Hanson uses ground granulated blastfurnace slag product in London super sewer project

14 February 2020

UK: Hanson supplied its Regen ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS) product for use on part of the Thames Tideway Tunnel super sewer project in Wapping, London. The product was used to overcome difficult ground conditions. Around 5700t tonnes of Regen, supplied from its Purfleet grinding plant in Essex, was used with 3000t of Ketton cement to create a binder to stabilise soil so work to construct a combined sewer overflow could progress and provide a connection to the main east tunnel.

Costain, VINCI Construction Grands Projects and Bachy Soletanche worked with Hanson in laboratory trials to test the performance of the system and suitability of the selected mix design. Deep soil mixing, a technique that enhances the characteristics of weak soils by combining them with a cementitious binder, was chosen as the final stabilisation method.

The Thames Tideway sewer network expansion is due for completion in 2024 and is happening across 24 construction sites in London, spanning from Acton in West London to Beckton in the east of the city.

Capital Concrete supplies Cemfree to London

29 May 2019

UK: Ready-mix concrete (RMX) supplier Capital Concrete has dedicated two 60t silos at its London plants to supply Cemfree, a low carbon concrete made using ground blast furnace slag (GGBS) made by DB Group. It is the only RMX supplier in London supplying the product in this way.

“We’ve seen customer interest pick up recently, interest which is clearly linked to the growing importance of environmental considerations in construction build designs. Capital Concrete is now a leading supplier of Cemfree in the London area and we’re able to supply high volumes of this product anywhere in the London market,” said Luke Smith, the managing director of Capital Concrete.

Ecocem promotes CO2 savings of its slag cement products

20 December 2018

Ireland: Ecocem says that its slag cement products have saved 10Mt of CO2 emissions compared to regular cement since it started trading in 2002. It produces cement products from ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS). It says its GGBS cement has a carbon footprint of 32kg CO2/t compared to 850 - 900kg CO2/t for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). The Irish company operates four plants in Europe with a production capacity of 2.4Mt/yr.

Danieli and Ametek Land collaborate on automatic electric arc furnace tapping system

30 November 2018

Italy/UK: Ametek Land in the UK has collaborated with Italy’s Danieli on its automatic tapping system to increase operation safety and improve process control for steel plants. The Danieli Automatic Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Tapping System product allows complete furnace tapping remotely from the main pulpit of a steel plant. The system starts furnace tilting in automatic mode, controlling the furnace position during the complete tapping process.

Embedded within the system are two thermal imaging systems from Ametek Land: its Slag Detection System (SDS-E), branded as Danieli’s Q-Slag, and a near-infrared (NIR) fixed thermal imager that is part of the Ladle Level Detection (LLD) system. The thermal imaging systems are used in conjunction with Danieli software to control steel flow in real time.

Q-Slag makes use of an SDS-E imager to detect the transition between steel and slag. It also quantifies the amount of slag that may pass into the ladle. That information is useful for fine-tuning alloys and lime additions for the secondary metallurgy. In parallel with Q-Slag, the LLD system controls when steel inside the teeming ladle has reached pre-set level positions. Back tilting can be done either in automatic mode (when the pre-conditions regarding steel level and weight are met) or by remote intervention of the EAF operator from the main pulpit.

Ametek Land says that its Slag Detection System can improve operator response times and steel consistency at the end of each tap. Those improvements typically result in up to a 25% reduction in slag depths, compared with traditional methods of stream monitoring.

Danieli designs plants and manufactures and installs machines for the metals industry covering the entire production cycle from raw ore to finished steel products. Ametek Land manufactures monitors and analysers for industrial infrared non-contact temperature measurement, combustion efficiency and environmental pollutant emissions.
