards RFC, “It was a new venture for the club, but with 35 children attending each day it was excellent. Being able to provide this to the community was a bonus for us, we know how difficult it can be over summer to find affordable and fun childcare for your kids,

we hope we’ve been able to help a few parents out with the opportunity.”

Technical director Dr Martin Brunnock went along to hand out certificates to all attendees and was impressed by the enthusiasm shown by the children for the day.

“It’s rewarding to see the effect our

‘future generations’ work in the local community has,” comments Martin. “This camp was fantastic as it gave local children the opportunity to be outside, getting fit and staying active, and having fun in a safe environment.”

Aberavon RFC hope to be able to provide a similar camp next summer.

Another successful Tata – Kids of Steel© series has come to an end with two brilliant Welsh

events in Swansea and Newport.More than 1,600 young people aged

eight to 13 had the opportunity to try a triathlon,

many for the

first time, and the excitement and jubilation on their faces as they crossed the finish line was proof enough that they had a good time!

The events were hosted at the Wales National Pool Swansea and the International Sports Village in Newport, both with the help of employee volunteers who helped make the day special for the young people, encouraging

them to achieve in the pool, on the bikes and

cheering them over the finish

line!

Margam Castle played host to 1,500 11-year-olds, all eager to get some vital information and advice for their big transition to secondary school.

Now in its 19th year, Crucial Crew is an event organised by the Safer Neath and Port Talbot partnership with the aim of raising young people’s awareness of personal safety and the potential consequences of criminal or antisocial behaviour.

Facilitated by Tata Steel’s Future Generations donation, the event is fun and interactive with 11 agencies participating from the police, fire service, Food Standards Agency, RNLI and Calan domestic violence service to name a few.

Peer educators also play a role, with pupils from local secondary schools hosting an information stand on a number of topics ranging from internet safety to bullying.

Over a fortnight the pupils from 61 primary schools in the Neath and Port Talbot area come for a morning or afternoon session. All leave with a goody bag stuffed with information from every presenting organisation.

A follow-up session is conducted with the pupils six months after they

visit Margam, where the team form Safer NPT see how much they remember from the day. The results often show that the more interactive the session the more information they retain.

“We have been supporting this

event for a number of years,” comments Nia Singleton, community liaison manager. “It’s great fun and informative and the pupils really get a lot from it.

It’s so important in their transition to comprehensive school that the pupils are engaged and know what potential risks to look out for.”
