France: Eiffage, via its Eiffage Route subsidiary, and Phoenix Services have secured a new contract with ArcelorMittal, through SGA, their joint subsidiary for the removal and processing of by-products from the Dunkirk steelworks, the recovery of metal parts and the recycling of slag. This contract, worth an estimated Euro155m over 10 years, will come into effect on 1 December 2018.
The services to be provided entail collecting approximately 1Mt/yr of liquid slag, removing its iron content by a process already agreed in an earlier contract signed in 2004 and recycling it for embankments, agricultural uses and the manufacture of hydraulic binder marketed by Eiffage under the Sidmix brand. At least 75 personnel will be mobilised on a 24 hour per day basis to guarantee the removal of the slag from the steelmaking facility.
